Default Still hot - Still broke - Still happy

Miserable weather keeping me from fishing. Financial thing looking better though still suspenseful. Should know a lot more this week.

But all that is overshadowed by the growing belief that this darned ginseng is really doing it - if not curing at least improving. Doing better across the board and starting to inch back on meds. It has occured to me that I have a pretty good yardstick to measure this with too. Almost exactly a year ago I spent some time as the guest of our own Ron Hutton. I remember well what I could do and what my limits were. I need to look back at my journal to figure out what my meds were at the time but as to function I estimate that I am ten percent improved over then.

I guess it is a good week.
