jianantonicApparently there's a mermaid hanging out in Israel now.
This is the kind of story that could get a lot of internet traffic, and I got in early on it, so if anyone wants to stumble or digg or whatever this post, I'd really appreciate it. Thankya.
So yesterday was totally shitty. It started off alright, and I got a good amount of work done, which is always good. It started to get a little rotten when I went to the gym. I was feeling weaker than usual. I did all my normal stuff -- 12-minute cardio warmup, weightlifting rotation with all the usual weights -- but it was hard. I guess that's to be expected given my time off. Then I ran on the treadmill. Even on my worst days, I can almost always make it 30 minutes or more, but yesterday I had to stop and walk after 20. That was demoralizing. But I'll go back today and hopefully do better. I do need new running shoes, but I can't get those until my next paycheck hits the bank -- hopefully this week.
After the gym, I was trying to work on my travel schedule for the next few months, and I called McKenzie to talk about it, and it just unraveled into a really stressful, unhappy discussion. I've been in a funk over that since yesterday afternoon. Now McKenzie's in Aspen, pretty much unreachable for the next few days, except for a few minutes at night when he'll call me after work and before bed. After Aspen, he has a tournament in St. Louis for a week, so I won't see him for almost two weeks yet. I can handle being alone and taking care of myself for the three weeks that he's away, it's just that dealing with things that require a lot of discussion and joint decision making is impossible when I have such limited communication with him, and right now there are some important decisions to be made and I'm just not doing well with the stress of our present separation. But what can I do but wait it out?
Today's agenda:
write/edit more
fold laundry (this is a big fat maybe)
walk to Fred Meyer for more food, maybe a small fan for my bedroom
gym
WinCo -- can't live without Diet Sunkist any longer.
work on new website
We'll see how much of that gets done. If I'm efficient, it could all be done by 3 or 4, which would be great, but I'm not really optimistic that it'll go down that way. The only thing I really feel like doing is curling up and sleeping all day. But I won't let myself be that lazy.
Peace.
