I think I want a Hoveround....

Those commercials always intrigue me...you know what I mean.  The one where the guy is singing in his Hoveround and it shows Grandma and Grandpa about 6 inches from the edge of the Grand Canyon.  I don't want to live in one, by any means, but I could see myself cruising down to the neighbors and maybe taking a trip to Cancun or something like that.

I am also returning to work very soon and actually looking forward to it.  I went in for a few hours the other day and things felt "normal".  And since I haven't had that feeling for a couple of months now, it was, well, nice.  Not sure how to fit in my daily nap (which can occur anywhere from 10am-4pm, depending on my mood) but the small details will work themselves out.

I will say that I'm going to miss my Physical Therapy sessions and the people there.  My fellow PT-ers (who are all about 89 years old and most have weird monitors and tubes coming from all kinds of orifices) finally started to accept me and called me "honey" and "sweety" and congratulated me on my progress.  When I first started I had to take the outside lane on the walking track around the room and watch someone's great Grandma zip by me carrying her oxygen bottle on the inside lane and giving me the "I'm kicking your ass" smile each time.  I finally graduated to the inside lane and boy did I show her (not really, but it was nice to be in the "fast lane").   And I'll miss Christine, who not only got me walking again, but showed me that I can do 4,589 squats and even though I had to pee standing up to avoid using those quad muscles, I can survive. :-/

I went to my gym to just check it out and see what machines I can use and what is going to have to wait.  It seems like I've been trying to lose weight my whole life, and to be at the gym to increase muscle mass and endurance seemed strange to me, yet very refreshing.  So when I go back to work, I'll still be going to the gym and working on being fit, even if a half marathon isn't quite in the near future.  Hell, maybe it is, and I just don't know it yet. 

With that, my dear friends, I'm signing off....
