The original date of this post was the 15th of September, but due to some drug related stupidity, I had to start all over again and so the date on this post is off by a little bit. 

Ok, so I am new, very, new to this whole being on the web thing.  In the past week I have bought a domain name, put up a not very good website, and then started playing around with it.  I have been trying to learn the in's and out's of webhosting.  So I came across this option for my domain and that is to add a blog to it.  I have never blogged before, but I know a lot of people out there who do, so I thought that I would give it a shot.

Recently there has been a lot of stuff going on in my life.  Most of it related to the motorcycle accident that I was in two weeks ago.  There have been a lot of changes too that have been brought on by that same incident.  It has been really, really good to have family friends around to support me.  Without them, this recovery would be a whole lot more difficult than it already is going to be. 

 One thing that I have found really difficult is the change in pace.  I went from working 60+ hours a week in the lab on my research, to sitting at home doing very little due to the limitaions placed on me by the injury and the side effects of the pain medication that I am on.  I find that when I am taking the meds it is really hard for me to focus on anything and get anything accomplished.  It takes me forever to update the website when I have just taken the meds as I also have to battle the drowsiness that they bring on.

Anyway, I just wanted to throw this out there and see what it looks like and how the blogging thing works.  I will use this to keep everyone that is interested posted on what is happening in my life, and how the recovery is going.
