lost cat to start the day and seven more miles run

up early enough to run and then found out the cat was "missing"- what does that mean? the cat was in the house somewhere, but where? turns out he broke into a closed door and hid under the night table- did it twice today as it turned out, but talk about wasting time in a little bit of a panic- one cat already put down and not wanting to be responsible for losing the other cat....

then out to run an hour later than i needed to be- turns out i was right - was doing sprints when the class came out and i had to give up the field- teacher said to me- aren't you running late today? funny--

but i did get in 20 x 100 and then ran the bike path and dirt trail around the park to get in my little 7 miles and head home. went ok and i know i should not have done sprints today, but i was curious after all of the stretching i did yesterday if it actually helped at all and it did. will keep it up i hope.

everything just takes so much longer than it should given the state of the house and having no car. but at any rate- we went off to a luncheon to say goodbye to a friend of ours and that went well. was nice getting together again and the food was even ok for a $40 lunch. then gail went off to the library and i went to run errands. soem done and some- at the phone store to top off my phone there was a class of 35 language students in line to get phones- no room for me there and i will try again on wed. or thursday. did the bank stuff and the adventure there was the "hole in the wall" machine ate my card and it took a bit to get it back. then the printer was broken and wouldn't finish the transaction. eventually i was able to get into the queue and wait through 15 people to make a deposit.

then the 1.5 mile walk home. so basically 15 minutes of errands took 2 hours and one didn't get done. i did manage to pick up a USA today on the way home for $2. got home to find the cat missing again as i mentioned before. but this time i knew where he was hiding. then did laundry and went off to the driving range. with winds blowing at 20 mph+ it went as well as it could, some good and some bad. kept up my streak of at least one shank a day-three today.

then home to do paperwork and clean out some more stuff and fold clothes to pack and have dinner. the computer was working and not working and it was hard to stay connected and eventually i gave up. can work offline and then see if i can get connected like i am doing now and then see if i can send it. what can i say?

did watch a tv show for a change and read the usa today then. another day almost over. some yanni playing in the background. running out of time to do stuff and i can see that eventually it will just get left undone.

more tomorrow.
