RAWR!!!

I am home from my latest 5 day hospital stay! More info to come later.

Unless you or your "partner" had sex with a dog or a cat or whatever, your pet is not a member of your family. You are not its parent and it is not your child.

You basically have a slave you use for your own emotional pleasure.

A shark and a laundry machine. This is my life.

I am totally living life in reverse. Roughly I think most people's idea of normal life progression would be something like this:

care free teenager-college-good job-married and kids-retired with no job-get old and get sick-the end.

Check it how I do though with my age and live reversing style!

15-hospitalized with life changing illness
20-married with kids
25-divorced/single
26-college freshman
31-starting a new career
35-no job, avoiding housework, watching tv, basically being a teenager

See what I mean. Other than the college to career track I have basically lived life backwards compared to most. Pretty much I have to start taking naps then in a year wearing diapers and the cycle will be complete.

2010/2011

In 2010 I accomplished 9 of my 12 goals. I didn't do a church thing I wanted to, I didn't send a book to someone I said I would and I wasn't able to to 20 pull ups on the rings by my birthday. Other than that I did everything I wanted to.

For 2011 I have already failed on growing my hair out for the whole year. My scalp really was letting me know it did not like longer hair. So massive amounts of dandruff or short hair? I chose short hair.

I also wanted to do 4 IBJJF tournaments, I don't think I will be able to do more than 1. The biggest part of that and another goal was to go to Brazil in July and compete in the International Masters and Seniors Championships in Rio. And win my class. But if it is almost March and I haven't been able to train or roll for 7 months there is no way I can be ready for that level of competition in 3 months of training.

So I'm gonna miss Pans, Mundials, Int M&s, Pro-Gi World trials. I might make the US Open and world no-gi. Or I will have to do some smaller local things.... If I even ever get to go back to a high level of training.......

Those things were really my only new goals for 2011 and in February I already know I won't accomplish them. So now I guess I have to back track to just trying to deal with all my health issues. Though I am not really sure what I can do to really help that other than just wake up every day.

BTW I am still only 125 pounds. 140 feels like a looooooong ways away.

Things I like about today:

I didn't have to wake up to an alarm clock.

My shark hoody.

How my new clothes and haircut from yesterday look on me.

The sugar packing treatment of my wounds is yielding a noticeable change for the better.

Papas y juevos y chorizo burrito for breakfast.

I feel energetic enough to want to do the dishes, the laundry, change the burnt out porch light bulbs and make dinner tonight.

No candy in the house to tempt me as I was the 'snack assassin' and threw them all away yesterday. Not even soda!

I got to do a little bit of weight lifting last night and I don't hurt this morning.

Que cosas are you happy about hoy?
