I started to faint, so I stopped. Started again, and of course it happened again. I wasn't sure if I was dying or just waiting. I did not like that feeling.
Rough few days mental health wise, but I am trying to doing things that are positive.

With 55MPH gusts not too many people were at the park. Good run. Leftover ham and sweet potatoes for dinner. Very good, but I woke up feeling like I spent the afternoon at a salt lick.
The mental health has shifted more to depression early then anxiety. Never experienced them in the same day. I try to drink some coffee for energy, but then once that system wakes up the anxiety starts. Trying to figure out a better routine. Perhaps exercising in the morning to clear my head (this would require getting up before 11 or 12). I think I will work on that this week.

| PM: 3.3-mile walk w/ Megan. HR 86.
It was very windy and Megan didn't really want to be out but we both decided to just get out. We went to Borden Park and explored some of the small selection of trails on offer (there at least was more than I thought).
The moron next door was raving about the fact that "I smoke weed" as if it was an indubitable fact of existence and an absolute right. He was doing so in response to the guy on the other side telling him to cut it out. If people want to smoke that's fine, but when they are so militant about it, it drives me crazy. I could hear him through the wall saying something about if he goes out on the front steps area it will be worse. It's legal in Michigan but a potential lease violation for the complex. Megan has called (because the neighbors haven't come to the door and the guy on the other side called). They won't do anything (it took them 11 days to get us heat after all), so Megan has suggested that we tell them we won't sign a temporary lease until something is done about it. I like that approach.
Megan has to talk me down from engaging him in an improper way at least once day. She's right of course, but the kid is an absolute punk (yelling and swearing at his kids, verbally abusing them).

Decent run. HR elevated a bit. 35 and light snow showers, so I had the park mostly to myself. Mental health better today. Mostly heavy grading stress and the delightful neighbors.
Knee a little tweaked and swollen though I didn't feel anying. I imagine it was running on the uneven edges of the path trying to give people room. I'm no longer doing that. If you ware walking with two people, you need to move single file until we pass.

Knee loosened up throughout the day and felt fine running, but I didn't run as far as I planned out of caution.

Cold and a bit of snow, but nothing stuck. Got between a gander and a goose and he went into fighter jet mode (flying about head high and about arm length away). She's down by the water, perhaps a hundred feet away, so I thought I was giving them enough space.
Starting to turn a corner mental health wise. Still a little rough, but it feels about appropriate given the state of the world.

Warmer and some harder gusts. Felt really good toward the end.
Starting to feel like I can make it and now the stress is (mostly) just typical end of semester stuff.
