Life is proceeding along at it’s alloted pace. I’ve been working, working out, sleeping, and socializing when possible.
Fitness is going fairly good. I am still working on getting back to where I was prior to being ill. I’ve lots a few lbs on the bench press and I am stalled on rows but overall I am progressing. Diet is horrible. I am back to eating junk food, mostly because I am too tired to cook anything or prepare unch for myself. Working, while I am enjoying it, is tiring, and I don’t generally feel like doing much after I’ve gotten home and worked out.
I really would like to eat a lot better than I am, since I know it will affect my health negatively, and I spent so much time last summer working on improving what I eat. On the plus side, I am not getting fat, on the negative side, my cholesterol must be through the roof.
Two things I need to stop eating, simply because I get nauseous when I eat them; sugar and diet cola. The easiest way to get nauseous and/or a headache - drink diet cola or eat anyhing with sugar. Of course, diet cola is basicallythe only thing I drink… and I LOVE sugar. It is one of those cases where stupidity trumps clear body signals that say, “Don’t eat/drink this you stupid GIT!”.
Stable at 206lbs and 15% body fat. Is good. Would like to get down to 12%, but I don’t see that happening as long as I am eating like I am.
Poor Katt is having a really rough time with fibromyalgia symptoms. It is hard to see her struggle with the fatigue and pain that comes from her fibromyagia. I love her so much and I wish with all my heart that she was pain free and healthy. I want to be healthy, emotionally and physically, so I can be there for her when she needs me.
The hard part about working outside the house is that I’m not able to be at home during the day. I wish the web business was able to support us, but it just isn’t any longer. The web sites have become less of a priority for me, but I am still working as hard as I can to update them as often as we have new content.
I do like to work, that is for sure. For now I am getting enough work, and I have been offered full time work… I want to make sure I make the right choice, for a few reasons. I want to work in a place I enjoy (not a problem, as the jobs I have outside the house are all great), and I also need to make sure I make enough to pay the bills. I need to earn enough to meet a certain threshold.
Life is full of difficult choices.

Tonight will mark the first party we’ve thrown since summer time. It’s exciting, but I had forgotten how much work it is to get a party set up.
I’ve got most everything done except the final surface clean and floor wash. I’ve also got a few minor set up details to finish, such as making the bed in the dungeon and putting the fold out chairs on the deck. If I am feeling REALLY ambitious I’ll dust the shelves in the living room.
Yay for parties!

It is Katt and my 16th anniversary today. We met on Feb 2nd, 1992 at a sushi restaurant in Metrotown.
For anyone that doesn’t know the story, Katt and I met on a BBS called Foundation’s Edge in late 1991. I wrote a message in one of the message boards wanting to talk to other people interested in ceremonial magic, and Katt was the person that replied. We carried on e-mail, and then phone conversations for about 6 weeks, and eventually we decided to meet in person. I think we are probably one of the first couples to meet on a computer system.
The rest, as they say, is history.
A lot has happened in 16 years, both amazing and challenging, and she has always been the brightest part of each day for me. If you can’t already tell, I adore her.
Happy Anniversary, Princess!
