Journal Entry for October 29, 2007 Mood

Monday, October 29, 2007

Hi all, ---

It has been a long time since I have written in my journal. Since my "Suicide Sunday" and the following two weeks of day hospital, I kinda got my needs for sharing and receiving support from the general populace of ds. Today was a very good day. I went for my hydration IV infusion first thing this a.m. After I got home from there, I pushed myself to load up my bike on the car bike rack, prep to go, and drove out to one of my beautiful large lake parks. I was kinda out of shape so I only pedaled my nifty hybrid trail bike 12-1/2 hilly miles and walked another 3 miles. It was very windy though. The winds were probably 30 mph / 48.28 km/h winds with gust over 40 mph / 64.37/h. The winds slowed me down but did not near slow me down to a crawl. My old legs are strong still… about 11 years ago, I was leg pressing 420 lbs / 156.76 kg on a leg sled rack a few sets of 3 reps. ---

I had to run a few bucks out to my son and his woman-friend's place. I had to stop to get the remote start on my car fixed on the way. It was rush hour traffic on the way back. Michigan got to have the slowest dumbest drivers in the world… excluding me of course :-). I was so exhausted, I could not even take a shower. I had to just lay down for a while. After finally showering, now I am sitting drinking a self-roasted, self-ground mug of coffee… "so delicious." In moment, I will take a nap then get up and eat a healthy for my medical condition meal, and then sleep on and off the rest of the night. I eat several mini meals and a couple of healthier main meals throughout the day. I have gotten back a bit of zeal for doing things like healthy meals, cleaning house, and of course my exercise play. The so severe lengthy bout of depression prior to my suicide Sunday took that away from me. ---That is it for now. I have something I want to share about my longtime pen-pal "Rose". Rose is 84 years of age… who writes the most wonderful, vibrant letters. I will share that in my next entry in my journal. ---

So big time appreciating all of you,
RICHARD

P.S. I can't change my smiley-face to good mood. Doug blames it on the browser because it can't be doug.
