School, another death in the family, and a new friend (maybe more on that later) have kept me away from this blog for longer than I had intended to stay away.
I was starting to recover from the devastating loss of my roommate, when my aunt, the one person who was there for me when my roommate passed away, had a massive stroke on Christmas Eve. She passed away on January 7th. In the midst of my grief, a friend I met on the internet reached out to me, and has helped me keep my sanity. His friendship is one of the things getting me through these rough times.
School has started again, which is also helping me to move forward, though it is still difficult for me to truly concentrate on my classes.
The good news is that I have lost the weight I had gained over the holidays - down to 249 now, and my blood pressure was 148/101 this afternoon. Energy is still way up, and I am having almost no trouble with my knees now. Seems like the D.E. is back to working again.
Well, that's all I have time for right now. I will hopefully get back to posting regularly again soon.
