I woke up extra early today, and for some odd reason went for a run, which I haven't done in a long long time. My legs are sore now, but at least I got some exercise, finally. Went to sleep after breakfast, though, because I was just too tired...woke up at around 11, and somehow managed to slack around until 4 when I went to the office to do work. Well, that didn't really work well, as I gave up almost immediately after I looked at the research work that I needed to do...it's not a good sign, really. Came back after about a couple of hours, did nothing, and that's it for the day.

Random notes...

• It's one of those days where I really wanted to just start up conversations on msn, but backed away because I was afraid...afraid of what? Afraid that the recipient was busy? Afraid that I have nothing to talk about? Afraid that I would offend them? I don't know...in any case, I felt pretty lonely, I guess...
• Some of the instructions for the puzzles to be played in the WPC are online now... I looked at them and said to myself, what have I gotten myself into? Those are impossible!
• Getting colder these days, eh? Only got up to 11 degrees this morning...of course a couple of months later, I would look at this post and laugh at the warm temperature...
• Historically, I have a tendency to have very weird dreams. This morning, there was one that involved David Lee's birthday party, being ignored by everyone, and getting a mysterious yellowish jellyish thing dumped on me...
• I changed my phone settings so that my own answering machine will start after just 2 rings...so...yeah, I guess I'll need to move quicker to pick up the phone these days...

I'm grateful to God for...

• providing enough energy to complete the run this morning;
• helping me understand better that for Him to be my strength, I need to realize that I'm weak...;
• constantly moving me to prayers;
• a mostly calm day today; and
• the excitement in seeing puzzle instructions...
