I have a walking counter to try to make sure I take enough steps everyday. I can't believe that just a short while ago was running 8-10 miles every day and now, I do good if I walk a few miles each day. That's the toll of my spinal condition, but anyway, the counter hooks into my gaming system, and I can virtually walk different paths around the world. I am walking Chicago currently, a city that I am quite fond of except or the winters. Today, the system told me that the city's name possibly comes from the tribes in the area, meaning wild garlic. I thought that was rather interesting. I am guessing back in the day much wild garlic must have grown in the area. Not anymore though, of course.
I am getting ready to watch the UK Wildcats take on the University of Louisville in the big tournament in college basketball. From the time I spent growing up in Kentucky, I bled UK Blue when it comes to college basketball, so let's go Cats!
I tried to fix the O2 sensor that's going bad in my Explorer, but I have to tear out the center console to be able to reach it, so I left it for another day. I also have get a new battery tomorrow. The old boy is nearly ready to throw in the towel. He is a 1997, so I've probably gotten most of the life out of him without spending a ton of more money. Of course, I am not looking forward to a car payment, but I had better get serious about looking. I will be sad to see him go. We had so many adventures in that redneck machine.
I can't believe Saturday is almost here . . . the day we will see each other again for the first time in so many months. I am nervous, but plan to do mediation today and tomorrow several times to get my mindset correct. I have changed. I want you to see that, but I also know that not everything in my transformation is complete plus I will be nervous, so the meditation will be of a big help. Glad I have been practicing that for so long now.
Well, it seems I can't avoid seeing you this week either. I counted 29 total Kia's today, but as I was headed to lunch and to have some medical tests, number 3 was you, heading toward your apartment. I guess you must have taken at least part of the day off, as this was the middle of the day.
Sleeping tonight is going to be so very hard, but I am going to try to do my best to get all the sleep I need because I need to be at my very best tomorrow. I guess I am afraid at the core that you will truly have moved completely on and view me as just a friend. But at my core is always optimism and hope, and I prefer to believe that the love you had for me has not left and that there is always the hope for another chance for us. Besides, I will love you forever.
Yours for all time,
MNP
PS: Will you at least consider to marry me?
