The dog has bladder stones and a urinary tract infection, poor guy…the kitty has skin allergies that are driving her mad, poor girl…and our other cat seems to be going through a “hell on four legs” phase…
…and how are you?
Oy!

I’m giving some real thought to starting up a fitness transformations blog. Credit it to my excitement over joining the new gym, and my extreme annoyance with myself for allowing my physicality to get where it is, but I am determined to have a ridiculously dramatic before-and-after moment this summer.
After all…we are traveling to Romania in September, and if I’m going to be hiking around the foothills of Transylvania, climbing 1400+ stone steps to explore castles and ruins atop mountains, this little gal needs to be back in tip-top shape.
I’ve done it before, I can do it again. Know what the scariest part is? The “Before” picture! Eeek! Thankfully, no one ever sees the “Before” picture until the yummy-nummy “After” picture is right beside it. That does take a bit of the sting out.
Such a good day!
We joined a new gym, about which I am extremely excited. As some of you know, I was once a group fitness instructor at my old gym. Thanks to a former boss, I wasn’t able to continue teaching, which not only broke my heart but also made it extremely awkward all the way around.
So today, the mister and I were out running errands and decided to swing through a new gym opening up not far from our home. Fell in love with the place within five minutes. I almost keeled over when I realized that they offer the very same classes that I used to teach! I may get the opportunity to jump back in the figurative saddle again! *insert very happy headbanging rocker-chick motion here*
Plus, we got to talking to the head fellow, and come to find out, he is planning to produce a magazine for the gym and is in need of writers. Let’s see. Combine my favorite things in the world? Let me think on that one for a millisecond… hehehe…
Such a good day. I’m so excited. Incredible gym, terrific people, amazing opportunities, all in one fell swoop. And to think, some people don’t believe in fate.
*watches tumbleweeds blow by*
I’m still alive, just somewhat shadow-lurking right now. Still abysmally sick, I’m coughing my head off, feeling like acid is being poured down my throat, and as if an anvil sitting on my chest.
I’m just sick and tired of being sick and tired. My days are spent lying around like a used-up dishcloth. The place is a wreck; every time I start to clean, I send myself into a coughing fit. Hubby missed a week of work because he has the same thing, but then he started to get better…and then yesterday he relapsed. So tomorrow it’s his turn to go to the doctor (I went on the 6th).
*sigh*
I swear to be a better buddy once this crud gets out of me. Pinky swear. With cherries on top.
For now, I’m off to take more medicine, and to plot an update to this whole site. New year, new slate, and all that. Next post will contain resolutions!
