You got me running through the turnstile.

Thursday morning I started getting this low-grade anger as I drove across town and I was kike, nah. I'm getting that prescription back.

For around twenty days I have been consistently 160 pounds -- and I mean consistently. Usually, my weight fluctuates from day to day. This consistency is, I believe, the result of not eating after dinner. That is where the matter comes into my system and stays overnight. It's never something particularly healthy, nothing "green" but always "orange."

We're back on track (heh) running every other day. We are well again.

When I was a young man I might ask myself, when did I run last? Then I started keeping this blog, and now I know. And that's it.

Ran out of sertraline, having difficulty renewing. Should I lay off the stuff for a while? I don't think so. But then, what if I tried?

Heartbeats sounding.

That springtime conundrum. Do I run in the morning, when it is best for me, or wait until it is sixty degrees, some time in the afternoon? Should I run this morning, and then again when it is sixty degrees but before it drops back down to twenty degrees on Thursday?

So, anyway. The Rec Center. I have a lot of anxiety today ... is it because I didn't take my meds last night? Is there a possible correlation?

Saw the Ohio Shakes production of Romeo & Juliet, and it was lovely. Left right after, no post-show cocktail or anything, came right home, got in bed at midnight. This is why I will never be in a show in Akron.
