I am sorry I’ve been away for a couple of weeks.  In my last post, I wrote about how it was the anniversary of my father’s passing away.  During this time of year, I always tend to get a little melancholy and really have to struggle to bring myself back from that dark place.  But that is only a portion of the reason for my absence.

Besides being a little down, I also started my first math class in ohhhh about 10 years or so?  In five weeks, we’re covering everything from simple prime numbers to quadratic equations to geometry to statistics and interest rates.  In otherwords, we’re covering in five weeks what originally was taught to me in 5 years.  Its been a little insane and difficult.

Things have been good for me otherwise.  Work is still going strong and I am really working hard to make some positive changes in my diet and lifestyle.  So far the fruits of my labor has equated to at least 10 pounds lost and a HUGE boost in energy.  I feel the best I have in years and my next step, now that I’ve conquered my diet, is to conquer my lack of exercise.  Due to limited funds, everything has to be done in steps but already I am feeling the difference!
