Today was definitely better

So today was and improvement upon yesterdays tragic twist of events. I slept like a log last night and went into work from 10-6. I did a lot at work today by rearranging some shelving and cleaning half the store. I also got to chill for a bit from 4-6, due to Tome Berry leaving a little early. I put my feet up and relaxed a bit! I mean literally, I read the new SI issue of how Lance Armstrong has taken his off the bike battles as seriously as his on the bike battles of the past. I would not say I miss him racing, but I will say there was a lot more concern for cycling while he was in the peloton. Ah...... well athletes must retire at some point. It was just refreshing to read that he is doing big things to fight cancer. After work I went home and changed immediately into my cycling gear and went for a little spin with Louie. It helped and I felt rather good and me and Louie even did a 2 man Time Trial down Oakland for a good 3-4 miles, it is just sad that he has so much talent and ability and I see it going to waste somewhat. He is my best friend, I don't know where I rank on his pals list, but thats not necessary to know. I just know that he should be in the 1-2 field with me and not trying to get in shape right now. I do understand his position though, he has found a girl that I not only respect and love as a freind, but someone that he cares deeply about, so I can not really fault him, just a few quick jabs here and there. Other than that everything is awesome, I got some Jeremy time today and it was sort of nice. I mean don't get me wrong, I love kristi and spending time with her is a true pleasure, but everyone needs time to themselves. She had her banquet for the track team tonite and then went over to some basketball players place to watch a movie and I hope she had a great time. I completely understand that nel was in town and they are like two peas in a pod, so they should have fun. She has not got to see Danielle a lot lately so it will be refreshing for her. I am just kinda dissappointed in myself for always wanting her around, I guess I can't help loving the time I have with her and will not take it for granted, by the way sweetheart you are a true GEM. So on tap for the rest of the week is riding, work, yada yada yada, and maybe some time with kristi before she leaves for the MAC meet. I know she has to pack and has class and work tomorrow and I do not want to be the selfish one, so maybe I will not see her, but if i did I would be tremendously happy. We will see, she is busy and I can not let her ruin everything she has worked so hard for just for me.... I can control that. If she can't spend some time with me that is okay, if she can that is even better. Life is sometimes about sacrifice and understanding, I just hope she knows that at times I may seem dissappointed but it is not in her, it is in myself. Finally I am over yesterdays race fiasco, as Josh put it "shit happens" and you can have good form and just have an off day, hopefully there are not too many off days ahead. I will say that the races coming up are not particularly to my liking or style of riding. I will just go and see what I can do that is all I can ask of myself. One more note. Yes Louie I have recently accepted God into my life, and I will not be sorry or explain why this is. It is not because of anyone or for anyone but myself. God put us here and he can take us at any time, I am thankful I have accepted his faith and will pray daily that those of you who haven't accepted him will find closure at some point in life. So to sum all of this blabbering up.... I am very happy and content at the moment. Things are going great for me, other then my ticket everything else is awesome. So look upon today as a lesson in life, you can not relive it or redo the days you have lived, one can just hope that they learn and grow from experiences they have encountered. That all came from my mind, wow that was deep Jeremy. Later!!!
