The storms….AUGHHHH! The storms used to be occasional and unexpected, now they are almost predictable! The biggest issue I have to face on a fairly regular basis is “Am I willing to physically pay for my choices?” Sometimes the answer is unequivocal…YES! And so…. I cannot complain about how my body is revolting to last week’s amazing Nude Nite. Used to be I would have a 50/50 shot of coming through unscathed, now not so much! On the backside of a BP "lockdown" spike which does seem to be sliding back down into “my” normal range but still nursing a nasty cold that came on precisely at the 7 to 10 day viral incubation period that apparently is the result of the steroids compromising my immune system. So, some shake their heads and ask why would I risk it? Because it is who and what I am, and Nude Nite is an amazing annual celebration of the human body and I might not get another chance to be a part of it. Some things are worth the storms, they make me stronger by reminding me of who and what I am. That is what the storms are about!
