No News is Good News

Terry asked me a few days ago if I had posted to the blog, and I said I had nothing to report, so no new...reports.  Funny how that works.

We've had a very busy last 6 weeks--highlighted by Terry's daughter's wedding , so I've not made any progress on the dental work to help me get a new set of lower choppers.  That will change soon.

But over those weeks, I've continued to struggle with simple food consumption and still get fatigued from the added chewing and swallowing effort at meals before I get full--so I've added to my dependency on Boost and other similar products.  Trying to maintain my weight is difficult, but it's good that wine, ice cream and bourbon have a lot of calories in them--otherwise I'd weigh about 140 pounds right now. Yogurt remains a staple in my diet, and gets me through a lot of mornings in my office and afternoons when I get home--before nap time.

As of today, I am less than 50 days from retirement at Georgia State.   Hard to believe, but it's going to happen on December 15th--my last work day, and then officially on January 1.  Some people have asked me if I'm going to miss it, and my reply is that "I already don't miss it!"   Bring it on, I say.
