Fall

Jenny and I go for actual run this morning after long hiatus, probably because this is the first day that actually have to work up a sweat. Have recently discovered that one lap around park is 0.8 miles, which round up to one mile, so that after 4 laps feel very well worked out indeed. So does Jenny, who right when we get home laps up entire contents of bowl, eats dry food with gusto, and then jumps up on top of bed, where Dave is still sleeping. As have chugged coffee and bowl of organic bran flakes, am equally enthusiastic (though hope did not make same alarming snuffling and chomping noises as Jenny made during her repast) and when Jenny jumps on bed, I say in bright voice, Up and Adam, lazybones! Dave pulls pillow over his head. Jenny thinks this is a game. She takes corner of pillow in her mouth and then tosses her head, growling, but her tail wagging friskily. Dave is not pleased. Thankfully, leave soon after, and day continues to be breezy, brain free from usual clutter of worry, unfounded fantasies, tiresome songs of the earworm variety, calculations of future financial disaster (or opposite) and so on. Am in such a good mood, even feel that have banished difficult thoughts forever.

Congratulations on yer excellent day. It's not so improbable that you've banished the "usual" difficult thoughts. You can control what you worry about, and if you decide that you're tired of some particular worry, at the very least you can replace it with something else. I say: Bring on the less-guilty, dynamic, less-worrisome worries of the future. Or go dancing!

I always feel very optimistic in the fall, because I don't have to go back to school anymore!

Thirty-year-old Secretary? that's boring and typical. what about 30 year old construction worker. 30 year old mad. 30 year old white male. 30 year old manager. blahblahblah. it's not witty or unique. im not a person who hates on anything, but come on, by more creative and use A brain cell. it probably doesnt even take TWO brain cells.

Who the fuck are you anonymous? Maybe you should proofread your comment before you start telling people they lack brain cells. And really, “blah, blah, blah?” Why don’t you try to “by more creative” with your insults?
