o.

and i've lost 27 pounds since i left SF.

which, equates 3 inches from around my neck. 4 inches from my bust [this is fine. this is fine. this is fine.]

and... yeah... substantial inches from other, substantial, places.

wow.
if anybody wants to buy me something for Christmas...

i want running socks.

runners get blisters in strange places.

they don't really hurt... but, i mean... if i can avoid them, why not?

seamless marathon running socks.

i'm sure that should be hyphenated but it is my damn blog and i hate the hyphen today.

...

running 7 miles friday got rid of that horrible headache.



it has been pouring rain since 11 last night. a cold one, too. my favorite is when bear dog stares up at me pathetically while we're both getting drenched ... because, if he'd just DO HIS BUSINESS... we'd get to go in. but no. he has to plead with me. with those sad, brown eyes.

jack, of course, sleeps in until 11.

...

i've been contemplating my obsession with time lately. i feel (and have felt) that my time on Earth is more limited than anyone else's. hehe.

but, really. because my mother died so young... i feel this pressure to have certain things "checked off" by certain ages.

this offends my friends.

it is truly ME. though. to say "i am 36 years old and i don't have a ....."

you know.

lately.

i think i'm 38 all the time.

what is that?

...

i want to leave the country for a while.

RIGHT NEW BIOLOGY on barnes & noble.com


that's pretty cool to see. i don't think there really is a hardback version, though...

**

i've had a temporal headache [?] over my left ear since late last night. it is quite painful, when it flares. i was hoping to get my 7 mile run in today, since it is supposed to rain tomorrow... but i'm a little concerned about this pain.

my eyes have been blurry at work, too. i think maybe i need new reading glasses...

hmn.

stress?

i have been pretty stressed.

anyway. i'm gonna stretch and see if aleve alleviates.

o, and i made an excellent turkey yesterday!

ps

i love this guy:
mr riverbottum
i haven't been writing.

wait.

my weekend started off so well and ended on a sour note that lasted until this afternoon when i realized, with the help of a good pal, that i need a new projekt.

yes. the book will be out soon {YAY} and i'm training for two half-marathons and a full marathon... and i'm going to SF...

things are good.

life is good.

but

i need a projeckt.

and i have one.

but i can't tell you what it is... because it will ruin everything.

i think i'm about to change my entire life.

i think something that has been very fundamental about me for the last 18 years is about to ... take a hike.

i'll let you know if it does.

i have a feeling... it won't be a popular choice.

o.

all these letters accumulated to say nothing.

happy thanksgiving.

i'm cooking this year.

just me and guillermo.

which, i think is perfect. we can run, eat, watch movies [football? please?]

and do whatever we want.

o, and jack and bear, too.

woo!

o... i suppose the four people who seem to read this should get something new once in a while...

let's see...

RIGHT NEW BIOLOGY is being sent to print [today? tomorrow?] ... that's very exciting... not sure yet when it will be out, but, it WILL be out! yay!

i'm running 3 days a week and going to the gym 3 days a week. not on the same three days.

maggie was on the radio yesterday and read at the regulator last night. she was AMAZING!

tanya took me out to Third Friday stuff tonight and i learned where all the artists are in Durham. it was a relief. and she introduced me to a cute lesbian. pretty sure she has a girlfriend. i was just happy to think someone was cute. not just a little bit cute. a lot cute.

i think i'm going to have to move to Eastern Europe. i can't seem to be attracted to anyone who isn't Eastern European.

i think i am permanently unavailable. that might put a damper on any romantic endeavor.

all i want to do is run, eat, sleep, hang out with my dogs... i think that's it. i'm on vacation from writing.

i am going to buy a ski mask because i can't grow a beard and my face is going to freeze off from running outside if i don't do something like wear a ski mask.

yes. it is that cold.

that's all i got.

i think.
