Okay, this is late.....being without Internet access at home just plain blows.
New Year's Eve was spent at a friend's house with my family. I actually had two Mike's Hard Lemonades and after that the Percocet kicked in and I worked at staying awake for the rest of the evening.
Yeah, yeah - I know: booze and narcotics don't mix!!
For this year, I didn't make any specific "New Year's Resolutions" as they never pan out. I did, however, make some goals for myself that I'll try to attain this year:
Over the last year, I've caught myself being hampered by my illness - mostly my thinking I can't do this or that because I'm going to be in pain....
Probably the one thing that I want to do more is ride my bike......the $200-plus mountain/street bike that I bought just before I started doing dialysis. Even better is riding my bike to school to save a little on gas.
This is kind of goes hand-in-hand with the first goal - I find that I complain a lot more about aches-n-pains and I find it irritating. People ask "How are you doing?" and I find myself responding with a 'shopping list' of medical crap.
Normally, I really don't want to hear this from anyone else and I certainly don't want to hear myself doing it either.
Ever since all of my medical crap starting figuring into my daily life, I've always strived to see the silver lining in the clouds and there have been times where I've stumbled with it.
To be honest, there has been too much crap happening in the last year to keep smiling all the time, but one thing I've always realized is that despite all the crap that happens to you in life, there will always be more crap just around the corner and you might as well try to smile since crap is a universal constant....like death and taxes.
