unexpected hiatus

 Take this as a sign of how crazy it has been and then how hard I didn't do anything and how i stayed away from a keyboard for most of last week.

Going hard into the paint. Wish I could have confidence in my layup cause, while i have big palms my stubby welsh fingers make it tough to palm the B-ball well enough to dunk. 

been a while, sorry if you have been looking for entertainment or the latest on the saga of GeWilli, adventures of a 'on the specturm' edge case. Wish I had some idea of how to actually act like a functional human most of the time.

Got some great MTB in last week. Might need to add some extra cycling in, somehow. Need most intensity than is found on a 2-4 hr singlespeed MTB ride in Big River. 

I've also completely been unable to get excited to read, or even listen to audiobooks. Started CoryD's For the Win and didn't even make it to the end point of destroying the lives of the key characters, just couldn't. I think I've tapped out on my reading for a while, even listening isn't working anymore. Technically Wrong was great but not sure what to go to next. Watched a few movies. Finally saw Dead Pool and DP2. I guess I get why people are all DP crazy, but not really, it was entertaining for sure. Watched that bond film that came out just after I moved to PVD, haven't seen many movies and, well? It was good but after reading so many damn long books a 2 hour movie just seems shallow and lame and completely undeveloped. Not forcing anything just trying to shuffle along. The girls were watching some Dog reality show with Lindsey Vonn, and I got wondering, why do they have to keep eliminating the teams? Why not give them points and let everyone do everything instead of sending one group home every week/episode? Good thing I'm not a producer of that shit...

I'm delaying the start of the commute to hopefully miss the heavy rain. Downside of missing the heavy rain is that I get to ride into the stupid stiff headwind. On the singlespeed surly with the stupid tall gearing.

Yes, I'm an idiot. Like Thom K is fond of saying, if you're going to be stupid you better be tough. or however it goes... why can't i remember the punch line and word order but can absolutely cinematically visually revisit many moments in my past? 

I know i know, i'm visual, it is my job, works well for wrenching and microscoping and photographing stuff...  not so much for getting the jokes or words right... hence more of an improv success than longwinded memorized lines...

Today has been more of struggle than usual, I think it pivots off of a really bad night of dreams and laying away at 3am thinking about Ashville CX nats and the time between leaving AC's place in Greenville and driving back to VA the morning after the Foam party, esp that morning. And then falling back asleep right into the not good dreams, not nightmares but I have no idea where my brain is coming up with this shit. 

The nice thing is all those flu and cold symptoms I was feeling and that were causing all sorts of covid anxiety bascially went away when I got some rest on Wed and Thursday... And then I went and did 31 miles in big river on the single speed on Friday, worked the whole day in the bike shop on Saturday, then did 21 miles in BR on Sunday, did some grocery shopping and stuff on Sunday. And today I'm just back to being fucking tired. And my legs were tired this morning.

The commute home? raining, 22-30 steady mph headwind gusting to 60. 

At least it isn't cold out.

Maybe I should have pulled out the eBike today...

should probably sell it so I don't debate and then regret not picking it...

ah well...
