All I’ll say is that the pills have taken effect. The pain is lessening. I’ve had to make frequent stops today. And I don’t want to eat anything. Thank god for modern medicine.

Ouch Ouch Ouch
Well, it was bound to happen. Between the weight gain and the beer and the crap diet the fucking gout has acted up again. I’ve got enough pills to take care of it, assuming these things still work, the expiration date was 07/2007. But it’s late and I’ve got to do something. At this hour the doctor isn’t an option.
It’s been over 2-years since the last time this acted up. I didn’t miss it at all. Now I remember why I started losing weight. Damn health issues. Started this morning as a dull ache and I was hopeful that it wouldn’t get any worse. By the time I was driving home from Muskegon it was a screaming pain.
So it’s take two pills and then one every two hours until you’re shitting sewer water. I’ve got 2 pills left and no stomach cramps yet. Here’s hoping something takes over night.
I don’t hate my body. But I do hate the way that I’ve treated it. Got to get back on the horse and make some changes.
Getting Everyone Up To Speed
We actually came home Saturday night, got home late, and slept in. After lazing around a bit on Sunday we went to see Star Trek. Tasha loved it. I thought it was an entertaining movie, but I had issues with it, as I do with every movie I see. I’m just not a movie fan. The whole time thing being my biggest peeve. Kinda annoys me that Star Trek uses that crutch as much as it does.
Monday I came home from work, felt a little off, had dinner, and was in bed by 8:00 pm.
Tuesday, yesterday… I think I sat right here and surfed until I had exhausted the entertainment potential of the internet. It took surprisingly little time. We walked the dog and took our new tennis rackets down to the courts and chased the balls around for 45-minutes. It was fun. Then I made Tasha play some Xbox360 with me. Then she watched the Red Wings.
Now that you’re up to speed, did you notice that I didn’t mention writing in there at all? It’s shameful, I know. I can’t say that I left out the writing, because I’m completely guilty of not having done anything with it since last Wednesday. Bad Ronn. Lazy Ronn. Tonight’s writing call didn’t happen. Not sure why, but I’m guilty of not calling/emailing to confirm that it was on. Ah well, perhaps we’ll get it later this week.
I finished listening to Scarlet by Stephen R. Lawhead. It’s the second book in what I believe is a trilogy. I haven’t read or listened to the first book, Hood, but I don’t feel like I needed to. Which is always a good thing. I’m a big Robin Hood fan, but some of the things I’d read about this take on the legend turned me off. Like I said, I like my Robin Hood, so I gave it a go when I found it at the library. I must say that I enjoyed it, and the historical aspects of it that I expected to turn me off, didn’t. In fact, I will probably seek out the first book and when I’m done with that read or listen to the third, Tuck. If you like Robin Hood give it a try, there have certainly been interpretations of the story that were far worse than the one that Mr. Lawhead has put together for us… and his is actually plausible.
Ok, so the above is why I don’t do reviews. Anyway, that’ll do it for tonight. Later.
Monday on the Scale #7
Stepped on the scale today and realized no gain and no loss to my weight. But the scale is acting odd. Can’t seem to calculate BMI, muscle mass, all that other good stuff I’ve been keeping track of. It just errors out. I tried four times, but faulted out each time. I’ll check the batteries and hope for better next Monday.
Peace out.
Monday on the Scale #6
Feeling better this week, but having trouble getting back on the routine of hitting the gym everyday after work. Still eating healthy and being more vigilant of fast food. Resulting in losing the 1.8 pounds I gained last week, but nothing more.
