Goodnight friends! Frustrating, draining day that started rough and more-or-less stayed that way. The slow crushing tension of squeezing pressure and oncoming rain is thrumming constantly in my joints. Had to cut short another workout, felt a little weak and hopeless, still bereft of some hard won pre-relapse stamina and endurance. Circling, ruminating, distracted.

Some rain did finally fall come late afternoon, a sombre gravelly rattle that leapt up again with the force of its falling, a soft foggy haze over thr ground. Himalayan balsam beginning to loll and collapse under the urgent upward strain of their own rapid vigour, red roots uncanny.

May we find relief from grief, distress and unhappy memory today!
