Writer-ish, athlete "trapped" in old fat chick body

The weather here has been absolutely brutal.  We really haven’t had a summer to speak of, yet.  Half of the boys baseball games have been rained out (last night’s double header included-don’t like to play in the middle of a tornado).  But today, now today is gorgeous, as was last Fri.  I have a few coworkers that I’m pretty close with, and so in honor of Jim turning double nickels today, he wanted to go back down to the waterfront and eat (we discovered it last Fri.)  It was a total happy accident last Fri.  We’d heard this restaurant was really good, so we headed down.  It’s a total shit hole, where you just wait for your food (way cramped-no tables), which forced us to eat outside.  On Fridays here, they have live music and have a big tent set up with tables.  Wow.  Talk about a nice surprise for the middle of the day.  It was wonderful.  So, we did the same thing today (minus the music, since it’s not Fri).  Boy, talk about food for the soul.  Such a nice distraction from being trapped in a cubicle all day.  It’s been way hard to focus since we got back, though.  Oh, and I’ll let you in on something I discovered on Friday….apparently it’s fun to sit out and do those things in the sun without drinking.  Who knew???  I know, I find it shocking myself.

I guess that leads me to the drinking thing.  Except for the John Mellencamp concert and being with my family during Jace’s tragedy, I haven’t been drinking at all.  I feel great about it, but unfortunately my anxiety is now totally “controlled” lol-by food.  Ugh.  Fucking food.  For real.  I hate it.  But I do feel good about the not drinking and hopefully I’ll have a hold on this food thing shortly.  My friends and I have been trying to plan our girls Vegas trip today.  Hopefully that will be the push I need.  Well, shove I need…well, throw me to the ground and beat the shit out of me that I need…I need something big.

I’ve been back at working on the book.  Ah, and I love it again.  I’d buried myself in it for so long, that I don’t know that I even liked it anymore.  But at my editor’s suggestion, I took some time away from it, and now see it with a fresh set of eyes and as a story and not all of the work and editing that needs to be done.  I have to tell you just how much I adore my editor.  She’s one of those people I think I was meant to know.  I just feel it.

I’m feeling good and am waiting with great anticipation for 36 more minutes to tick by, so I can get my night going (Ryne has a game).  It’ll be a beautiful night for baseball.  I hope this day finds you well and full of peace.

Oh, and this song is on the CD that I've been listening to for far to long in my loser cruiser.  Still love it.  I think we can all relate to it.  In some ways, I still relate to it every single day.


Much Love,

 Jen
