"When Will I Learn?"

While I slept a bit better last night I still had some vivid dreams and woke up in the dark place.  It didn't get much better as the day wore on, despite pleasant weather and pleasant chores.  After much prodding from Roo I finally managed to get out on my bike at around 3:30, the first workout since my long run on Saturday.

It was a short ride but guess what?  Yah, you already know!

Like all people with mental illnesses, I need to take my medicine regularly.  Skipping Sunday was ok because of the previous days tough long one, but after the emotion of Sunday it was paramount that I get right back at it.  I used the plantars thing as an excuse and paid for it.  I'm sure I could have rode my bike, or at the very least went swimming.
 
I'm pretty sure I'm gonna be able to run tomorrow so hopefully that will solidify my return to sanity.  I really hope so because otherwise Mike is gonna make me put stuff in a jar, and Odd John agrees with him.  Those 2  frighten me as individuals, and heaven help me if they decide to gang up on me!!  I think they both take a perverse kind of pleasure in doctoring my psyche!!

And Elly, the problem is that I can't remember it!!  And I'm afraid that if I do talk about it, I will remember.  That's pretty crazy eh??
