ACL
ACL weekend…gave me a lot of time alone to think. Think about feeling sorry for myself, think about Haarlem’s health, think about how hard this training is going to be for me, and most of all I have just been feeling sorry for myself. It’s pretty pathetic. Oh, woe is…

That was something Guruchundar said during my first weekend of training. It really hit home for me, because here I am spending all my time discussing in detail all the agony I am going through and it’s almost as if it’s literally intensifying the pain I’m in. I could go on…

Humbling experience

It’s getting harder
I am not even three months in and this is getting really old. I am absolutely sick of waking up everyday to swollen eyes and red raw oozy skin. It’s now spread to my underarms so I have to put extra thought into what shirt I pick out so it…

Pushed towards your furthest corners
Here is just a little update on my skin. It’s been extremely hard to sleep at night and my neck is “oozy” at night. Benedryl only helps so much. I have to lay a towel over my pillow to prevent it from getting nasty. Looking at the ITSAN website always…

Wishful thinking
This is a list of things I am going to do once I am all healed up. 1. Volunteer again at the McBeth Recreation Center 2. Teach FREE yoga classes for a while, maybe at McBeth too. Otherwise in the park. 3. Get my make up done at MAC and…
