Shared on Tue, 11/23/2010 - 09:21     Had a very nice, tho busy day, yesterday. Had the morning shopping run  to finish up. At mid-afternoon, Matt came over, and I had to bail at 3PM  for my coffee meet. (That went very nicely, BTW, tho I was pretty dang  nervous. I have still have a couple more real-life meetings to do, but I  was happy that this came off without me getting a faceful of  coffee/tea/other caffeine beverage. After sharing a coffee (tho she had a  chai latte) with a really sweet, cute gal, I dropped off my Jeep at the  dealer for them to fix a couple of problems. Matt picked me up and we  headed back for some Call of Duty: Black Ops online action.
     Also on the plus (or, rather, the minus) side, the weekly weigh-in  clocked in another 3 pounds lost. This AM, I made my spartan breakfast  surrounded by temptation - donuts from my brother's morning coffee run,  pizza from last night, cake from last night... And I moved on. I ignored  all that crap and had my usual salad and turkey dagwood. Cannot begin  to tell you what a watershed moment that is for me. I've never been able  to resist temptation well. On the contrary, I used to give in all too  easily. 
     The other night, chatting with the sweet Effie, I mentioned that I felt  like I was running out of time. I still feel that way, like Death is  always peeking over my shoulder, watching. It's like that for all of us,  in one way or another, of course, since we're all mortal. But none of  the close calls in my life have never moved me like Dr. Anti-House's  flat statement that I would absolutely die - and soon - if I didn't mend  my ways. It still makes my hair prickle when I recall the certainty in  his voice; unlike the hemming and hawing about my leg swelling, he knew  what he was about when he said that. 
So, the invalid HTML error has jacked the blog entry here again, so you can visit my blogger site for the news links, if you're so inclined. Sorry about that, but just not enough time for me to plow through news links one at time to see which is unacceptable to this fershlugginer site. Moving on...
