I am a flat tire...

Recovery
I didn't realize what a pounding my body took from that basketball tournament on Saturday. I AM getting old...it's taken more than 4 days to recover...and still counting. Sheesh...remind me never to put my body through something like that again...at least not all of a sudden, like that tournament! But I'm glad to know that it's my body that's just taking a while to recover, because then that means I'm not getting sick...my body just needs a lot of rest in order to repair all the damage I've done...whew! Just a few more days....

While I'm on the topic of health, I need to get healthier, overall. I REALLY have to cut back on smoking. Everyone is flabbergasted that I even picked it back up but hey, I was weak, and now, I'm dealing w/ it. I also want to try to sleep about an hour earlier each nite...diet a lil better and take more opportunities to relax a lil bit. Look at me, Jay Bermudez...health nut...ha ha ha...

When the expected occurs
It happened...My Lolo Bo pasted away Tuesday morning. My mom told me last night and I got so sad, but I still haven't really cried about it. Like I said, this is the closest person to me that I've lost, yet I feel like I have no idea how to deal with it. I'm just not a good griever, I guess. I mean, is there a way you're SUPPOSED to be? I mean, I try to keep myself distracted and not think about it too much, but then I think that I shouldn't be doing anything that makes me happy because I shouldn't be right now, and then I think I shuold be thinking about it more... argh. All these things, I just don't know what to do...

Talking about it w/ my roomies and friend last night kinda helped me out, but yet I'm not totally sure. One thing that one of the roomies said last night that really made me sad was, "The only times family gets together is Holidays and Deaths." I'd like to think it wasn't that way, but most of the time, it IS. So here's to a more conscious effort on my part to spend time w/ family on the days "in between" those said days...
