Everything had a shimmer to it, the city looked like a mirage.  I happened to have my camera (my good camera, not my phone) in the car.  I was taking a run along Boulevard East and had to stop and take some pics, including one of my gorgeous dead boyfriend.  I love visiting him.  Today is good. Some semi-bad news, some really good news.  Managing it.  Exercise is one of the keys and I&#8217;ve been really getting into it.  And shrinking in size, which is freakin&#8217; great!  I have a long way to go, but I&#8217;m on the road back to being the muscly little bitch I was in Chicago, running 10 miles a day.  It feels good. Lots of writing and meetings and screenings over the next couple of days.  I wanted to start off the marathon right, and the morning was just so beautiful.  I&#8217;m pretty psyched how these came out.<\/p>\n<p>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/www.sheilaomalley.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/12\/IMG_2868.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/www.sheilaomalley.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/12\/IMG_2868.jpg\" alt=\"IMG_2868\" width=\"700\" height=\"525\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-73598\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.sheilaomalley.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/12\/IMG_2868.jpg 700w, https:\/\/www.sheilaomalley.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/12\/IMG_2868-100x75.jpg 100w, https:\/\/www.sheilaomalley.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/12\/IMG_2868-200x150.jpg 200w, https:\/\/www.sheilaomalley.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/12\/IMG_2868-400x300.jpg 400w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 700px) 100vw, 700px\" \/><\/a><br \/>\n<i>I mean, for real?
