doom and gloom...
Sat Oct 02 2010

i've really gone and enmeshed myself in end of the world material...i'm currently reading a YA (young adult) book titled "Life as we knew it" by Susan Beth Pfeffer. in short, the moon gets hit by an asteroid and get's knocked out of it's orbit, closer to earth and creates all kinds of natural disasters...

i watched 2012 (another end of world story) and Legion (end of humanity story about God losing hope for mankind and deciding to wipe us out).

no wonder i'm feeling a little blue. that coupled with the crappy rainy weather we've had for the past few days and the real life family/pet issues makes for one really bad mix. i'm almost done with the book... perhaps i'll look for more hopeful material to dive into.

it is sunny out today. a nice change. feels cool though.

i should be running. i should have gone to the gym. but i just stay in bed...reading. sleeping. thinking. i'm burned out. emotionally and a little physically. but it's more my head than my body. i just don't want to_____ you can fill in the blank.

it's a good thing i work tonight because i can't find a good reason to get out of bed. yes. i know it sounds like i'm depressed. not sure if i am. perhaps it's the only way i can deal with things right now....

it's not really any consolation since i'll be dealing with death and dying at work as well. i just hope that it doesn't involve patients i've been taking care of the past 2 weeks.

okay. time to stop listening to radiohead for a while....

ah. the Sundays are nice and mellow and Harriet Wheeler's voice is angelic. :-)
~~~
have begun some plans for next year. that's hopeful.

~~~
life just goes on. despite. because. and i'm still here. and i guess that's okay. i know i'm lucky. i know. i know.

ciao!

    I just ordered the book you are currently reading I have none at the moment I recently finished reading "The Taking" by Dean Koontz another doom and gloom but I enjoyed it I always need a book when I fly. Thanks for all the suggestions in your last entry when I need material I will refer back to it. Hope your mood improves the weather change has me a bit down also but it will get better it always does. Hope you continue your running training I never ran but love hearing about your training and plans for your future runs
