The dew point was 75 this morning. I've run in some high 70s dew points in Florida but I did't make it far. Feeling stronger every day. Diet is really solid and running is feeling normal if hard.

Had a phone interview today writing for a law firm in Ann Arbor. I think it went well. I just need to do one final writing sample. I really need to go to Michigan with a job.

I'm feeling better overall, particularly up from last week. My anxiety got so high last week I developed a serious stutter, which has thankfully straightened out. It happened in the weeks before my wedding too, but it went away. Megan had to drive to Toledo the other day because her dad's health went south when he has otherwise been healthy. It set a kind of chain reaction with her mom, who has balance issues. A strange turn of events. Things look like they are on the upswing, but we are still not sure what happened. I hope this summer and last year or so qualifes as my mid-life crisis. I'm not sure I'll make it through the next one.

Praying that Megan's parents health stabilizes/improves and that the job comes through.

Hope the stress level and anxiety improves. I have had that lately too and it is not much fun. Hang in there.
