so, the doctor tells me that i need to get more exercise, but everything i try to do, causes me pain. the state tells me that my license is suspended, so the next logical thing is for me to ask people for rides. everyone is more than willing to help, which is great, but i still feel bad asking all the time.

i'm a driver. i am meant to drive. sitting in the passenger seat is so frustrating. it's torture to be a passenger with someone who i asked to drive me somewhere, who drives the speed limit. it's been about 4 months now of not being able to drive, and as my car gathers in a cloud of dust in the parking lot, i get more agitated day by day.

so, in an attempt to get my mind off of it, i'm borrowing a bike to get some low-impact exercise. i figure, i can save my friends' gas (at $3.70 a gallon!) and get my sorry ass to work on my own.

so i start off this morning. turn out of the driveway to head to work, and realize that it's a bit windy. not breezy, but windy. and i'm pedaling into it. *groan* but i put the effort in, and 45 minutes later, i make it to work. my legs feel like jelly, as i haven't done anything with that much effort in months, but it feels good. i look on google.maps later in the day to find out that not only did i almost take their exact path (without consulting said map previously) but, my trip was 7.1 miles. which i guess is a lot for a first trek in at least a year.

now, only if i can keep it up.

in the past, from across multiple sites, i've had time to post, then not had time. it fluctuates... usually depending on how busy i am with life.

now, in the midst of yet another server move, hopefully my last, i've got to decide how many of the old domains to keep, how many to spend the time moving, how many i really care about. the honest answer is that i don't really care about any of them, and many, including this one, are just there to keep the name.

but, in a move like this one, i usually feel the need to update, create a new design, post a few times, just to get back into the swing of things. it's still to be decided if i'll actually keep it up, or care enough to keep it up. then again, who's reading? laugh

i wonder how long it will last this time?

so... i got tired of managing things myself... and i'm on a new server now, and since blogger is run by google, i'm back on blogger, and we'll see how things go. i lost all my old posts in blogger's system when i logged in again, but alas... i don't care. i've got hard copies of everything. the only thing to do now, is upgrade them all to a new layout format, that i have yet to create, and somehow hack blogger's archive page (again) and make things right. wee!
