My friends and I went hiking and in the ass crack of the morning.  I used to go alone when I was living in another city but only for about five miles.  Since I’m not familiar with this area and I easily get lost, I thought it was best to at least go with them on my first run.  There are coyotes and other wild animals around and I don’t want to get caught up with that.

I thought the sky looked wicked, with the clouds swirling around.

We did get to see a variety of birds and bumped into a small group of bird watchers.

We would have gone further except my friends had plans with their fam afterward and at one point we did get lost which wasted time.  Oh well.  Next time, we’ll know better.

I only got three hours of sleep the night before because of other things that I had to take care of for work but it was well worth it.  I drank copious amounts of coffee, which was a rookie mistake.  I had to go to the bathroom but managed to hold it till we finished.  See, this is the reason why I’ve had UTI’s in the past.  I also didn’t eat breakfast or bring snacks.  But that’s my bad.

As soon as I got home, I passed out for four hours to make up for not sleeping earlier. I managed to knock out my to do list for this weekend and prep for the upcoming week.

    Why do I have a mental visual of Sgt Hulka in “Stripes”… banging trash cans at 0500 in the barracks… “Wakey wakey!!”

    Winger (Bill Murray): “Sergeant, I think I speak for the entire squad when I say we should rest until we’re better ready for this hike.”

    Sgt Hulka: “Allll right, Winger! Instead of 10 miles…it’s 20!”

    Guy in the bunk above Winger: “Way to go….a**hole…!” 😂🤣

      Omg 20 miles!!! Might as well do a marathon at that point. I haven’t seen stripes before but this is hilarious

    God bless. You are much fitter and stronger than me. I can walk only about 2km, which may be roughly 1.2 miles.
    Sorry for sending you a private message. I have a phobia of running out of money, even though I have money on my disability support pension.
    I asked my previous art therapist the question ‘at how low should my assets be before I take the suicide pill?’ She said ‘you don’t need that much to live on.’
    Sorry for my anxieties and phobias.
