Gollum is on my shoulder (and not the good kind)

I haven’t been writing because I have sucked. I failed at my attempt to stay away from sweets and aside from some half-assed exercise, haven’t been redoubling my efforts like I say I should. (Planning the strictest junk food abstention on self to date around the country’s biggest chocolate-eating ritual of the year — Easter — was probably not wise….)

Then I saw this today (from runner Cloudzilla):

Before Run…

Good Gollum : “Am looking forward to my run, am going to run 8 miles today, am being positive as I know that will help”

Bad Gollum : “Haha who the hell are you kidding, you could be eating pringles and stroking poniez, just skip the run, it’s cloudy anyway and it might rain”

And I laughed. And I remembered y’all. And that, while I have Gollum on my shoulder, maybe I should kick him off and put y’all up there instead.

Thanks for inspiring. And keeping me company, regardless…
