| | Yesterday was Emily's birthday. She wanted Olive Garden for dinner. So we did an online order and had a veritable feast. I don't even want to know how much we spent on it. There's tons of leftovers. We also had ice cream for dessert. Lots and lots of ice cream. I thought I would have a rough night of sleep. I slept fairly soundly for the most part, but I did wake up to switch from my right side to my left side and vice versa often. But I would immediately go back to sawing logs. At some point during the night Emily joined us. I usually hear her come in, but didn't last night. Maybe it had to do with all the fans blowing for the construction. Anyway, around 4:30am I was trying to wake up, but had another bout of sleep paralysis. I was doing everything I could to break out of it or to alert my wife so she could shake me out of it. But with Emily between us and the fans, she didn't even notice. I finally woke up. Blah! I went upstairs to use the bathroom. Despite all the food I ate last night, I didn't have a bowel movement, and I hoped that wouldn't come back to haunt me during my run. It did. I had to stop to compose myself a couple of times, but it wasn't too bad.
It seemed to be just a hair darker than yesterday. Approaching Brown Rd., I saw a figure moving towards me and then I could see a dog, also. I thought it might be this girl I see sometimes walking her dog, so I said in a pleasant voice, "Gooooood morning!" Then I realized it was Jesse Lee and he said, "Good morning, Burt." Oh. I lowered my voice down a couple of octaves and in my manliest voice said, "How's it going, Jesse?"
I felt all right during the run other than my battle for composure. On the last leg of loop 2, I saw two bright lights on the other side of the Floodway and thought it must be the Schumacher's again.
