State of Amy, long overdue

In massive amounts of pain over the past few days. I'm hoping that the cause is the workout I did on Thurs after class. The Honey has suggested that I use the treadmill instead of the elliptical since I can hardcore walk for as long as I want to with few effects. I will try this in my next few sessions.

Double E has decided I am her workout buddy. I'm gonna be doing cardio and stretching every Tues and Thurs with her. I may add something on Wed. Joanie, our practical instructor strongly advised against beginning a weight training program until next term cause we will be building muscle so much this term anyhow that it'd be overload for the muscles. I can understand this.

Started with a coaching program this Friday past. A gal that is in my class is taking the coaching program thru school. Its interesting. Identifying goals and setting "assignments" for the next week to see how that feels. Rinse and repeat.

I'm terrified of clinic starting on Monday. Not because I think I'll do badly at the massage portion. No, I'm terrified that I will find out that my body will not take the abuse of the next two terms. The large amounts of pain I am in right now does not make this fear any easier to deal with.

I need snuggles. I am not happy about the idea that the Honey will be leaving Monday for CO again. I will not have him to come home to after my first day at clinic to hold me and pet me and give me soup cause I'm so tired. He won't be there to see my face as i tell him about how amazing the experience was. No, not happy about this at all.

I have picked a date and begun working out logistics of going to meet the sun. Likely we are going to South Padre Island. Not too far from there is a hotel that the Honey may be able to get us reservations at. I will sit in the sun and sand and surf. It will be good for my soul. The fact that I have to wait until March is irksome. I will be patient.

I read all the way through Boy Meets Boy. I am less impressed than I had hoped to be. I like her current strip much more. Far more character development and storyline in this one. The old one is mostly sex and excuses for sex. The only novel thing about that is that its between two men instead of any other configuration. I mean really sex is just sex. Especially when you aren't showing much of it anyway. "Ah yes, young boy toy is naked again..." can only be done so many times before I get bored no matter which gender he's sleeping with.

I get to go see the Pompeii exhibit tomorrow. I'm excited about it. I think it'll be a moving experience for me. I've already notified the Honey that once I get to Greece we may not come back. I think it'd be a great backdrop for me. The colors are great! I am really looking forward to the exhibit too. Lots of cool things to see and experience. I'll be fascinated.

I made cookies this evening. Well, actually I made trad cakes. I didn't want to go through the trouble of making an entire batch of cookies, large mess, stay up late to bake them all... you know the drill. Anyway, I made them and they are cooling. The butterscotch kinda got melty but I think thats ok.

Trying not to get sick here. Along with the pain I have acquired a sore throat. I'm taking Wellness Formula along with my Fibro Response. We'll see what happens. I have arranged for a massage for myself tomorrow afternoon. I'm hoping that will help with the whole situation.

I have a bottle of wine. A fabulous bottle of wine to be exact. Beautiful late harvest cab from Hungary. I need a really good reason to open it. I haven't thought one up yet. We shall see what happens in the coming year.

Made a new connection with someone who is not afraid of me. That was really neat. There are far more people that run screaming than those who say, "Bring it on." In fact, I can only think of two. As you can probably imagine I value that highly. I am intruiged. Again I say, we shall see what happens in the coming year.

Many many peeples in KC trying to convince us to move back there. I already know that the East coast is not somewhere that the Honey wants to move. I do know that he wants to move back to KC at some point. As much as I'd like to forgive and forget the allergy hell, I just don't see living there as pleasant. I will allow that my body chemistry may change. Why can't I have the income that will allow me to travel as I please. That would be perfect. That way I could bring people up to visit me too!

Star says we need to have a Star party here at my house in MN. She wants to meet all the people that know about her up here. I would probably be convinced to open said bottle of wine for Star's visit to MN.
