Another full, caffeine-free day! FOUR in a row! By far my longest coffee-free streak in close to a year (at work)!

In the AM, I felt DOWN: like, "Fuck, I don't want to do this": going after women is like running a hard workout: it's a fun, intense enterprise, but it's exhausting and hard to build up to. By midday, I didn't give a shit if we even went out. But, several folks were interested, including Tanya! Huh...that would be interesting: having both lady interests there!

Emelia observes from 1-6 on Tue-Thu. She was out-of-mind nearly all day, then she showed up. It only took a couple "looks" at her to fire me up: "Ok, we're gonna DO THIS." I asked around to see who was interested, and there were a good handful of us: Carol, Warren, Cooper, Trina, and even Natalia, our office manager! Cool! Emelia asked me "Who else is coming?" (again, looking for social proof), and I mentioned several. Carol - her supervisor - wanted to go and buy Emelia a beer on her last day, so we agreed on 5:30 at Sidelines, a new place downtown (where I'd gone with Cliff/The Ballerinas last week).

So after work, I hustled home to get a run in. The weather was nice, but I felt like CRAP! Not sure why: probably the Pisgah vert and the lack of any allergy meds or caffeine. Either way, it was like 8min pace for 130 today.

Obviously thought A LOT about what might possibly go down with Emelia. She's a GREAT girl, and obviously hot as SHIT. Just like with a race, you CANNOT think about "what it's like to win", or it will blow things up. Instead, you can only focus on executing and staying positive, and then "celebrate the win" when it happens!

Got home and "prepped": cleaned up the apartment, then cleaned myself up. Found out that I'd gotten fucking poison oak from Cliff's hunt (that included bushwacking to the gun range), which annoyed the PISS out of me, since I'd Tecnu'd afterward. I re-Tecnu'd again before finally getting ready to go.

Brewed a lil NUG of coffee before heading to Sidelines, now VERY late.
