So speedwalrus.blogspot.com has become kind of stale. I'm not updating it that often and when I do I'm only writing when there is a significant change in my health. Since I'm no longer going to receive chemotherapy it's just going to be a gradual downhill slide and that's kind of a bummer. I'll still update when things change but no one want to read "My cough got worse today." until...it doesn't.
A few folks have asked me what my plans are travel wise. To them I can only say: Not much. The past two years have been fantastic for me and travel; however, it's not really practical or safe for me to be gallivanting around the nation solo any longer. The key word there is solo. The quickness with which fatigue can set in and my susceptibility to pneumonia makes the situation unsafe and causes those close to me an undue amount of concern. If I can find someone to go somewhere with me it might be a different story, but that'll be at the discretion of my travel coordinator. Any further trips that I may make will most likely be limited in scope to the Buckeye state and not leaving for more than an overnight trip. The map to the left is a 200 mile radius from Columbus and I think I'll most likely stay within that.
Laela found a great project for me that'll keep the blog rolling and hopefully a little more interesting rather than watching it wither and die on the vine. It'll also be a great way to get a little more insight about me, what makes me tick, how and why I think like I do. If you're not careful you might learn something too. Without further ado I present blog project 2012, it's a lot like those Facebook "notes about you" games but I hope it's a little more interesting with that. It's supposed to be a 25 day project, but I don't think one day is long enough to think about some of the topics and then write about them. I'm going to try to do one a week for the next 25 weeks and publish on Mondays; although, I'm not going to publish first one until 06/12/2012. They might just be a paragraph or they might be five pages. I never know how my ramblings go. If you've got an idea for an item to add to the list, shoot it to me on twitter @speedwalrus or send me an email: speed.walrus (at) gmail dot com. I hope you find it enjoyable.
