Anger management

I didn’t get much sleep overnight,,,

Not due to furry intervention either. It was nice out so Grizz spent most of the night either running around outside, or the few times he did come in, snuggled up to my shoulderblades (his fave) buzzing happily, not the “blerts/burzzzzz” of “it’s rainin’ da!!!”

just kept waking up, totally pissed off, and I need to keep that particular beast in check today.

I’m pissed at my crew.

and if even one of them mentions (if they even show up today) that their paycheck sucks, DIO SINGS THE RIOT ACT on them,,,,

gotta keep that shit in check,,,,

No need to go into ‘why I’m pissed about things’ on that one, do I? Mehbe I’m just that ol’skool greybeard these days, but, dammit, you show up for work,

ohhhhmmmmmmmm paddda wadda ohmmmmmmmmmmmm

change subject before I start a rant.

Double nickles is fast approaching: three weeks out. Discussion with Mid-Sis and Top-Sis, I wanted Something to keep this year upcoming, something out of the ordinary for me, some goal, or project, or , I dunno,,, something, Decided that my goal this upcoming year is to paddle and document (at least in numbers) 100 miles (or more) per month for one year. Just going to the lake/river to piddle is not an option, this year is to put on MILES.

Mid-Sis pointed out that I looked like I was getting into shape (she hadn’t seen me in months, so I take her word as gospel on this, I can’t see it personally, but I am too close to self to note small changes.) And I have been getting more water time lately, so I felt the need to ‘carry this’un forward’. I am not getting any younger, the backslides get harder to reverse, and I am one that doesn’t do well wtihout targets/goals. Generally going to the Gym to work out bores the everlovinFuck out of me, and don’t even try to put this old mule on a treadmill, unless you want me kickin holes in the sides of the stable. I need physical, yes, but its gotta be doing something more than just pushing bars up and down or walking to the beat of whats playin’ on the headphones. My ‘workouts’ need to be immersive (pun NOT intended here, but quite apt.)

Now, at first as I was considering this, I thought, “geez, I am going to get bored as shit paddling the same lakes”,,,, Then I thought about it,,, The lakes around here have HUNDREDS of miles of shoreline, I just need to change my put-ins to access them. Not going to the same old same old everytime, and I will find new to me sights along the way. I believe, that Laurel lake has something like 300+miles of shoreline,,, many little coves, cliffs, waterfalls, etc etc,,, so I won’t just be pushing boat, but seeing things too.

And just maybe find some peace in a world gone mad in the process.

if only for a moment,,,,

Off to the J.O.B.,,, prayin’ I don’t kill the rats,,,,
