Burn this Judas of a Body

My neck was so painful last night that it actually woke me up, twice. The mouth doctor had my head pushed back at a bit of a stressful angle getting a good look at the face fungus (what my coworker calls it), and I guess that plus too much computer time took its toll. In sleep.

I would dearly love to trade in this body for a newer model. Not a prettier or a sexier or a skinnier one; no, I'm fine with how I look (although I might scrape some of that second chin off if I had the choice).. what I want is a body that works. What am I going to be like at 86 if I'm like this at 26? I don't think I'll make it that far. I don't think I'll want to. And that's a sad, sad thought.

I have a whole list of things I need to (start to) do every day. It goes something like this:

knee exercises
neck/shoulder exercises
Pilates
clean a corner or a room
eat 5-7 servings of fruits & veggies
take vitamin
do something creative
learn something new

Every day! Cripes. Being a responsible, healthy adult is hard. Am I the only one who thinks that?
