Don’t get your nose out of joint.

i’m really not trying to get all chipper on you.

not many things worse than someone coming up to you and telling you how awesome their day is…or how god is really blessing them…or they’ve just hit the lotto…and your behind is sitting in some big mess that makes you feel like your life is going to hell in a hand basket.

don’t you hate it when that happens?   well…deal with it.

tomorrow…or today,  if you’re reading this on thursday…is one of the three best days of my year.   life is over-the-top better for me in every way.   no matter what else happens,  it will not spoil my day.   nothing.

why?  because yesterday (wednesday at 10:05 am,  to be precise) i got steroids shot into both of my knees.

because of how powerful they are,  i can only do it three times a year.   it takes about 24 hours for chemicals to work their way through my miserable excuses for knees…but when it does,  it is the most amazing feeling in the world!   the pain is gone.   i can get back on the treadmill.   i can use my  weight bench to do leg presses and extensions.   i can stand for long periods of time and go to sleep with no throbbing.

the steroids usually wear out after about 10 weeks,  so it’s a pretty long month-and-a-half waiting for my next round of meds…so you can bet i’m one happy camper right now!

i realize there are some moral and ethical and physical and even emotional baggage that goes along with the whole performance enhancing drug issue.   i get it.   i really do.

all i can say is that i am really,  really looking forward to some enhanced performance.

and you can call me  “Abbott A-Roid”  if you want.
