I was barely able to walk on Tuesday, taking painkillers three times on campus. Driving to and from campus increases the pain dramatically.\u00a0Maybe the pain would decrease if I were in better shape. I need to exercise. I also need to eat less junk food. The more I hurt, the more I struggle. I get tired and then I nibble late and night while working on school things.<\/p>\n<p>If I could lose ten pounds, that would be great. But, exercising through the pain isn\u2019t easy. Catch-22, I realize.<\/p>\n<p>I\u2019m taking the week off from audio production. The podcast is important to me, and something I want to get back on track during this break and the winter break. Though I have uploaded episodes to iTunes and the podcast hosting service, we have not been able to keep up with the transcription.<\/p>\n<p>Season Two podcast episodes available:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/autisticme.libsyn.com\/daniel-sansing-on-autism-disclosures\">Daniel Sansing on Autism Disclosures<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/autisticme.libsyn.com\/heather-conroy-of-evolve-coaching\">Heather Conroy of Evolve Coaching<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/autisticme.libsyn.com\/missing-obvious-health-signs\">My Thoughts on Missing Obvious Health Warning Signs<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/autisticme.libsyn.com\/dayna-goldstein-on-houses\">Dayna Goldstein on Houses and Spaces<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/autisticme.libsyn.com\/joe-farrell-of-evolve-coaching\">Joe Farrell of Evolve Coaching<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/autisticme.libsyn.com\/reflecting-on-three-years\">Reflecting on Three Years as a Parent<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/autisticme.libsyn.com\/dayna-goldstein\">Dayna Goldstein<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/autisticme.libsyn.com\/bobby-roma-part-2\">Bobby Roma Part 2<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/autisticme.libsyn.com\/bobby-roma-part-1\">Bobby Roma Part 1<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/autisticme.libsyn.com\/grayson-rumsey\">Grayson Rumsey<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Please <a href=\"https:\/\/itunes.apple.com\/us\/podcast\/the-autistic-me-podcast\/id1367679985?mt=2\">subscribe on iTunes<\/a> and post a review if you enjoy the podcast and would like to hear more. Also, I need guests and topics to keep expanding.\u00a0If The Autistic Me attracts more readers and listeners in the future, maybe I\u2019ll find a magical way to monetize the effort. Even more public appearances would help. Without additional income, the blog and podcast dent our bank accounts each month. I tell myself the cost is justifiable and hope that\u2019s not self-delusional.<\/p>\n<p>This week,\u00a0I need time to catch up with grading and my teaching responsibilities. If I felt better, I\u2019d be spending more time with my family\u2026 but in pain, it is best that I not be around anyone.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Happy Thanksgiving to everyone who reads this blog and follows the podcast.
