Howdy to all who remember me. Salutations to the newbies. I'll skip the background info just 'cause it doesn't feel too relevant to this post. Suffice it to say I'm one of them jaded old-timers. The only thing meaner than phobia is burn-out? ? ?

    I did the dumbest thing today.  I charged my earbuds, unplugged the block and put the block in my little bag instead of the earbuds.  I wasn't happy about that when I got to the gym.  What a dummy!

    Ever since I stopped doing therapy because of insurance, I've been feeling that old tense and irritable sense of anxiety and stress. I hate that. I was making so many strides and changes during therapy, my therapist would acknowledge all of my progress and accomplishments, and I miss that reassurance. Today I thought about it, and I made those changes! She would always tell me that I chose to...
