another depressing day-yesterday

i wrote this yesterday and slept it on and decided it was real so i posted it. way back in 1977 a smart and wise young man named amos cheeseboro told me that whenever i wrote something in anger or depression i should sleep on it overnight before i sent it or published it. he is one of the three people i met while working in the govt. who really taught me something, the other two being susan miller and ricardo martinez. two of them are still friends and one is lost to his world.

today was just a depressing day for me if truth be told. had a tired run, didn't hit well at the range and the back was not quite better, the post office screwed up the mail again- i would guess that 4 boxes of our mail are now lost, the real estate management people want to screw up the schedule, the book club went ok , and i guess i am just tired. sometimes it is hard to just be here while the world is out there.


i should erase this now and go to bed; would like to have something decent to say. nice enough weather today. cold but clear and sunny. ran about 5 miles and gave into being tired. didn't seem worthwhile to push it as tired legs become injured legs. heart rate was 47 this morning, high but not too bad. 49 is usually the breaking point these days. when my normal morning rate was 38, then even at 43 i knew i was tired, but in truth i cannot run hard enough long enough right now to lower the rate.


six more months to waste here. it gets harder everyday, but it can be done and will i suppose.
