April 27

Today I learned that lemons are a man-made fruit that does not come from a naturally-growing plant. I told Christina she was full of shit when she told me that, but Google says it’s true, so I guess it’s true. I also got the rest of my gear for the patio project. I hope these gloves work out better than the ones I’ve been using. I’m itching to try them out. Also today: Pinot got a haircut and half his ears were chopped away due to matting. He looks like a doofus. I went for a run this morning, which has not been as consistent an occurrence as it really should be. Having to crawl back to my old fitness level is boring, demoralizing, and frustrating. With no upcoming races, I have nothing to work towards, which makes running feel pointless. I’m going to need to find a way to make it interesting. All in all, though, not a bad day.
