A New Beginning

So it goes.... Its January and things are starting to happen again at work. After I finish off at work today I hope to pick up my book list for next years Bsc courses at UNISA. I have ITP, and I needed to be on high doses of cortisone in order to not be at risk for a stroke and other ugly things. But in May I tried a new medication, which only recently has been approved for use with ITP. Its called Mapthera. And it worked. I have been off the cortisone since June/July. However due to the cortisone and apathy I put on 20 kilograms of extra weight. I have now decided to work on losing that weight and adding muscle and fitness to my life. I have been exercising every day this week and hope to build up a routine.

Sigh. Unfortunately hateful w*nkers are frequently on blog sites. Ironically, taking the time to type out a dull insult renders the above commenter a useless twat.

Why do I have the strange suspicion that that the above two comments were written by the same person?

.. It's in words that the magic is -- Abracadabra, Open Sesame, and the rest -- but the magic words in one story aren't magical in the next. The real magic is to understand which words work, and when, and for what; the trick is to learn the trick. ... And those words are made from the letters of our alphabet: a couple-dozen squiggles we can draw with the pen. This is the key! And the treasure, too, if we can only get our hands on it! It's as if - as if the key to the treasure is the treasure! ------- John Barth, Chimera
