Ever since screwing up the transmission in the Camry, getting back from Grand Turk, and learning Becky was going to be off work for [up to] two months, I seem to have succumb to a general feeling of malaise.
And those aren't the only things.
Over the past month, I've managed to lose 7 pounds. That has helped my climbing prowess on the bike, but has resulted in a loss of speed on flat ground, so now I don't know if I should continue to my goal of 145 pounds (another 6 pounds), or just maintain this weight, but train harder.
Then of course, there's the switch to 'real' caffeinated green tea which may be having an effect. Now while I haven't been experiencing any of the heart palpitations I was concerned about, I do think I am drinking a lot more of it, and maybe the caffeine is having some other side effect I can't quantify.
And finally there are the changes that are just inevitable, that come because time doesn't stop, people move on, for any number of reasons, and new people take their places. Sometimes that's good, sometimes it isn't, but regardless it's change, and when you get to a certain point in life, most change is unwelcome.
Now I understand why advertisers focus on the 18 to 49 year old group.
Oh well, hopefully a weekend of over indulgence in Vegas [at the Mandalay Bay Aureole Wine Weekend] will help put a different perspective on things.

I'll give them Uncle Marc's phone number in case they run short on cash. :-)
Anywaze, it does make me feel better that you can drive again, and as long as the rest of the weekend goes as good as the drive to Vegas, and the first tasting event here at the Mandalay Bay, I should really be feeling good come Monday. Or Tuesday that is.
