I’m not sure, but I think the medication I’m on has really helped me avoid this problem in recent months.

How I did it
It made me
Frustrated 
How I did it: Put on my skates and wrist guards and jumped on the bike path. Unfortunately, most of the path is "paved" (to use the word generously) in a ridiculously bad condition of gravel. It took me about 45 minutes to go 3 miles, which is barely any faster than walking. That's the last time I try rollerskating near LSU! Read how I did it…
It made me 
How I did it: I was at a dance club and an old man offered to teach me how to dance. I had a blast. He showed me basic, introductory steps to all three of these dances, and then we danced faster or with a little more fluidity. Read how I did it…
It made me
lighter (and richer) 
How I did it: I collected the books to sell in a large box. I went through them all carefully noting their condition, what was wrong with them, etc. I spent a couple hours listing all of them on the website and choosing prices, while I watched a movie. Then this morning I woke up to discover someone had already purchased one! Read how I did it…

Another load

I am loading up the car with stuff today, again! And moving things out of “my” room at home so that my parents can live there while the remodel is underway.
I have even been paring down the stuff in my new house in Baton Rouge.
success in the absence of options

There aren’t any good used bookstores in Baton Rouge that I know of, so simply being far away from my local Half Price Books has helped this out greatly. I caved in and bought a couple books a few weeks ago and then went INSANE and ordered $25 worth of books (6 books) on half.com last week, but other than that, I have been giving the East Baton Rouge Parish Library some really good business.
