tired as i was, i willed myself to walk to the pool. i knew that once i was halfway there, i'd be too bummed to walk back home without at least swimming a few.

rest eluded me last night...and i suppose it'll be the same tonight as well.

those 20 laps i did today provided temporary relief. i would've pushed myself to do 10 more, 'cept that the pool was getting increasingly crowded.

as i settle down to write this and, at the same time, look through possible news stories on my mac to cover for the morning, the fatigue sets in.

i need rest.

but today won't be it.

this week won't be it.

then again, next week wouldn't be it either.
