No Demise This Week

"What doesn't kill you makes you stronger"

Yes, we have all heard that old over used quote too many times. But here is the list of things that didn't kill me this week.


Sitting through an almost two hour production of a seventeenth century play, written entirely in rhyme. Only not being able to remember a single line wounded me a little. Anyone seen my memory strength anywhere? Can't remember where I left it.

Eating a delicious meal of Swedish brown beans with out soaking the beans first to "degassify" them. During the following intestional gut cramps, I would of welcomed death, but that too passed.

Getting back to my daily rigorous exercise habit. Can't be dead if you ache so much.

Being bit by the neibhors boxer dog. I did have to put my torn glove to rest tho.

The tot war of 0-Tuesday. Only my hunger for battle died.

Cleaning out the freezer for the first time. The shock of opening the door and seeing a light inside did make my K2 slam the door in shock and miss a heartbeat.

Going with out TV. Didn't even miss it. Have all the Simpsons memorized.

Reading the novel, "Life of Pi", in it's entirety in under 20 hours. One can live without eyesight.

Parent/ teacher conferences at the Jr. High school. I think it was Goosemount who longed for my non-existence then.

Meeting with a life coach. Nope, only a few small twinges there.

Yet no response from The Rock. Ok- he has to be dead not to respond to me!

Am I stronger for these things in my life? Entertained, stinky, sore, traumatized, shamed, accomplished, weaned, advised, enlightened, and dangling definitely. Can't wait for the weekend.
