Captain Wasp

The other day a wasp bumped smack into my forehead while I was standing still. Three times now bees have run into my noggin.

I made 2 kids cry yesterday. One was mad that I threw my plate in the trash. Go figure. The other got scared when she realized I really wasn't her daddy. She kept aggressively insisting too that I was her daddy, until her mother came. I met her daddy later, and he was not a happy camper.

Driving on base the other day, a security guard was not paying attention apparently, because he said to me, "Have a nice day Captain." Cool! I've been promoted.

Bacooon

I woke up everyday this week at 6:10am. Today I woke up at 7:30 which would've felt luxurious perhaps, had I not stayed up making a salad so evil that I dare not eat more than a bite at a time. This thing has 2 packs of bacon in it for starters. I'll leave it at that.

Three Strikes

Apparently electrical wires can emit a certain frequency of noise that male squirrels can confuse with mating signals. This is when I think of scrat from Ice Age looking at a wire all puppy dog eyed. The squirrels will for some reason eat the housing off the wires. They will eat large portions if given the chance say in an attic. Maybe the squirrels are pissed once they find out it's not the real deal? Anyway, that's what I learned from our housing inspector today.

Long long story short, this is the third house we've tried to buy and things just have not gone in our favor. Big sigh.....eyes forward....move on.

Focus

Running outside now, often in the afternoon. It's a new level of discomfort, being so sweaty,sticky, and hot. Feeling my blood right under my skin working as fast as it can to dispel the heat from inside. Seems one can hardly concentrate on anything else other than the discomfort. Maybe that's a good thing.

Puuuuush

She would take a file about 2 feet long and file his toenails like she was sawing a log in half. He was bald, blind, and in a wheel chair. Yet he would squirm a lot during this ordeal. So she would smack him on the head with a fly swatter. He would guff and spit. She would then return to filing the dragon teeth off his feet.

Buzzy Sluggy

Busted out my last Veegus miles this morning round 6am. I feel kinda buzzed after running in the am, though during I feel really tired. I'll prolly have to continue my runs in the am for a while, so we'll see how that whole buzzy thing develops.

I came real close to opening a can of stupid white man rage on the refrigerator today. I'm just trying to clean the dang thing!!

Anyway, just getting in a quick post before the phone modem gets reclaimed. Must eat bad food, must clean, must pack, must sleep!!!

Good bye Veeeegus!!

T minus 10 seconds

Out the door by 5:47am today. After a decent workout, I went to evil Walmart. Then I went to Dee's Donuts since a friend recommended it. Not the best donuts ever, but certainly premium. More bad food today. I don't even care right now.

More cleaning of course. Gunna be more tomorrow. Will lose my internet sometime tomorrow night. Almost outta dis place.

I've been thinking about the ultramarathon runners at Badwater running today. As I type this, some of them have been running for 37 hours. Some of them way older than me! It's a fascinating item to wrap my brain around.
