Let the spinning wheel ride

I got one of my werewolves books yesterday. It's called The Beast of Bray Road and it's an accounting of a strange wolf-like creature seen in Wisconsin in the early nineties. The creature was alleged to have dark brown fur, or hair, as many witnesses referred to it, and was often seen walking in bipedal fashion. Over twenty different witnesses came forward to report sightings over the span of a few years. Most of the people were credible and did their best to avoid any publicity. Something strange was definitely afoot.

After returning from a productive run last night, I had an uncomfortable hour or two where I felt uncomfortable in my own skin. Don't know what it was--maybe a trickle of anxiety or something I ate--but it wasn't pleasant. Maybe I had made my coffee too strong and the caffeine was warping my mind.

I've come to a better understanding with Gio. Now that it's slowing down a bit, and our crew is smaller, I've had more of a chance to get to know him better. He apologized for walking out on me all those times and over the last couple of weeks, he's been a model citizen. I hope it stays that way, especially considering it looks like the rest of my guys are thieves, incompetent, or both.

Over the last year or so, she's sent me various pictures of herself via the internet--nothing sexual, perverts--and I've saved them all in a folder on my computer. From time to time, I look at them and say things to myself like "Man, she's so pretty!" or "Am I acting like a sixteen year old, or what?". Really, though, I wonder if it's weird or invasive doing that. Or is it touching and sweet? I think it is, and I don't give a shit if it comes off as strange. What is strange, is that I'm sharing this information that should probably be kept to myself. Ah, maybe not so strange, if you think about it. Since I'm basically going this alone, not sharing my feelings with practically anyone, this is the only forum I have to be expressive about her . Ok, why am I going on about this? I guess I'm trying to defend an action that no one's criticized me for. Anyway, she is so pretty no matter what condition she's in and I've felt that way since the day I met her. So, damn right I'm going to save pictures of her!

After work I will do some yoga and I'll feel refreshed. I've been trying to step up the yoga and do it almost as much running. Pretty soon, I'll be in such good shape, I'll ............shit, I don't know what I'll do. Guess I'll just feel better, or something.
