Enjoying all that 2011 has to offer...

I had been anticipating 2011 for months.  With a New Year's Eve wedding to get things started, I had huge expectations for an exciting year.  Excitement I certainly got, but not exactly thing kind that I was looking for.  I've listed the following incidents in bullet form because, honestly, it is an impressive list.

• January 1 - Woke up the morning after my wedding with food poisoning.
• January 3 - Back to school (okay, so I knew that what coming)
• January 8 - New husband rupture artery in leg riding a bucking horse
• Spend night in ER
• January 9 - Moved to ICU
• January 10 - Still in ICU
• January 11 - Moved to regular room.  I make 9PM run to pharmacy to get Maximum Musinex so that I can ward off the sinus infection that I feel coming.
• January 12 - Released from hospital and goes home with mother so she can take care of him ALL DAY.  Bless her heart.  He owes her.   I am unsuccessful in self-medication attempt.  Schedule doctor appt.  Cheeks so swollen even 800 of ibprofen  does not provide relief from pain and pressure.
• January 13 - Diagnosed with first sinus infection of the year.  I will be keeping a 2011 tally.
• January 14 - Go to Huntsville to relieve mother in law from nursing duties.  Forget prescription.  Forced to self medicate again.
• January 18 - Get elbowed in the face spotting in practice.  Immediate swelling occurs.  One hour later, bruising has commenced.  It's gonna be a pretty one.

Here's the good news, also in bullet form but only because I like things to match.

• My injury is completely superficial.
• Yvan is getting healthy and should be able to ride again in four weeks.
• I have four more weeks without worry and anxiety.
• Tests show that I have a very good RMR.  If you ask me to explain what it is, I will just repeat what Google told me.
• The Banks' are gonna make me skinny with this phenomenal diet plan!
• I did an Insanity workout and didn't die.
• Yvan and I are looking at houses to buy so we can get out of Chateau Crap.
• I have this amazing support system that extends beyond my phenomenal family and friends, to include coworkers, my gymnasts and their families, and others that I barely know.  

With all of the craziness that this year has brought, there has always been an ear to talk to, a shoulder to lean on, or arms to cry in.  If that is what 2011 has to offer, its gonna be a good year.
