Tacos and Movies

Last night, I didn't write.  I didn't write the night before either.  Let me begin then.  Last night, I would normally say that I was wasting away doing nothing again, but in reality, I was spending time with my little.  She is going through a rough time, being 10 and all, and needed mom there.  I don't see that as time wasted at all.  We laughed and played and ate tacos and watched a movie.  It was a lovely evening with my Goose.  She's a good kid and I am so glad I get to be her mommy.  It was also a good thing that I had taken my meds last night, but, it made me so sleepy.  I can't even describe how tire I was, and into this morning, I didn't want to get out of bed.  I have to admit though, it was something that I needed.  The sleep that is.

The night before last, I didn't run, though I did take the dog for a little mile and some change walk.  I need to do that more often at night.  It's good for both of us.  The dog is starting to get very lonely and sad when I don't take her out.  I have to admit too, I miss my little dog too.

We strolled about the neighborhood walking and she sniffed a lot of flowers.  It was good to have her out with me.  I talked on the phone and that was nice on my walk too.  My friend that I was speaking with, gets worried when I chose to go out after dark in our area due to the amuont of bears and other woodland critters that live in the area with us.  Thankfully, my biggest fear did not come to pass (meeting a skunk).

The next night, I was glad to have taken a whole day off on purpose.  I like to sleep in on Wednesdays because I get to sleep with my love after being away for a few nights.  I miss him next to me when he's not there, so when wake up next to him, I want to enjoy those moments of being close and snuggly.  Makes me happy.

Happy Running All~

The Feeling the Day After

Image
Like many all over the world, but, especially in the United States, yesterday was a day of somber memories.  A hellish nightmare from which there was no waking up to.  The day after was a strange one, as were the days that followed.  In an instant, the world, all around me, had changed.  It brought with it the shock of an outright war against the United States.  This was so far from the reaches of my mind just a few short hours prior. To help those who don't know, let me explain a bit of back story.  In 2001, I was pretty much going nowhere fast.  I had quit two jobs, was running on borrowed money, still at home, just doing nothing and trying to get by.  And then a few things went down for me.  My little sister had joined the Navy, and she was gone in bootcamp.  I had been seeing a guy that I thought actually liked me, and then one night I called him.  He sounded so cold, to this day I can still recall it.  I knew it was over...

And Yet,

I have had so much to say for so long that I think I may just burst into a million pieces if I don't get it all out.  There is much that I have been thinking about ton these last few runs.  A lot has been going on in our world and I think it's time I took a stance and made myself heard. About 8 weeks ago, a young lady ws reported missing from Brooklyn Iowa.  Her name was Mollie Tibbetts.  On a Tuesday, about two weeks ago, a body was discovered about 11 miles away from where she was last seen, presumed to be her body.  An arrest has been made and a man has been charged with first degree murder in the case.  I am so boiling angry over this I could scream. Let me start by saying I remember watching stories like this all the time growing up about runners who went missing.  There have been a couple that have ended up headless with their heads found floating in the canal where they used to run.  This is nothing new to me in this idea of runners bei...

Perseverance: Just Keep Swimming

There are good days and then there are the days where it's a struggle to do damn near everything.  We all have days like these ones.  The coffee isn't made in the morning, your stomach is hurting from whatever food or drink you consumed sometime earlier, your job isn't as fun as you want it to be and yet you still get up.  You go make the coffee, silently scolding yourself for forgetting it the night before.  Instead of just chilling on Facebook, you notice that not only did the coffee not get done, but, in fact, neither did the dishes. This was me today.  Begrudgingly doing the dishes that I should have finished last night.  I could be angry about it, but, now my kitchen is clean and the coffee is fresh and I, not my husband, get that first cup of hot liquid warm heaven.  The smell makes you smile, the aroma is fresh and somehow soothes your mind.  Still tired, I headed back up the stairs and begin getting ready for the morning run.  Today...
