phew. I could not have ridden harder, so I must be proud of us for that, at least. I was really trying hard in this race, and so I guess I did accomplish what I set out to do. Just before the race, we ended up with a group of us thinking we'd be about the same speed, including a few out of towners that of course didn't know the roads. I too, don't ( Read more... )

uuhhh.  I don't feel good. Don't feel right. I feel pressure. There's things I want to do and things I have to do, and the prospect of organizing to accomplish all these things to be done is daunting. I feel really hopeless all of a sudden. A few weeks ago, everything I wanted and planned to do seemed so clear. So right. Like there was no doubt in ( Read more... )

My job is obviously a good reason to be here, but all else is boring me lately. It's interesting because half of me just wants three weeks to pass fast ( Read more... )

There was a point in time last night when I realized the man I had sex with the past three nights in a row, who I've been seeing since March, was out doin it with another woman. Because that's what he does. He is (was) a swinger... but mostly discontinued that behavior when we were hanging out. This, for example, is the type of shit I deal with on ( Read more... )

For once, I did not have a great time on karaoke Tuesday. It was setting up to be a real good night… reuniting with the fellow campers… some really well planned out songs for us kids. I was supposed to go to the Ring for Leslie’s going away party, but somehow ended up instead spending that time with a man who doesn’t deserve my time at all. (Story ( Read more... )
