surprises CAN be good!

ya' know, sometimes just gotta put one foot in front of the other.

Went straight home yesterday, no, I don't learn from past mistakes (you CAN be both cynical AND an optimist!). Spike sleeping, Sybil sleeping. Spike awakens Sybil so It can make It's almighty meeting. No, don't spend anytime with what couldn't in any wild delusion be defined as "The Family," rather, convince others of your need to be needed. Ok. And yes, the house is filthy. Couldn't take it anymore, changed the sheets. Nowhere, other than here would that be noteworthy. Yes the Christmas tree is still up, yes, a life-sized Santa is still in the living room looking like a drunken sailor hanging off a chair, and yes, the Christmas lights are still up. Vile.

For the sake of my conscience, hadda to go home. Knowing Sybil would abuse one of the rare nights It's home to attend to It's selfish needs (you DO have a child, remember???), I must know Keith knows an adult is present. Can't handle It's bs on the phone to her groupies taking everyone's inventory, meanwhile living in filth.

Yes, should'a gone to spinning, really missed it. ANYWHERE but Toxichouse. But being a parent means being there.

So.....did St.Francis. Weather predicted rain (DAMN!!!) lots n' lots of it. Woke up, got outta bed, zipped out p.d.q. Got my run on, yo. Felt good, knew I would. Beautiful day-shorts n' long sleeves. What a scene: sun streaming through the trees, wow. Thoughts of our unit's "Lose big/win big" committee in my head. They've been together for 4 weeks and all they can do is plan meals. Jeeeeez. I don't get it. First thing that comes to mind when hastening wellness is what you can stuff in your mouth??? Really good motivation for a great run though. After the softball fields on the way back, run into David. He actually yelled out in joy/surprise (not a well person). He's really a trip. Got all sorts of ideas re: what the club should do. GREAT for my pace. Kept reminding him "dude, DECAF."



...so it goes.........
