I had a stressful day

I had a stressful day yesterday, so when Jose asked “hey, do you want to go get margaritas with Nick and Heather and Melissa tonight?” my answer went something like “YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSS.” That led to fajitas, two deceptively strong margaritas, and Sarah falling asleep at 9:30 last night. I woke up again at 1:45 a.m. with contacts still in my eyes and earrings stabbing my head. Took them out and went back to sleep until almost 7:30. That’s ten hours of sleep! And it was still tough to get out of bed today!

In other news, I’m saddened to see that Floyd Landis failed a drug test administered after his awesome victory in Stage 17 of the Tour de France. I really, really want to believe that the cyclists I follow are clean, but it’s becoming so much harder to believe that anyone is really clean these days. Even though Lance Armstrong has never failed a drug test, I have a harder and harder time believing that he was truly clean for seven years when so many other top cyclists are falling by the wayside, done in by a positive drug test. Tyler Hamilton. Ivan Basso. Jan Ullrich. Now Floyd Landis. These are the best cyclists in the world — and I’m supposed to still believe that Lance didn’t succumb to the same pressure that the others apparently did?

Astros game tonight. I hate to admit it, but I have not followed baseball as closely this season as in years past. I don’t know what’s to blame. I’ve been busy. I’ve been tired. I’ve just had other commitments. And the Astros haven’t exactly inspired me to be excited this year. Tuesday night I bailed on going to the game because I didn’t want to deal with the rain. Gave a new twist to the term “fair weather fan,” as Gavin pointed out.
