Its been a while.
I've had a busy year. Here are some quick updates in order of priority in my life:
The boy is making me proud. He is a much more together teenager than I was. Ok, that's not saying much. He's actually doing very well. Mid junior year, he's thinking about colleges and majors...something we wouldn't have thought realistic at the end of the first semester of sophomore year. Can I get a "Hell ya!?"
The boy dog is also making me proud. There was a low point when I thought we might have to send him away. He was taking umbrage with anyone who tried to come near my house. By "taking umbrage" I mean "trying to kill." SInce he is 100# of solid muscle with all the strength of a bully breed, we did not take that behavior lightly. Several hundred dollars and hours of work later, he has made a remarkable turn around. He no longer tries to kill my guests. We are happy about that.
Fitness -wise, I'm dealing with some injuries, but getting stronger nonetheless. I'm riding my bike again, Yay! People I used to out ride regularly are currently leaving me for dead on rides. No worries. I'm happy just to be on the bike. On my last ride there was actually a buzzard circling but, fuck him, I lived.
2011 is shaping up to be a good year. But! Shit. I have a birthday this year that I have some anxiety about. Suffice it to say that I got a membership card in the mail this week from those motherfuckers at AARP. The hell? I didn't think 50 was actually going to happen to me.
Fuck.
