Now that I have time to breathe again...

It's my lunch break, which is one of my favorite times of the day.  I love my job and I look forward to coming to the office most days, but lunch time is my chance to forget that I work for someone else for sixty minutes.  It's a chance to relax, to smell the proverbial coffee (sounds like some new Stinkbucks flavor, actually).

And now, I think, I have finally reached the lunch break of my life, or at least my life as it currently exists.  I think I've finally reached a point of stabilization, which is odd considering how rapidly things are changing for me and my family.

Fighting fire with fire (almost literally!)

I have discovered the cure for what ails me.  For those who haven;t been listening, that ailment is acid reflux.  The cure?

Acid.

No, not LSD.  But, yes, acid.  Now, I know that it goes against the laws of physics, nature and Sweden to combat acid with acid, but it's true.  And it makes sense.

A gut-wrenching decision?

Does it sound worse than it is?  For you, maybe.

Here's the good news: I think I figured out why I could be outpaced by a sloth these days.  Why I arrive at work feeling like I just went ten rounds with Tyson (except my ears are still attached).  Why from the moment I wake up, all I want to do is go to bed.  Why the only thing I do well these days is toss and turn.

B12.

As in, the vitamin.  It's not some new, top-secret bomber the air force has been working on, although bombers and the condition in question do have napalm-esque, searing pain associated with them.

Nexium!

I like one-word paragraphs.

Resolving with...uh...resolve!

In the immortal words of Austin Powers, "allow myself to introduce...myself."

I am Mike.  Many of you know me -- and, by "many", I mean three out of the four of you.  For those who don't, and for those who do, allow me to tell you about the Me I Intend to Be in 2012.
