Update for all of 2013

I'm rather glad to see last year come to an end. I soldiered on in my job while stricken with serious depression and occasional anxiety attacks. Then needed sinus surgery to clear out what was a permanent sinus infection. Ended up the year with surgery to remove a kidney stone.

Either because of clearing up the physical problems, my new practice of meditation, a 150mg a day happy pill, or my sabbatical (i.e. no teaching until August), I now feel great, in fact better than I have for what seems like the last five years. I don't even need my daily naps, at least not every day.

So let's see what 2014 brings.
