"Quand on veut, on peut"

Thanks Larry. Literally I think it translates to "when we want, we can". Correct me if I'm wrong. I'm sure someone will!
Thats so easy to say eh? "Just do it!" "Mind over matter!" yadda...yadda...yadda
The problem is my freakin mind then. It's just not that strong and let's me down frequently. Do the cliches cover things like going to sleep? When we want we can?? Doesn't sound so easy any more eh, especially to anyone who's ever had insomnia problems for any reason. Last night was terrible for me. I finally drifted off around 10:30, which by my biological clock was 1:30 am,(I just arrived in Hermosillo last evening). and then slept only on and off all night. Basically I woke up from the pain of my dry mouth. Several times when I awoke I would lay there for a few seconds trying to decide whether it hurt enough to sit up and take another drink, or whether I could go back to sleep. the problem was that I was so tired, I would try not to drink, only to fall into this terrible circle of semi-sleep/semi awake, where you get no rest at all. I believe it was made worse last night by the fact that I spent almost an hour in the pool, as I believe the chlorine exacerbates the dryness. And of course my body told me it was 7:30am when it was actually only 4:30, and so I did not manage to sleep at all after that. I suppose though, it's all understandable because of course last night, I didnt know about "Quand on veut" Tonite I just need to 'want' it a little more I guess.
In fact I hope it's the lack of sleep that caused me to have a difficult day. The stupid buzzing in my head is actually worse then it was, so of course what do I do? Like everyone else I go to the Internet to learn a bunch of non-facts. The official Effexor site had only a general note about withdrawal symptons, but just about everything else I could find was very unpleasant....but like I said, probably all BS from a bunch of hypochondriacs.

Ok enough bitchin. I did manage to get a 6k run in with my good Canadian-Mexican buddy Mark. It was a chore but thankfully Mark could go longer as he had stuff to do. I hope it's the heat that makes it seems so tough(it was about 34 when we ran). I didnt buy that initially because as I mentioned I have ran successfuly in this town before. What I must remember though is that back in 2005 i had really acclimatized before I started running. Mark tells me that for whatever reason it is much harder running in the afternoon than the morning. It could be a pollution thing.

Okay, so tomorrow will be a better day....I want it, I want it, I want it(the Who I think?)

A few little things that made me smile today.
1)Son Peter dissing the immortal Cat Stevens!...one of my idols. I find it paricularly amusing because the line I picked was from a great tune called Father & Son in which the two dialogue about their difficulties of seeing each others way...lol
2)after all the trouble I went to to find a Pearl Jam lyric to fit my blog theme, Miguette tells me that it isnt even their song!!!??
3)My mexican family. I wish I could transplant most of these people here to my home town.

I wish to decdicate day 22 to my mother-in-law Jean(Parent)Regnier, who has always been fair to me, if not to herself.
