Huge cheers and celebration for the return of the prodigal! That’s right folks, I found it – my motivation!
For the last few months, I have been feeling uninspired. A little listless. Luh-ay-zee. I’ve done nothing more than the bare minimum required of me socially, at work, and to silence my mom’s voice in my head.
But in the last few days, since beginning to recover from HEAD COLD: FALL ’09 [insert 3-D graphic and “Dunh Dunh, Duuuh” music here], I’ve been on a roll!
Exercise – POW!
Bring my lunch to work – POW!
Make an appointment to give blood – POW!
Wash my face before bed (yes, it had gotten that bad) – POW!
It’s not summiting Everest or curing cancer or abolishing shag carpeting, but one must revel in the small victories, yes?
And I’m not new: I know that this train may only go so far down the track, but I’m ridin’ it for all I’m worth. The alarm is set for a 6 AM appointment with my elliptical trainer, and I’m on my way to bed before ten.
For the record, I found my motivation in my punchbowl/liquor cabinet, hiding behind my secret stash of Jif peanut butter.
On second thought, maybe it was bourbon I found. Same-same.

Keep up the good work while we’re gone! Glad I still fit into that bare minimum social time you’ve had energy for =)
Yeah, I was thinking, Rona was just doing the bare minimum when she flew out to Maryland just to visit me and Brian…oh, and her other friend, Paul. š So glad you’re ridin’ the train for as long as it’ll take your sorry ass. Glad you’re feeling better, too. Go get ’em tiger!
Hopefully you will be spending some time with our mutual friend Kathy since I have totally been giving her the cold glutteus maximus.
Okay! I’m all caught up. Phew!
I’m feeling like a big jerk for not reading sooner but I know you love me anyway.
SO SO SO happy you’re writing! I loved every post.
Subscribing now.
Can you get me a scoop of that too? I need it…
