a day to remember...

i used to run marathons growing up(26.22 miles),so this day i will never forget,because i have had less than two hours of sleep in last 36 hours... just could not sleep... this lack of sleep started about 8 am,yesterday... i have tried to sleep... just could not... well,today was the topper of all days... went to bed about 3 am,got up somewhere around 5 am,and had to do nine hours of jury duty,so i remembered that during marathon training you had to slow breathe and keep moving,and concentrate on something far away... well during the breaks in the day of total boredom(jury duty),i took off on walks,and doing things that needed to be done,but yet were fun things to do... at lunch,i went to the bank,and even sat in on a lunchtime Catholic Mass,for about 20 minutes,prayed,and then went back to the courthouse... it calmed me down,no end,and my old marathon training came in very handy,because i even walked about three miles,on a mid 90's day,temperature-wise... well folks,i made it without collapsing(laughing)...
