Hello, 2008!!
HAPPY NEW YEAR, everybody! Gary's back! It's like an All New Season of Oprah, isn't it?! I'm refreshed, revived, RARING to go! Well, in my mind, I am. Physically, i'm pretty fucking beat...not as beat as Sunday, but still dragging a bit, still dealing with a cold, though that's better, too...despite going to my throat now. I actually bought Robitussin tonight...I don't know that i've EVER bought Robitussin. Naturally, I spent a good half hour in ShopRite thoroughly analyzing the 8 different kinds, and the types and percentages of medicine IN each kind. I finally settled on the Heavy Chest Congestion & Cough one...which makes sense given both the escalating phlegm flying out of my mouth and my occasional Bea Arthur-esque voice. And can someone PLEASE tell me what ingredient exactly makes a product DROWSY or Night-time? This is imperative to know. Is ALL medicine sleep-inducing unless something NON-drowsy or "daytime" is added? I'm a complete idiot on this subject. All I know is that I feel verrrrrrrrry calm and sleepy now...was it caused by the Robitussin? Or maybe my 2-mile bike ride against northerly winds with a bag draped around my neck?
It's BECAUSE i'm sleepy, along with still being a tad scattered by Xmas-week chaos, that I really don't have some well-thought out New Year's Mantra to pass on to you, my faithful readers. I'm hoping tomorrow i'll FINALLY be back up to par and have Big Inspired Words to share...though who knows, maybe tonight's will be worthy. I think tomorrow MOST people will be getting back to "normal." Even Letterman and Leno! In the meantime, I just re-read LAST year's New Year's Day blog...dammit, I inspired MYSELF! I feel the same way this year...full of hope, energy, urgency. And that Calendar Thing I do really is something -- just hold a wall calendar in your hands and flip through it...365 days ahead of you...an entire blank slate of a year waiting to be filled in like a coloring book. I really do feel it's a simple yet powerful way of appreciating time and all of life's possibilities. And your health. That you're here and made it to another year. First thing when I woke up this morning, I said "2008!" out loud. Then hacked up some phlegm. A new year had dawned and I was alive to see it! YAY!
