What a dilema!<\/p>\n<p>This mood probably started this evening around 7:10 pm.

By that time, I no longer felt like doing anything&#8230; anyway, to make a long boring evening shorter, here I am.<\/p>\n<p>[txnscp dj]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Now I have some inkling how people suffering from ALS feel&#8230; my body is exhausted from riding my bike to work yesterday and today, but my mind is still spinning its wheels full tilt!
