a cure? for me?

Due to unusual circumstances, which tend to define my life, I found myelf visiting a chiropractor. I've been out of whack all of my adult life. After looking at me, measuring me and doing general check-up stuff, she seems to think she can re-align me.

All my life, I feel like people have not seem me, but rather my awkward posture, my crooked neck. They would call me "crooked" behind my back. I always pretended that it never bothered me, but it did. It was like I was not even anything beyond one physical abnormality, almost like the way cruel people pick on the handicapped.

To some extent, this problem has always made me self-conscious. I felt that because I was so abnormal, people would judge me based on that. I'm pretty sure I was right, but it also help me become the bitter, hateful person I am today. But now I am told it can be fixed.....and I don't know what to think. In the next year, everything that made me feel bad about myself id going to be fixed. What then?

infectious waste of time

I've been really sick this past week. So sick I went to the doctor...again. He believes it's a viral infection that has laid me low this time. I don't recall feeling this bad in a very long time. It doesn't help that one of the symptoms is a sore throat, which is by far one of the most irritating things in my life. It has really taken the wind out of me. I missed a week of school and two days of work. Even as of today, I have no energy to speak of and I haven't been able to work out at all.

On the workout front, Robyn has noted interest in going to the gym with me. This could be a good thing, a real change in how we spend time together. Instead of going out to eat somewhere unhealthy, we could go exercise and get a light meal. Neither of us are happy with our current shape, and if we were as committed to working out as we are to spending time together, we'll be in shape in no time flat.
