Day 4,056 —Running into a Tree Branch—

 

         It wasn't easy to get up to feed my cats this morning. I wasn’t up that late, but I was just a little off. I didn’t feel like running at all, which is a rare feeling. I waited until almost mid-morning, which meant more cars on the road, and with more people, it was harder to be motivated. I am not against seeing other people outside, but I don’t love all the cars close to me, or always feeling like another car could come racing close from behind.

         My watch gave me a negative 5 for today, so it was good to see how I was feeling wasn’t all in my head. I was also felt stuffed from the bagel I eat earlier, but still somewhat hungry. For a moment I felt like maybe the heat was getting to me, but then I realized it wasn’t that hot, and it was even a little cold with the breeze making me shiver. This is the first week off from work! But it doesn’t feel like that. I have had more than enough to do each day with my kids and stuff going on with my family, and what I haven’t had is almost any time by myself, except the 30 minutes in my car yesterday when I was picking Vivian up. This is also my second day without coffee, and no coffee does seem to make me feel groggy. Possibly just stopping abruptly wasn’t the best idea I have had, but why not? I don’t have to get up early except to feed my cats, but it was so difficult to get up long enough to feed my cats this morning. In a rare occurrence, I went back to bed and slept another hour, and my wife and kids got up before me.
