After 6 months of being off the chemo, I decided I needed to started back on it again.
Knowing that using a low dose methotrexate regimen is effective in controlling my psoriasis, I’m not so apprehensive about going back on it. Actually taking a break from it isn’t all that bad either.
Psoriasis is not curable and I’ll always have it – knowing that there is a treatment that does make it tolerable is a good thing.
Now to stay positive – I’m going to go ride tonight, even if it is for a half an hour (something is better than nothing). I’ve decided not to ride the Seattle to Portland this year, perhaps 2011, all depends.
My goals for this year:
1) Loose 40 lbs
2) Complete the conversion of my DVD collection to my home server
3) Repair and ready my trikes for the 2011 riding season
4) Ride at least 3000 miles this year will mostly be “self guided” tours around Oregon. Being on the chemo, I do have to be careful of who and what I’m around – don’t need to get sick!
Even though I’m not planning to ride in the Seattle to Porltand this year, that doesn’t mean I need to stay away from riding all together.
I have my Polar heart rate monitor working, all geared up, the trike mounted on the trainer ready to ride (honestly, it’s been ready to ride since August – just not have been in the mood).
At 221 lbs, I’m done and need to get moving – Monday here I come!
Last year around this time I put together my “Q”, a 700c ICE Qnt with mechanical mirrored disc brakes, SRAM carbon components, ICE hard shell seat. I really enjoyed the process of finding the parts, putting it together, and riding it.
The questions begs to be asked, do I need to have two trikes?
I still own the Micro and need to make repairs to it after my roll over during the Seattle to Portland.
During my riding season, I found that I remain faster on the Micro.
If I were to sell the “Q”, what would be a fair price for it? I might considered $3500 (can you tell my heart isn’t really into the thought of selling it?) Now if someone were to offer me cash, I would probably consider it.
Well, Wordpress 2.9 is out, it actually came out on the 19th – after getting my header the way I like it, I feel no need to be out on the cutting edge… I will dabble with the beta releases once in a while, especially if there are new features that will make managing my blog easier.
I took the plunge, upgraded, and, drum roll, all is working!
About two weeks ago I decided to ditch the phone line and just keep my DSL. All seemed fine (the phone disconnected, DSL still running) until Monday morning… NO DSL… augh!
Good thing I work with a great ISP. I ordered a stand alone DSL – the bad news was that it’s due date was scheduled for Friday the 20th.
Throughout Monday however, my ISP received updates moving the due date to much sooner.
Here comes today… up and running!
