sometimes you get what you ask for

A woman I know who caused lots of problems for me professionally and personally has died. She was only in her mid fifties. Even in her dying she caused me grief, but the most ironic part is that she has spent so many years of her life off sick, saying she could not possibly come to work, while at the same time vacationing and doing renovations. I guess she finally got what she wanted...no more work for her.

She truly suffered from significant mental illness and I was always ambivalent about her working as opposed to being paid to be off, as I believe she sometimes did more harm than good. Regardless she had a heart of gold and I know she always did her best, even when that felt very painful to me. She just had never been shown a better way and I don't envy her life. I hope she is finally free.

I'm still feeling pretty crappy, but plugging along. I had my 1year check up at the bariatric clinic today and the Dr says I'm doing great! I think so too. Also, I rode my bike again! I'm really loving riding.
