I went to the doctor yesterday and came home with a myriad of prescriptions. Two are for allergies– Flonase and Zyrtec– and two are for sleep– Lunesta and Restoril. I’m to try the Lunesta first, at different dosages, and keep a record of how much I took, at what time, how much I slept, how I felt the next day, etc. Then I’m supposed to do the same thing with the Restoril. Then go back to see him in a month.
Afterward, we piled my sisters’ bicycles in the back of our van and took them in a for a tune-up, as the doctor recommended exercise for my sister as well. At the bike shop, I looked around. You see, my bike is not only ancient, it’s not even really mine. It’s a hand-me down from my brother, and therefore it’s a boys bike, not suited to my frame. The brakes were going out, the frame was rusting– in short, it was quite past time to replace it. So I did.
My new bike is a shiny blue Raleigh M20. It’s a 21-speed, and is soo much nicer than my old one. It has shocks on the front wheels! My parents are paying for half, since my mom is as anxious about my losing weight as I am. I plan to go for a nice ride this evening. Luckily my helmet is a shiny blue, so I’ll match. 
School starts on the 29th. I’m not nearly ready.

New bike: excitement! I went for an exercise bike of my own as I don’t do the public exercise thing myself. When will we get your HBP thoughts? I’ve been reading your site for a little while and knew of your ginny-love, so when I read the book it made me think I should check your site as you were bound to be in heaven. Anyway, I’m babbling, I’ll relurk now.
