I don't know where to start.  Life is decent.  I'm about to tell you why.  How's that for an introduction?

I've been going to the gym almost every day.  I use the elliptical and the weight machines for abs, legs, and arms/shoulders.  I can feel a difference in the way my clothes fit and have lost eight pounds.  I'm told you can see a difference.  It doesn't seem like much for all the effort I've put in but I do realize that I'm gaining muscle which weighs more than fat.

I had a scare with my cat, Kitty, yesterday.  She found her way into my medication, particularly the blood pressure medication I take for migraines.  I rushed her to the vet where they tried (unsuccessfully) to induce vomiting, then gave her some activated charcoal to absorb what, if any, medication she ate.  They recommended close observation of her heart and respiratory rates.  Once we were home she successfully vomited and stayed very close to me.  She was running around the apartment, playing with our other cat, when I woke up.  She is purring again as usual and has normal (as far as I can tell) heart and breath sounds.

I had a migraine a couple weeks back.  It had been a long time since I had one and when I moved to town I got a new neurologist so when I realized what I was having was a normal migraine I just did what I always did, take my PRN migraine medication.  When it didn't work I went to the emergency room and when they weren't able to help I made an appointment with my neurologist.  She was MAD.  I had taken my PRN migraine medication six times and been to the ER three.  She said I should have only taken the PRN migraine medication twice and called to be given steroids ASAP.  This was news to me.  I have never taken steroids for a migraine until now.  Now I know.

Now I don't know how to end this...end.
