A Fighting Chance

So, I am at 48 miles with 2 days left  It is usually easy to assume I'll get at least 10 miles in during a work day. If 10 miles is 12 miles instead I'll be at 72. Not unheard of in the least. The last 3 work days were over 12 miles, and yesterday over 13. So, a fighting chance. My miles come naturally. I am not going to do extra shit to get more miles. No need. Don't really give a fuck, but I check numbers at the end of the week. This week is different cuz Sunday I didn't do shit. 

I watered the grass for the first time in a while. We did get rain a few days ago. It looked really good. Better even since I didn't water it every single day. That is such a good thing to know. I always assumed you water it every day,  since people have been watering their sidewalks every day for as long as I can remember. Those who ride their bikes to work early know who is watering their grass and sidewalks. We dodge or get wet, depending on traffic.  Can I dodge in the street to escape water?  

I just took my blood pressure again. 132/83. That isn't too bad at all. 2 days in a row. For me, I bet drinking adds at least 10 numbers to the top, and maybe 20. Drinking is a factor in high blood pressure. For me it is the major one. Genetics may play a part too. If I didn't develop the side effect cough from my first medication I could probably drink still no problems. 

Not much going on besides that. I am getting my first tomatoes. Big ones. I have been getting cherry tomatoes. Cucumbers I am still at the eat one stage, and pick 5.  

Welcome to my boring life. I wonder how much has changed since I've been doing this?  A lot has changed just from the pandemic, but how I am.  Does my personality seem different I wonder.  My writing voice. Did it change at all?  I can't really say. I don't go back and read it that's for sure. I bet you I am approaching 2500 posts since the beginning of  the wait. A 40-something to a 50-something years old. 

One thing remains constant I guess. Still confident,  still assured. I don't get that from anyone else. That I get elsewhere. It's a good thing to have too. The best. I could be poor, and I'd still be confident and assured. I have been poor during these 2500 posts too. 

I've seen the plans of the young as they try to make their way. I once was young, but I gave up my plans. The turn if you will. That is where my confidence and assuredness comes from. The young and their plans don't always come out as planned. I cannot imagine how different I would be if I had plans I followed. Probably not good. I feel I may have been destined to be a piece of shit otherwise.  It's so hard to know. 

Confidence and assuredness > fame and fortune. Fame and fortune is more exciting to the young. Fortune people always strive for, cuz we think that is where security comes. 

Anyway, just thinking out loud.
