That's some serious good news! (apart from the slacking in the athletic department obviously )

Day 538 here. Winter seems to be getting to me a bit; I am at my ideal weight, have finished most of the work that needed to be done around the house, a bit more pain, a bit more tinnitus, a bit of a "now what?" feeling.

Mind you, I've been on a high ever since April (when the pain subsided), and was doing the DIY with the same kind of... addiction I previously used to slug away whisky. I suppose I do have some kind of addictive personality. Also, we had one of the darkest Novembers on record, first frost outside, dreading the holidays (always had that).

Funny thing is: I realize for 100% that having a drink would not improve that temporary rut for a single second. Weird: it just doesn't seem to be a valid "option" anymore.
