things are declining

 My favorite color—October.

First I stopped walking—for the most part— on weekdays. Now it has spread to Sunday. If I don't do something soon to turn this around I will be back on the couch like the fat blob I am. This. Cannot. Happen.

I had every intention of walking this morning. But at 1:12 am the smoke alarm started binging. The battery was dead. The 15-year battery lasted maybe 10.  I was in a deep sleep. Probably the best in a long time.

I fixed all that and went back to bed. Wide awake. I should have worked a little while and then went up. But I laid there instead. I woke up at 7:45. Two hours behind schedule. Should have gone out right then and there. But instead I choose laundry and breakfast first.

About 10 I decided to walk. I was done with class. And about to start another project. I thought the Hellertown rail trail might be good, because there was a half-marathon in Bethlehem today and lots of streets were closed.   I said, I think I'll go walk Hellertown then go to the farm market.

The roomie says, can  "I come along?" There-in laid my big mistake. So instead of walking we went to the farmers market and the Dollar Store. I came home and worked until about four. Except for a phone call from my sister in Kentucky.

I didn't feel like walking at 4. But I did drag my fat butt out for about a mile. And I did get some good hills in. So I guess it wasn't a waste after all.

Things are slowing down with work. I think I'm headed for a drought. That's both good and bad. Finally no more 15-18 hours days. maybe I can get back on track. But it also means no income. However, I do have an interview on Wednesday. So we will see.
