I’m going to qualify my answer to most questions with a “well that depends on…”

And I think that’s glorious, because nuance and understanding of complexity are good skills to have. Sure it’s great to be able to distill larger thoughts down to the barest of bones, and learn to be concise, sure, certainly, no question. But, and here’s the zinger, sometimes answers to seemingly simple questions aren’t so simple because it depends on various factors that you might be wishful thinking about, or attempting to disregard, or are hoping to overlook, with a view to applying blame when the outcome isn’t what you desire. So, yeah — complexity, it’s a thing you have to deal with. I mean I hate action paralysis due to too many options, or fear of unforeseen variables, but in a good chunk of cases you do need to think beyond your lived experiences to see what sort of obstacles might rear their ugly head when you take a plan of action. Just saying. Nuance, it’s a thing you should embrace where you can.

Saturday is here, and I’ve got work for Monday, it’s all good baby yeah. I’m happy. In this day & age, work commitments are a good thing. In other news my golf shoes arrived and brought a rain storm with them. Not a tonne of precipitation but enough to turn the cardboard box into mush. My pumpkins needed it. I have pants coming later today because one of my two pairs absolutely will not fit me, by a solid two-three inches of belly. Not my proudest moment. I’ve been exercising my grip strength, and doing push ups, and I eventually went for a 35 minute run on the elliptical, but without climbing twice a week I’ve put on 8 lbs or more since the end of June. Boo! Boo-urns I say. I snacked quite a bit this summer. I started out strong with the swimming, but the bugs up north were nasty in July and I stayed in out of the heat waves a whole lot. Sat down and ate junk. This summer body is jello moulds shaped. D’oh!

Going to set up a golf day for the week after this one coming. Maybe a good walk, and a whole lot of swinging will help me out a bunch. Stay healthy out there. Ciao Bella!
