Getting Real

I blog regularly on Sparkpeople.com.  I try to keep up with this blog venue as well, but as you know sometimes life gets int the way.  I like blogging and some folks like reading what is on my mind and what I have to say.  That still surprises me.

Well this morning was supposed to be a training run morning.  Then I had the bright idea to go out and try a practice 5k.  Well they both didn't work.  Not only I missed getting up for my practice run, I didn't have enough time to get over to the 5k that I signed up for yesterday.  I overscheduled myself yesterday on my off day.  Trying to run around and get stuff taken care for next week's road trip, I stayed up after getting off work at 6:40 am, ran around from pillar to post and basically exhausted myself to the point that when I crawled into bed around 6:00 pm last night, it took me a long time to relax and fall to sleep. I did a complimentary strength training session yesterday(yes with that little sleep) and she wore me out.  I felt every other muscle twitch and strain and woke up with an even more swollen left hand.  Well the Dr. told me yesterday that I do not have raging arithitis like the nurse practice tried to spook me with, it is just muscle inflammation, overuse from my job and this new training program I am doing.  So no new drugs to get and thankfully I can say with use hopefully my soreness will subside.

My Nikon cool-pix camera is dead, hard to charge the battery and I can't upload on my computer.  I want to start visually documenting my adventures here in KC since this is home of choice right now.  My Samsung cell phone is making me weary because I can't have a lot of the apps I want on there without the phone telling me I have low storage.  I really do not want to invest in another cellphone at this time, especially since I have some cool cases for my galaxy prevail, but I am frustrated with this low storage crap message that keeps popping up.   I want to make good sound decisions, especially since I am driving home next week.  Oh well, it is always something.  When live gives you lemons, make sweet lemonade out of them...my drug of choice.  And yes, use pure cane sugar in the lemonade-stepping out on the wild side!
