I'm broken. Well... nearly.

It's been 2 and a half since the gout injury.  Last Friday it looked like it was finally healing.  Then another 3am gout attack Saturday morning.  Then again on Sunday.  It seemed to just move to the next toe re-activating everything.  Sunday morning I said to myself "I give up."

I had plans and they all went to shit.  Monday came along and getting to work was unbearable.  So I took work off to hopefully heal it today.  I'm not giving up.  I'm drinking over 4 litres of water today, trying to flush it out.  And I'm temporarily switching to an all vegetarian diet again.

Oh hi,

This will not break me.  I will only come back more determined.

DON'T GIVE UP AS WELL.

Take care, honey bears.

We hit gold!  Finally, after another bad day of doing the Earth quest I had some decent pulls from the daily rewards.  Watching the DEC price continually rise gives me great satisfaction in my decision to stop selling my DEC for Steem.  All hands on DEC!

SPT GOAL - 4,541/100,000
