Rather than listen to the game today, I decided to watch it on TV. It was a scoreless first inning and then I don’t know what happened at the top of the 2nd. I missed it and by the time I went downstairs to watch it on TV it was 3-0 A’s. I cussed. In the time it took me to check FB and Twitter, the A’s scored 3 runs. Unbelievable! Then when they scored their 4th run in the 4th, I stopped watching. Sox are not known to come back from a deficit this season. It might be a shutout game or they may get a few runs but not enough to win. I am always hoping to be wrong, but we’ll see.
I woke up late today, like after 0800 late. This is the second Sunday in a row that I slept late and then was able to take a nap and feel somewhat rested. I still have some pain that I am dealing with. Nothing too severe, just my normal throbbing in my ankle. For some reason, the Achilles in my right ankle is bothering me today. I don’t know what I did but I took an extra baclofen to try and settle it down. My calf is tight as well so I have been stretching it most of the day to ease it. I normally don’t get problems with my right leg. It’s usually always the left that bother me. I don’t get it. I haven’t done anything strenuous to cause my right calf pain or injury so it is a mystery.
Since getting my new phone, I have been testing the battery to see how long I can go between charges. I have to say the battery life is MUCH better than my previous 2 phones combined. Charging does take a long time though, the only draw back. I am still getting used to the noises it makes and trying to distinguish them, like what noise is a text message and what is an email. I have all my MSN/Hotmail accounts in the same app for the first time because the Outlook app didn’t load my messages. I have a different email for different things. I have my personal that I use for most of my email, one for my blog, and one for my support group. I used to have, at one point, 11 different email accounts. Now I just have three that I mostly use. The others I still have, like my Verizon, but I hardly use it. I might use it for spam though, like when you need to give an email account but don’t want to use your personal one. I have had my main MSN since I got internet in 2001. I like it better than Yahoo or Gmail.
Last night I was feeling low again and thought the writing bug was going to come out before I was able to sleep, but I was wrong. I was able to go to sleep without writing, much to my relief. I do love the writing bug when it hits, but it keeps me up at night, making me restless and anxious. I ponder if my writing is any good. It feels good writing, don’t get me wrong, but sometimes afterwards, I wonder if it is “good enough”. People have always commented on my writing as being well written. I guess I just have that knack. But for my writing to be most effective, I have to have strong feelings behind it, otherwise I just feel like I am writing bullshit. It’s easy to give a narrative of the day for my daily blogs but for my book writing, I have to feel something to make it worth the while.
