Note to self: If you foolishly decide to run the Boilermaker 15K again, be smart enough to take the NEXT DAY OFF. It was not such a bad day, but oh, it was long, oh, I was tired, and, oh, I do not feel like writing a blog post right now. I know, what a kvetch. I should get over myself.
In fact, I did write something while at work. I don’t feel like typing it in (too long, needs editing). I got two paragraphs typed in before I petered out. I’ll finish it tomorrow or Wednesday. Unless I go running on those days and write running commentaries. After all, a good run might help my aching legs, then I wouldn’t complain so much.
In the meantime, I would like to post something so I can go back to watchingWorld’s Dumbest on TruTV and enjoying the evening with my husband (you see what I did with that headline: I’m watching World’s Dumbest and I’m apologizing because today’s post is kind of dumb). What to write? What to write? What to write?
It was my first day back at work after two weeks off. I’m going to just go ahead and confess, I did not get much writing done during my time off. How embarrassing is that? I have to wonder, is this one reason I’m having such trouble today? I often observe, writing begets writing. Maybe I just have not been writing enough.
Ah, but the thought brings me a frisson of hope. Perhaps by writing this blog post, dumb as it may be, I will gain some momentum and write something else. Maybe after a good night’s sleep and something for my aching middle-aged muscles.

Cool
Thanks
Your welcome
You should probably not just keep that note to yourself. You should probably also tell people like me, because I’m not smart enough to figure something like that out.
Well, Ben, I’d be glad to tell you anything you’d like to know, but two problems here. One, are you the least bit likely to run a 15K ever at any point in your life? It somehow does not fit with my impression of your bitter persona, but please correct me if I am wrong. Two, I try to remember not to give people advice, because while practically everybody loves to give advice, most people do not care to hear it, nor even follow it when they have asked for it. But thank you for the comment, and my apologies if my reply ran on too long.
This reply was about as long as I would want to run, so no, I would never attempt to run that far, let alone ride a bike or even fly or drive. Too many chances to not be on the couch. Also, you are correct advice sucks. It is the worst.
Yeah, and what I hate the most is when somebody asks your advice, and you give them really good advice, but it is not what they want to do, so they keep asking people till they find somebody who advises them the way they want.
Yeah, especially at work, when they ask you, then don’t trust you and ask the person right next to you as if they didn’t even hear you.
I KNOW!!! Except nobody asks my advice at work; it seems they do not trust me.
All I know is people shouldn’t because I will either give them an ugggh or give them the wrong answer.
This is perfect for people that give you advice. http://dilbert.com/strip/2015-07-16?utm_source=dilbert.com/newsletter&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=brand-loyalty&utm_content=strip-image
Teehee.
Anybody who has correctly used the word frisson correctly has written enough for that week, Cynthia. Oh, yeah, and ran a 15K race. 🙂
It is one of my favorite words.
