The Adventures of Cowboy Hazel

Notes:

~ I didn’t run today. I’m not running tomorrow either. I’ll do an easy 4-5 miles on Thursday, then rest up again Friday. I really, really want to be able to run strong this weekend on my relay up in Vermont.

~ Thank you all for the great advice and links. I’m still really hoping that this is nothing serious and I don’t want to attach a name to it or self-diagnose or anything like that. But, after reading the stuff that was sent to me, I decided to take a very cautious approach and, if anything, err on the side of caution.

~ I’ve been using one of my Scottish flags as an ice pack. I have the other one on my wall in the loft, next to all my race bibs.

~ This weekend, I mailed in my lease renewal, extending my rental of this apartment to three years. Out of curiosity, I looked up records from the 3 years prior to moving here and found that, in that time, I lived at 6 different addresses in 4 different states. A slight change of pace…

~ My cousin sent me a case of wine from his vineyard. It is amazing stuff. I’m going through it way too quick. And, I need to remember to go to the store tomorrow and buy a thank you card.

~ I just signed a new contract and have been hard at work making a big cost analysis calculator report for a laboratory mice caging company. I must admit, I have thoroughly enjoyed constructing it so far. This may mean that I am somewhat of a nerd.

~ I bought basketball-style wristbands at Modell’s yesterday for no apparent reason. I wore them on both wrists all day today, also for no apparent reason. And I am wearing them now, for no apparent reason.

~ I read Lolita. It was boring. Didn’t live up to the hype at all.

~Now I’m reading The Orchid Thief. It’s interesting so far. More interesting than this, in fact, so I’m going to get back to it. Good night.
