Weather above.

Well had a nice trip up north this weekend for an extended family B-Day party. It was nice to make it up there. I really enjoy spending time with those weirdos. Sadly, many were sick. The sixteen year old came down with it. she was over it in two days. I have now come down with it. I'm on day two. It has settled in my throat. Oddly, below the voice box so I haven't developed any croaking abilities. But that's the spot that seems prone to developing into Bronchitis. So, hopefully that doesn't happen.

I have a party on Saturday and a songwriting/jam session on Monday. I'm hopeful to make both, but I won't bring this bug to anyone but co-workers who deserve it anyway. So anyway, I'm a little under the weather and suffering from an unusual lack of creativity. Along with that I've had an annoying run of minor bad Karma. but I believe I'm through that so expect better blogging in the days ahead.

update: doctor 2, schnoodler zero. Bastard. However, in my defense the lo-carb definitely kicked in and so, maybe it wasn't him. anyway, I'm off the steroids. For those of you who have never been on extended low (20 grams or less) lo-carb, you have no idea what you're missing. I mean besides yummy food. so many annoyances simply disappear. Why I let myself get pulled off of lifestyle is beyond me. It's highly forgiving, you can cheat at least once a week after you've lost the weight. there's really no reason to ever get off of it. Well I'm on it for the third time. I lost fifty pounds both times. I'm down 15 so far this go around. I should shed 2-3 pounds a week for a couple of months before is starts slowing down.

I tend to avoid running when over 205lbs, because of arthritis in one of my ankles from all that running in my youth. I'm getting very close to that. Hopefully I'll be running soon!! yay. I need to invest in a bicycle. Maybe I'll snag a good winter deal and be ready for spring. Lord knows my ankle can't really handle the kind of miles I night put on it. Better augment with another form of exercise.

Of course being low on cash some of my plans will have to wait. so far I've got desires to land a kayak to take advantage of this beautiful lake I'm on, a bicycle, and a practice membership at a local golf course (I work 1 mile away, perfect morning workout, at least the way I golf.) I figure I can afford none of the above, but I'll see what I can do. The good news is that me and my boss(es) see eye to eye on the direction of my store, I'm thinking with the alternative energy slant we've got a winning strategy. And of course that means more money for me. Problem is, I have to develop the business first, and transfer the store over from junk to something sellable. so I really could be a few months from cashing in meaningfully.

I apologize for the lack of anything interesting but I wanted to get something down this week. Hopefully, I can make more interesting use of the info later.
