    -Wake up before 6:30
    -exercise daily
    -go to dance at at least twice a week (thurs and sat)
    -yoga at least once a week
    -Pilates at least 3 times a week

    that is to say, maintenance visit accomplished!

    I saw the allergy specialist today for routine follow-up & prescription renewal. He changed the dose & schedule for my allergy toxin vials & prescribed some new medications that he hopes will work better for me than the current ones are; he also gave me prednisone to treat the terrible case of poison ivy/oak I’ve been dealing with.

    I’ve already scheduled the next visit – six months from now – so I’ll consider this done. smile

    I saw the migraine specialist today for routine follow-up & prescription renewal.

    He found no problems needing attention & I’ve already scheduled next year’s visit, so I’ll consider this done. smile

    well this is a test of that…

    i have two massivly broken teeth and creeping to an apointment to have my face fucked up. its funny how its got to get worse to get better..

    normally this is when i wont eat and my heath and well being goes ot shit. you are in pain your primal reaction is to lay there and…die..
    so i have been eating and drinking weather i tastes like carboard or not. and trying to maintain some form of sleeping habit. ..
    not stress too much eventhough shit keeps happening but im keeping up on things…i would love a thick steak right now but ill settle for mushy raisin bran… but it will help the …lower area not bung up…

    this self care thing aint so bad…lots of baths and books and video games. i dig it. but right now holding up strong. trying to take care



    Week 4... 2 weeks ago

    This is the final week of scheduling tasks for taking care of myself. After this week, I will have covered all aspects of my body. The schedule for week 4 is as follows:

    • Sunday – body: hands
    • Tuesday – body: feet
    • Thursday – reward: teeth whitening

    The professional assistance that I need to seek for this week are to visit a manicurist and pedicurist. In terms of previous weeks, I have made an appointment with the dentist but I still need to get my hair cut.



    No beer for me...at least not more than one ;-) 2 weeks ago

    The first aspect I want to focus on is reducing my alcohol intake. I am a little afraid that my social environment isn’t going to take it very well. I hope I will stay strong :-)
    I don’t mean to be a tea-totaller. I will drink a glas of sparkling wine when it’s someone’s birthday, but no heavy cocktails or beer for me for now.
