general update... the sneezier, snifflier, more muscular me.

[misterx]

Since LJ has been on the blink for the last few, a lot of stuff didn't get posted. So this will be be long yet short. Perhaps "brief but many" would be a good way to put it.

Right now, status is that I've been sick for two days. Cough, stuffed up head and sinuses, bad headaches. I can breathe if I take enough drugs to make me woozy. I've not slept well... slept on the couch last night, and half the previous night, because laying flat is miserable.

I know... how about cheese to go with that whine...


On the upside:
- Kept my workout schedule going, though I couldn't lift as much
- Cleaned out the gutters yesterday, and then today got out the ladder and remounted them entirely. Water doesn't flow uphill, something the original builder wasn't clued to.
- Working out while you are sick sucks ducks. But I looked in the mirror: I am buff!
- Reality check: Well, not exactly, but I'm improving. I've lost 12 lbs so far, and probably more fat than that since I've gained muscle as well. I'm down a pants size. The change is visible with clothes on, and even more noticable without, and all that pleases me.
- Various and assorted mental struggles haven't killed me yet :)
- Rob Brezsny says: "Have faith that the best way to build your prosperity is to cultivate your generosity." ... I'm trying, Rob, I'm really trying.
- I got offered a job as a full time photographer. Unfortunately, the drive, hours, AND pay were all worse, and it wouldn't have been workable. I had to turn it down. But it felt good that they offered.
- Got some nice comments on my photos from a guy who used to do professional photojournalism in NYC and had his own studio there. Kewl.
- I put polyamory back on my interests list.

Does vegging in front of the computer count as rest? If so, I'm going to be reeaally well rested.

I'm rather curious about your experiences with polyamory, and I don't mean explicit details or anything graphic, but if it's something you wouldn't mind sharing sometime I'd love to hear your perspective. It sounds to me like there's a story arc in your back history, but I don't know what it is. If it's something you'd feel more comfortable not discussing, that's cool too, since I'm the nosy sumbich here.

I don't mind, but your question is too general. Ask me something more specific so I know which direction to start rambling in.

[rathgrith.livejournal.com]

Do we get to see pictures of the newer, buffer you? ;-)

[misterx.livejournal.com]

I'll have to think about that one. Maybe when I'm buffier. Or less shy. ;)
