Not much has changed


My weight is about the same. I haven't really started a diet and exercise program. The holidays make it somewhat difficult, but I've done a great job of controlling it, and taming my hunger. So, it looks promising as I go into the planned diet and a new job.

I went two weeks without meds for my psoriasis and boy was that fun. I hadn't paid for my insurance yet, and when I sent them a check, it took a while to go through, so I was without coverage for a while. This meant my medicine would have cost about $200 that I did not have. Anyways, short story is, I've been through some of the worst pain in my life. It feels like the world's worst indian burn. It covers about 15-20% of my skin, and it's in the worst places. The waist is probably the most painful, as my pants are the tightest there. I won't go into details. Suffice it to say it's also the most humiliating and depressing experience of my life.

Let's not mention the fun of trying to exercise when it hurts to move. Most exercise, I've found, causes your pants to rub your waist. Not good.

However, I am trying to remain strong. I met a girl who seems nice, but I haven't gotten to go back to her work and see her again. The holidays. We didn't really hit it off or anything, but she was nice to talk too. Not a lot of joy in talking to a girl in my condition, but maybe if she's around in half a year or so, assuming I make some progress with this stuff.

I'm looking forward to a job starting soon, ColorSpot Nurseries. Should be right down my line. I don't know if I mentioned it before. That starts officially on New Year's Day. I don't know if we're going out that day or not. Should be fun either way. I like getting out. Only, it's supposed to keep raining, so that may keep us in simply with nothing to do. Probably a good day to learn some paperwork.

Anyways, I promised I'd keep some updates on my condition and depression, so that was it.

PS. I am still planning to get in to backpacking, but right now that seems physically impossible. I'm giving these meds about another week before the doctor gets a real angry "We're gonna do something more drastic right now!" call. I'll let you all know.

I Am A: Neutral Good Half-Elf Ranger

Neutral Good characters believe in the power of good above all else. They will work to make the world a better place,
and will do whatever is necessary to bring that about, whether it goes for or against whatever is considered 'normal'.

Half-Elves are a cross between a human and an elf. They are smaller, like their elven ancestors, but have a much shorter
lifespan. They are sometimes looked down upon as half-breeds, but this is rare. They have both the curious drive of humans
and the patience of elves.

Rangers are the defenders of nature and the elements. They are in tune with the Earth, and work to keep it safe and healthy.
