Tired lately. It's getting hot here, and the air quality is getting bad, but I'm still riding my bike nightly and enjoying it, as long as I don't leave too late and put pressure on myself to ride quickly. But my car is "fixed" in that it started today and served to help me stock up on groceries I needed. Not sure if it was broken at all, might have just been lack of gas, although I still think it's weird to have it run out immediately after getting home... more likely is a minor electrical problem that prevents it from starting on high humidity days.
I've had a couple of game nights with some friends from work, playing marathon sessions of Settlers of Catan and now Cities and Knights... it might become a weekly thing or a semi-weekly thing. It's nice to have something social to do on weekends, at least.
Meanwhile, at home nature has decreed that it's time to face a new ant invasion. The good news is that they aren't in my kitchen or near my food. The bad news is they don't seem to be susceptible to the ant traps I put out, and aside from normal ants I'm seeing a ton of the flying drones around, and they creep me out. I don't know if I'll try more traps or spraying next. I could seriously do without insects making a home in my home.
I hurt my shoulder last week, which has slowed down my training a bit, but I'm slowly recovering, and the 5K I ran on Saturday went OK despite a really hilly course -- I now own a first in age group tile as a prize. I think I'll try to get up hella early on Sunday to run 22 miles, hopefully before the air gets thick enough to spread and hot enough to melt the flesh off my bones, because I'm against that.
Must try to eat more vegetables. And sleep more. Or maybe less, I'm not sure, whichever will make me less tired and more productive.
