Quit thinking in the past, our miles are pretty much equal now.

Huh, I'll be damned, our mile is one (if I'm going to continue using this analogy) yard longer.

My headaches have gone away and I didn't have to cut my hair (thanks for the advice though, fade).
Plus spring, or what passes for spring in Canada, is almost here and I'm almost ready to go out and expose my corpse-white flesh to the sun.
Almost but not quite. I've got this game to finish first.

Allergies are driving me crazy. Going to make a doctor appointment and try to get the prescription-strength stuff to avoid me clawing my eyes out and becoming a snotty mess.

Still getting over the sore of my bruises. Got a sore throat from being stuck in the cold while wet as well. Nothing too bad but it aches to do alot of things at the moment.

I'm sorry you're still sore, but you made me think of a bad joke...

"Girls are like noodles. They're only straight until they get wet."

I knew a chemistry major once who said "Women are like titanium. They're strong, flexible, and get them hot enough and they'll combine with anything."

Had a breathing treatment, x-rays, they gave me 3 different prescriptions, was there most of the night.

So holding out on the busted tooth due to lack of funds to visit the dentist? Now it's abscessed and needs a root canal. $150 to clean it out and put a temporary filling in, and then $750 for the root canal.

But at least I'm no longer curled up in a ball in bed begging the pain to go away and popping aspirin like candy. The root canal is scheduled for next week. And it looks like I'll have to work that night too boot. :(

The root canal that I got (from a military dentist, too! ) was actually not too bad. Yeah, it was long, and all things considered, I'd rather have been playing X-Box, but it wasn't so bad.

Part of that might have been as a result of being on an almost first-name basis with all the docs at the dental clinic, though. *rueful smile* I really did NOT take care of my teeth for the longest time...

I've said it before, but the stress and lack of proper sleep from working and going to school full time is really taking it out of me. I can't wait for the next 2 weeks to be over.

Thursday I went to the doctor to go over my lab results and xrays from my routine checkup. Please note that it's been 6 years since I've been to the doctor at all, I eat a lot of red meat - like almost every day - and I don't exercise. I also drink a lot of soda. So I just knew that the doctor was going to tell me that I needed to eat better and that she was going to prescribe me medication to lower cholesterol or blood pressure.

Imagine my surprise when everything was baseline. Everything. She was amazed and said, "You could afford to lose a few pounds but other than that you are the paragon of health. We could use you as an example of how a 46 year old white guy should be."

So not only is it not skin cancer (it's benign), but I'm in GREAT physical health. This alone has helped with my stress levels. So you fuckers ain't getting rid of me yet!

That's the bomb eh?

I was expecting to be in trouble in my last physical with high blood pressure or high cholesterol based on my God awful diet but ended up with a pretty clean bill of health.

My cholesterol goes up about 5-10 pts every year. Still don't know why. My diet is amazing, it's probably the physical activity that's lacking.

Lesson learned, no matter how good a specific pizza place's pizzas are, do not trust them if they also make a selection of Chinese foods. My stomach is churning with rage over the garlic ribs and wontons I've eaten tonight.

I had a root canal about 6 years ago. The pain going in was unbearable. The procedure started and when it was over it was like "what, you're done?" Felt instantly better.

The dental clinic I will have the procedure done at has all the latest toys, so my biggest worry is financial. No worries at all about the work.

Bleh. I eat right, and exercise every freakin' day, and I still have borderline cholesterol levels. Genetics will get you end the end, I guess.
