Keepin' on a-keepin' on

Hm. How *am* I holding up?

Comfortably numb seems to be where I'm at emotionally.  Semi-boss asked me how I was this morning, and I got to be blunt about 'hey, suck, so don't expect much out of me this week.' The support I've gotten here on livejournal and in person has been very much appreciated.

My condo is a mess - I've let alot of housekeeping slide since my uncle's death, and my productive Sunday turned into not much of anything. I switched between computer games and fanfic, and both the piles of mail and the weeds in my garden only continue to grow. Paying bills today, so

This coming weekend was supposed to be the triathlon, but my training slipped when I went to NY, fell flat on its face right after, and I just haven't picked it up the way I need to. Plus, I made plans with Meg to pickle on Sunday, and right now, that's what I'd rather be doing. I think my brother will be the most disappointed with me, but more in that I haven't been training rather than not actually doing the triathlon.

Dad's dealing with all the family trust juggling, and since there was a doctor present, there's no trouble with the death certificate the way there was with my uncle. Grandma should be cremated very shortly now. We're not much of a family for funerals, and we haven't even had my uncle's memorial service yet, so who knows what will happen in that line.

**hugs** Your presence was missed yesterday, especially since the buffalo burgers and chicken-pesto-feta sausages were tasty. :-D Glad ytou got some good "cloistering" time in, though.

Do what you need to do for comfort, dear, and the heck with the clenness of the condo for now (a "clean" home is the sign of a really sick mind, IMHO... there are so many other [read: BETTER] things to do in life than to worry 'bout a house being 'slightly unkempt' -- and I've seen your house -- it is never more than 'slightly unkempt'. HONEST. :-)

With far less excuse than you, I've let my marathon training lapse, too -- I've been running, but hardly biking, and I haven't gone swimming in weeks and weeks.

So, I'm thinking instead to do the Seattle 1/2 marathon in November. It's still 8 weeks away, which leaves time to train.

We've talked a little about trying to run together -- you want to try? I'm currently not working (sigh), so my schedule is enormously flexible. We could meet at Husky Stadium (I vaguely remember that was near you -- feel free to tell me I'm remembering wrong). Exercise is good when you're hurting, even when you least want to do it...

Let me know, and I won't be bothered if you just feel too busy or stressed right now.

I would love to try. I live by Magnuson Park, and work basically across the street from Husky Stadium, so either would work for me. I try to get out of the office around lunch/noon-ish but if I had a running partner I could be convinced to run whenever.
