Today wasn't the very best.

Met Jessie near the school for an early morning walk.  We haven't walked together since September so it was something we'd both been looking forward to.  The plan was to go two miles.  But I warned her ahead of time that if I needed to "go" I'd have to...go. 

My plan was to head to Diane's house should the need arise.  She, thankfully (look, foreshadowing!) lives near the school.

Sure enough, 0.78mi into the walk I gotta go.  We turn around and head back in the other direction.  I debate going to my car first and driving or just going straight there.  The more I walk the more I need to go straight there.  I text Diane and let her know of my impending visit. 

Nobody needs the play by play, but I'll say it wasn't my finest hour.  And I am so grateful that Diane was heading out for a run as I got there...as I had the house to myself to...deal with my
not so finest hour.

My stomach has bothered me the rest of the day.
I haven't even had coffee.
!!!

My doctor returned my call from yesterday, and has referred me on to a Gastro.  I see him on Thursday, and she says it's likely a colonoscopy will be involved.  She hopes they can just prescribe a stronger version of Immodium to "plug me up" so to speak--but wants to rule out everything else first.

A friend posed something to me on the phone tonight.  He wonders if it has something to do with fat burning and toxin/hormone release.  Maybe.  My only question about that though is that I don't have the same thing happen when I do yoga, swim, or participate in other physical activities.  It's just walking and running. 

But who knows?

I got flowers today.  That totally made up for the asshole from yesterday.
They're from a friend of mine...we've always had a very chastely romantic relationship.  This is the second time he's done this.  The first was four or five yeas ago.  Last time it was tulips and irises.  This time it's assorted gorgeous roses.  A dozen.

Which makes me wonder about the guy who's been trying to get back in my life.  Not that he needs to spend a wealth of cash on me (though surely he's saved plenty of money NOT ever coming to see me), but talk is cheap.  Action...that's what is priceless.

So the walk was 1.69 miles at about 37 minutes. 

Skipped yoga today due to upset tummy.
