I confess:

• I am a Chobani and Smart Water addict.

Happy New Year, friends!  See what happens when I don’t have to work?  Eight posts in two weeks…Tomorrow it’s back to figuring out how to balance it all…back to the grind.  I’m looking forward to seeing my kids, and hearing all about their breaks.

1.  Medical Stuff:

• I got my HOT, new compressions stockings and socks.  It only took me a couple of months, but my “compression collection” is now complete for the year.  Thank goodness for insurance.  Those suckers are expensive.

It’s tradition!  Here are our annual reflections…

Did you keep your new year’s resolutions, and will you make more for next year?

Brad-My 2013 resolution continues to be to exercise consistently, even when life gets busy.

Katie- I like to make goals to work towards instead of resolutions.  I accomplished over half of the goals I set in 2012.  I made 50 more goals for 2013.  I carried some over from 2012.

It’s been eight weeks since the last round, so it was back to Indiana today for more prolotherapy.  Just recently I have had some upper rib/neck pain on my right side that has been waking me up at night, so I was eager to see what Dr. Cantieri thought, and if he would be able to treat it. 

I believe in working towards goals rather than making resolutions.  So here it goes…My top 50 goals for 2013:

1.  Make Life as a Zebra Foundation a 501 3c.
2. Raise more than $12,500 at our Invisible Illness Benefit on April 13, 2013 for Ehlers-Danlos National Foundation, National Dysautonomia Research Foundation, and Vasculitis Foundation.
3. Obtain sponsorship for the benefit.
