    Uncomplaint: I ran a massive PR at my half marathon on Sunday (1:48:27) and I’m still riding that high.

    Complaint: asthma sucks.

    Complaint: the past year and a half has been super stressful. When will it end?

    uncategorized? Last night I was going to buy a pizza from the shop across the street. A woman was standing next to the empty unit next door holding one of those cardboard signs saying something like “I am a refugee, willing to work for food.” I see these people occasionally, but she kind of stood out to me because she just looked so scared. I asked if she wanted me to get her some dinner and she just nodded like she was too scared to say anything out loud. I brought her a calzone and a donut, so at least she wasn’t going to be hungry, but I can’t quite get over the look she had, like she thought someone was going to attack her. Ugh. I know we can’t save everyone, but still.

      I’ve had a stressful year and a half, too. It’s made me a better person. As stressful as it’s been, I’m thankful for going through it and learning all that I’ve learned.
