it's almost thanksgiving....not that that matters.

but it's been forever since i've blogged. i can handle ten more things. it's like a to-do list. here goes:

1. the month of october took me to australia, india and portland for work. incredible to experience!

2. each time i got on a plane, i would come down with a cold a few days later. (booo!)

3. the final flight from india, coupled with extreme exhaustion, left me sideswiped with a cold, one i still have
with me three weeks after getting it. (double and triple boo!)

4. despite that, i've been steadily gymming to get stronger. exercising before work is the key.

5. did an awesome hike last weekend, longest since the surgery.

6. knee is still swollen from long-ass flight from india, so cortisone shot was had this week.

7. who knew, but cortisone screws up my periods. this has proven to be true again.

8. taking luna away to doggie paradise for thanksgiving, and will scatter milo's ashes in mendocino.

9. started working with a personal trainer to get stronger for the next surgery.

10. the ACI surgery (cartilage transplant) is the BIG ONE and it's scheduled for december 29th.

**bonus #11: must snowboard before losing the season due to surgery.

ciao!
