My running shoes died today The hole in the sole at the toe was bad enough, then the other shoe got a hole at the bottom of the sole and tore through the mesh on the top/side where my 2 smallest toes are. And something is stuck in the bottom sole too, poking into the shoe. They had a good run of it. I think I've had them 2 or 3 years, and I have put a lot of miles on them walking & running (wish I knew how many, that would be interesting). I went to Academy and bought some much cheaper shoes I hope will be OK. I tried them on and ran around a bit in the store; we'll see.

My stomach is very upset, and I think it has to do with the fact that I ate a high protein bar (most of the protein from whey) before getting some allergy medication at the drugstore & going to Academy. I thought it would be a simple, quick snack. Whey protein did mess with me a little in the past, but not too bad. However, this is the 2nd time I've had this happen after consuming high whey food post surgery. I am thinking now I cannot eat/drink things with a lot of whey as now it makes me feel ill and physically uncomfortable. So I still haven't had lunch because my stomach is all upset and gassy and feels overfull. My luck I am digesting this exercise bar super slow too.

Mood is OK, not low, maybe a tad manicky, but not bad. Really, really hoping for the best from this job H has been working at getting to teach at university level. He's been told to get his letters of recommendation in ASAP, and he had to email 1 or 2 people to prompt them. The guy hiring just wants to hand the full packet, everything there, to HR. He's had H send in a voided check, which is promising. But still...I just want to know! We have been waiting over a year with job offers promised and taken away again and again and now again promised...I won't believe it until everything is official.
