July 2nd

Well…crap….the depression came howling back yesterday and it’s still here this morning…I think it may have something to do with my foot not healing and even getting worse and the realization that I’m going to need treatment of some new kind for it since nothing I’m doing works…and I know they are going to tell me to stay off the bike for weeks and that is something I just can’t do….and the unrelenting heat and humidity is keeping me from getting any work done outside since I know that will make my foot worse and working outside in 95 degrees is just too dangerous for an old guy….or anyone for that matter….hey, and let’s add in not sleeping for crap lately and I think you can see why I’m depressed…oh, well….I did make it to 2,500 miles yesterday and need to keep up the pace of 36 miles a day if I’m going to get to 5,000 miles…but that goal may have to go away if my foot keeps up hurting…it looks like the trees are even starting to wilt from the heat and no rain…there is a maple across the street that is turning yellow and dying and there are leaves falling all along the trail…and it looks like this keeps up for at least the next two weeks and that is depressing, too….not much to do today…going to get on the bike here before 7 and then I need to run out to Meijers to get a bunch of stuff I forgot yesterday but I really don’t care about food right now so maybe I don’t need to go?  More later…
