Tired.
Been an hour since coffee, and maybe without coffee I really would have been falling asleep. Unfortunately, I am not exactle ready to sieze the rest of my day. Perhaps it is the quality of the coffee - weak, work coffee for an audiencenot feeling adventurous enough for bolder brew.
Brew - my friend has started home-brewing his own beer. He has been doing it for the past several months, and indeed, it tastes like beer. He says that this is a hobby he wouldn't mind pursuing as a career, which would be cool.
"What are you doing Saturday?" "Oh, just hanging out at my friend's brewery."

I Stumbled
This was supposed to be the chronicle of a young man raising his young family to the heights of prosperity and happiness, but that classification is in jeopardy almost immediately!
My wife Tasha and I are having a baby to kick off our young marriage (1.0684931 years long, at this point) with a bang, but rather than the explosion resulting from a properly planned and expertly executed firework, it is more like the random, thoughts-of-terrorists-inducing backfire from an old smelly car.
Recently my wife was hospitalized due to the threat of our little bundle of joy coming out to shake hands with everyone earlier than expected. They are both fine, but the resulting prescription for bed rest is going to rip a hole right through the plans we had for the next couple months, as she will not be able to return to work until after the pregnancy.
High on dreams of not having to worry about being able to pay rent, our sun-burnt wings of Icarus failed and now the ground is rushing up at us at a dangerous speed. We should be mostly okay, but my aspirations for the near future or slightly more humble.
I was going to run a marathon in October, but unless things turn out better than they are currently looking, that will probably not happen. I am just using this as an excuse not to have to try to train for and run a marathon, you say? I suppose that element is there, but there are other factors to consider. Over the next two months I am going to have to make time to entertain a wife with cabin fever, start studying for and attending classes, keep on working full time (and overtime, if possible), and do all the things that come standard with a routine day (sleeping, eating, commuting, etc.). I will have time to fit in some regular exercise, but I am not sure that I will have enough to properly prepare my body for the brutality of 26.2 miles.
Akuna matada, however! I will change what needs to be changed and look at the bright side of what can't be changed.
