"A Case of Nerves"

I had a really tough sleep last night as in, not getting any.  I received a nasty letter yesterday from a lawyer who is trying to help someone steal Sally's money.  I believed that I had done everything right, and yet when a lawyer starts throwing words and paragraphs at you, it can get a bit intimidating.  I got up several times throughout the night to check on one or another piece of evidence I thought I may have, and indeed by about 6 am I was content.  Fortunately I'm pretty good at paragraphs as well, and as a matter of fact I'm comfortable that they're gonna be damn sorry that they ever started screwing with me!  It's gonna cost em!  Assholes!!

Then I had a busy morning getting everything in order for the nice people who bought Sally's car, and while this was more enjoyable, it was still a bit stressful, as I was very tired.

By about 2 pm I was ready to head out into the january weather for a quick run, and that simply went badly.  I got that horrible chest heaviness by about 4 kms, and ended up walking for a good part of the way home.  Yes, it was really crappy out there, but I was still shocked when the feeling came upon me!!

I'm trying very hard to just chalk it up to tiredness along with tension and anxiety, as I know dmm well that these can be a powerful factors.  My problem is that I know of only one way to effectively combat anxiety, and that is exercise.  One more stupid time I convinced myself that if I could only get a bit of booze in me that it might be the answer.  It's now not even 10 pm, and I feel totally crappy from the 3 drinks I had.
Damn!

So tomorrow I need to mellow out.  It's still gonna stay cold for another day, so maybe I'll just ride easy, and do a little work in the shed.  Maybe I'll hook up the snowblower in order to be prepared for the rain that's coming on the weekend  :)

And lastly for today, a big shout-out to my number one son.  He doesn't read this, but if I'm gonna whine about him publicly, I also want you to know that he made a difficult decision today.  It cost him some time with his daughter, but I'm sure it raised him in her eyes, and made her happy.

  1. We number 1's are all doing things the hard way sometimes. I'm glad to hear anything about yours. I think of him every few weeks and wonder what he's up to or if I could see him for a coffee or something. Tried calling, messaging once but no response.
    Keep kicking ass.
