With music I aimed too low and produced a lot of quantity but not much quality. With writing I aimed too high and didn't produce anything. For so long I wondered what held me back as a writer. I think now, that this simple thing was probably the main issue all along. Trying to rectify that now. Possibly with both though far more concerned with the writing.

Kidney stone sickness really lasted about 26 days. Ends with my penis finally not hurting so bad when I get an erection, although still hurts a bit. After not running for three weeks, I'm very sore from trying to get back into it. Haven't had calf soreness in forever. Blah.

Decided to run just two days a week and then twice a week use an exercise bike and do some ab work. This because along with not liking how much time the running was taking, worried about getting kidney stones (dehydration). Hopefully the main thing is to avoid spinach. I had been eating a ton recently.

Still haven't gotten out of the habit of laying in bed. Excuse now is so sore from running. Hopefully soon I'll start spending 14, 15 hours a day vertical. Right now more like 12 maybe 13.
