In like a Lion & out like a Lamb?

There is an old saying that if March comes "In like a Lion, it'll go out like a Lamb". Well I certainly hope so. I had thought that winter was getting behind us, but No, that couldn't be the case as today's weather indicates...snow...snow...snow and now more snow perdicted for later in the week (Lake Effect)...ahhhh the joys of living in Central New York.

I need to get busy on a number of issues and a number of fronts. So many tasks to do, that I tend to procrastinate writing lists of things to do and then revising them, so that in the end nothing gets done. High on that list now is finding affordable Health Insurance - How's that for a paradox? "Affordable Health Insurance"...the COBRA Coverage will run out come April 30th, so I have two months to find something or go without. Last year I spent about $4100 on Health/Dental Insurance, who knows what an individual policy will cost me. And being 50, soon to be 51, it is a long time till I'm 65 and eligible for Medicare...if it is even there when I get there.

Then there is the Doctor and his efforts to get me to lose weight and so forth...unfortunately at my last visit (early Feb) everything went up...blood sugar, cholestrol, blood pressure...and so on...not the direction one wants to be headed in, especially if one is without Health Insurance. I need to get off my butt and increase my activity levels...then maybe I'd lose weight or something. He (the Dr.) wants me to walk 5 miles a day, every day, unless there is a thunderstorm...ever try walking through snow clogged streets and unshoveled sidewalks? Beside I need to show some progress since I see him again in May.

Ahhh to be young, a kid again "If I knew then what I know now" so many, many things would be different I'm sure. So if that is the case why not just make the changes now? Because back then we were carefree, now we have responsibilities to ourself and others...I need to rebel....throw offf the yoke of RESPONSIBILITY and become carefree and reckless, with out regard to how things look or the impact they'd have on others sighhhh. Hmmmm...maybe I'm in the midst of a mid-life crisis. Of course if I were I wouldn't think I was nor think I might be so then I guess I'm not and I'm just plain old me...boring me...

I think I'll go back to me lists now...
