I came to help restore your pluck

Ack. I have to speak tonight at a professional group and of course I'm not very well prepared and my allergies decided to fight with me yesterday. So, I went to the doctor to get drugs this morning. He gave me a shot and some nasal spray and decongestants. I had to do another cholesterol test to see if that was coming down and I'll be damned if that phlebotomist or whatever she's called did stab the needle through my arm. It stll friggin hurts 90 minutes later.

So, hopefully I can make it through my presentation tonight and sound relatively intelligent and offer something of value to the audience. I'm talking about blogging. Stop laughing, seriously. I'm not sure why anyone there will care, but that is what they asked me to talk about. So, I'm going to give it a shot. Speaking of shots, my hip hurts now, too.

But, I lost a few more pounds. That was nice to see on the scale. Since just before Labor Day, I've now lost about 10 pounds. Since Fourth of July, the weight loss is about 15 or 16 or so. Woo hoo.
