Boring update with valiant attempt at coherence

Gah. It just occurred to me that I don't think I've checked my ISP e-mail account in the last week. I shudder to think at how long it's going to take to download mail next time I try... so if you've sent mail to that address (as opposed to the Yahoo account, which I've checked most days), please don't think I'm ignoring you.

In other news, last night I got less than four hours sleep (continuing my pattern of waking up at TooDarn:Early in the morning), mostly because it's been too hot to get comfortable here in my room. After waking up at five, checking LJ, reading a bit of the fifth Anita Blake book (my library hasn't had the fourth any time I've checked so skipping ahead seemed like a good idea), eating breakfast, showering, all that, I managed to go to a local church for the first time in months. Their late service today was almost two hours long, but I didn't mind because (A) my leg was behaving itself fairly well, (B) the place was air conditioned, and (C) the senior pastor did a creditable James Brown impersonation.

While I was out anyway, I decided to go to the grocery store and pick up a few things. For most of you that probably doesn't sound like a big deal, but the store's about a mile and a quarter from my house--still farther from the church--and I was walking in the midday sun. Yeep. Kinda foolish on my part, really, but I managed it. Not only that, but later in the day I decided to try to wear myself out by walking even more. On a typical day, three miles is about my limit for walking before I'm too tired to do anything else; on this day, I walked more than four and probably close to five miles. If I'm not able to fall asleep after that, there's really no hope for me this summer.

Your walking is amazing. You'd leave me in the dust.

Yes, but you have a job and a daughter and a bear and a life. Frankly, that seems more and more amazing to me every day.

Hee! Yesterday I went to the local UMC. The James Brown impression was fun. Then with the ushers wearing lovely African garb while half the announcements were given first in Spanish, the whole celebration did a good job of keeping me awake.
