middle of august...

I can't believe it is already aug. 14. I am not ready for fall. What happen to summer? The days are getting shorter and colder. On the other hand, I am looking forward to not working excessively in the fall in winter. I am envisioning long runs and even longer bike rides.

The Olympics are severely hurting my sleeping pattern. Swimming doesn't ever start until 9:00/9:30 CST. How am I suppose to go to bed right when they are starting?!

Lately, I've been excessively anti-social. I don't think I've returned a phone call in about a week. (apologizes for this). Sometimes I am just plain selfish and I want to stick to my routine and not leave my comfort zone. It seems to take so much energy to be social. This extreme introvert in me, is a little scary. Usually I tell myself I'm just "independent;" this is an exageration.

The women who lives across the hall is about 45 years old, lives alone and generally seems pretty anti-social. She also drives a Toyota Corolla that looks exactly like mine. Sometimes I worry that I will become her - old and lonely, still driving a corolla and still living in this condo complex.

I guess I'm just not worried enough to do anything about it.
