quiet

it's been quiet at livej lately. maybe everyone's as enthralled with the new tv season as i am? somehow i doubt that...i'm seeing an acupuncturist later today for my back--my first time trying this. i'm open to it, so i think it can't hurt (no pun intended).i'm really excited with all the feedback i've been getting form my latest column in the local paper. lots of emails from other survivors, as well as old friends i haven't talk to in ages. and tomorrow is my three-year anniversary, so i'm really happy about that. last night on er there was a whole thing about a woman who had the BRACA2 test done, and she was contemplating a double prophylactic mastectomy and ovarectomy. and i thought, "a ha! now maybe some of the people who know me and think i was nuts for doing what i did will realize why i did it!" of course, i'm sure THOSE people probably don't watch er, but nonetheless...next weekend is our fifth wedding anniversary. time goes by so fast! hard to believe it's already been five years, it feels like we just got married and bought this house. speaking of the house, i think we finally completed all of the major outside projects. we just got the patio cover painted, so now we're set. this winter, we plan to tackle the extra bathroom, but we've been talking about doing that for four years now. i started running again at the park. i figure the softer ground should help take some of the impact out. i've been doing a walk/run thing where i walk for 15 minutes and run for five for an hour total. so far, so good. i just want to take it slow, because my tendency is to goo all out and end up injured. but the great thing is it isn't making my back any worse, and my leg is fine now. and i stopped taking vicodin, so now i'm just on tylenol, which i'm starting to ween off of, too. once i can stop taking the tylenol pm at night, i should be good to go.oh, i'm having lunch with a friend today at caf baf...maybe i'll see gunther!
