Dog Paddling

If I close my eyes and drift for about fifteen minutes, I'm good; if I fall deep into sleep I'm off balance for the duration of the day. So, the fact that the days only allow for short bits of rest works for me.

I'm working more, which leaves me less time to ruminate. Sorry for those who are just so sick of hearing about my weary old woes. In fairness to self, my woes are plenty, and while they don't work at killing my body, they do work at killing the spirit. I do find it remarkable, as in worth mentioning, that I've developed a whole new muscle set, and I'm no longer taken to the bottom of the deep end, instead I endure the annoying dunk on occasion. I know if I hold my breath and hold still he'll grow tired and wander away until the next time.

While he has me down I take stock, ask myself how I can avoid his annoyance in the future. I come up with lists that sound so easy, yet when I consider all of the implications, the ripple effects, it requires more endurance and muscle mass than I've developed.

I've a new to do list and I'm learning the hard way that no action and action usually bring on the same unsatisfactory response, so I might as well be pro active.

Ruminate, Ruminate, Ruminate....

Will, you need stop by and kick my ass.
