catching up on some r&r

had my wisdom tooth extracted yesterday.was surprising pain-free.i was eating solids right away. when din heard about the extraction, he gave me the week off cos he anticipated me not being able to eat much for a while.well i might have to call him and arrange a session with him later this week.

its been good catching some shut-eye though. last week i had five straight days of workouts and was feeling a bit of burnout in the end.

i just realised that i'm feeling much less depressed than i was a few months ago. yes a part of it has been the exercise, but a lot of it is due to hanging out with my friends and actually talking about my feelings of loss rather than bottling them up.when something so overwhelming as losing a parent happens, its a blessing to have people you can talk to.

i've finally reached my mini-goal of 75.2kg, which means i owe myself a haircut. but seeing as how the lanka trip is drawing nearer and i only have 200 bucks saved i might add it on to my reward when i reach 70 (which will be shopping for a new wardrobe).

i have to pinch myself to make sure its not all a dream.to think that five months ago i was 90.2kg and busting out of most of my clothes, all of which are now ridiculously too big.God is great and the human spirit amazing, for it can overcome any tragedy or obstacle- if you allow it to.
