There is a lot of big, bad, scary stuff happening, especially for anyone in Florence's path. If this applies to you, please stay safe. A storm of this magnitude is incomprehensible.
That being said, I am exhausted, overwhelmed, and prone to snapping at stupid things, such as yelling at my phone this morning when one of my fellow instructors posted "20 chances to work out with me in the next 5 days. I also have 6 personal workouts planned, so don't give me that 'I don't have time' BS."
THAT IS YOUR ONLY JOB. THAT'S ONLY 20 HOURS OF WORK THIS WEEK.
eta--I know full well what kind of prep work goes into a class, the time it takes to travel between studios, and spending time chatting with participants after class is important and time consuming. But that kind of "what's your excuse" bullshit makes me roll my eyes on a good day.
Getting old kind of sucks. My neck is so stiff and sore today. I'm pretty sure it's from sitting on bleachers at my son's baseball game and playing on my phone too much since they are pretty boring.

I was clenching my teeth last night, and now my face, jaw, and head hurts. I know from past experience that I'm just SOL until tomorrow, so I'm just trying to survive the day.
My leg is slowly getting better, but it's still not right. I'm supposed to do a 13 mile run this weekend, but I don't know if I'm going to be able to run at all. Uuuugh.

I’ve been sick all week and that combined with the rain means I haven’t gone running or been to boot camp since Saturday. I hate getting so off of my routine.

I just went to the doctor for some weird issues I've been having, she saw nothing obvious wrong with me so I have no idea wtf is going on. My period is about a week late though I've been crampy for a few days and for the last 2 days have been peeing non-stop. Took a pregnancy test yesterday that was negative. The peeing got me so annoyed this morning when I peed twice before going out to run and 20 minutes into it had the urge again, this was after getting up 3 times to pee overnight. I peed 4 times between 5am and 7:30am. Urine culture was negative, pelvic exam was normal. She did a blood pregnancy test just to confirm but assuming that will be negative, she really couldn't explain why this is going on. Ugh. Ok gotta go pee now....
I planned out all my NROLFW workouts and calendared them so I could stick to 3 days a week even working around work and family travel this month. I was supposed to do one this morning, after flying back late last night from a work trip.
My flight was delayed overnight, and was from DC which is not in Florence's direct path but is definitely going to feel its effects. I wanted to get out before it gets crazy. So I accepted a rebook to another city 2 hours from mine, then rented a car and drove to my home airport where I'd left my car. I finally got in at 3am, totally spent, and did not get up to work out. Hell, I didn't even go in to work today, I decided I deserved a WFH day for my mental health. But now my whole workout schedule is jacked and I am annoyed.

Booo, I hate when my schedule gets thrown off, too. But you definitely made the right choice, you're better off getting rest today than trying to squeeze in the workout.
My older dog passed yesterday (it was sudden and not expected). I have zero motivation to do anything. I spent yesterday crying. i barely slept last night. I somehow made it to swim this morning, but work today has been a waste. Im supposed to run/walk 6 miles today (as per my pt and my longest in ages). But i just dont want to do anything. At all.
al320 , I saw on IG and I'm so sorry. If you need to take some time, do. G & H have such loved existences.
Doggie Derkins was dx'ed with lymphoma this summer, and ever since I've been trying to work a little ahead of my schedule whenever possible. I don't know when the day will come, but I do know I will be useless when it does.

Thank you
G had lymphoma, he actually beat it. He had 6 months of chemo (which finished up in october 2016) and it had never shown any signs of coming back. Theyre so resilient, but i know how hard it is. Big hugs to DerkinsPup.

My mom has been here since Friday. I haven’t made it to the gym since then. I try to go but then she needs something and never make it. I miss working out. She’s waiting for the movers to bring here stuff to move into her apartment. I hope they get here soon. I love her to death but she’s driving me crazy!
My bulldog turned 11 on Tuesday and went to the vet to have some spots checked out. It sucks so bad to see animals getting old.
I'm so tired this week. Its a step back week but I feel exhausted, maybe its because I've actually slowed down a bit but hopefully I'll feel better come Monday. I'm hoping to get another swim in this morning before the Hurricane comes through.
al320, I'm so sorry. Losing a pet is freaking awful.
jane6672, a week?! Holy hell. Two days of rain last weekend and 6 days of near constant cold/rainy weather headaches about had me ready to lose my mind and I thought that was bad enough. A week of rain would have me climbing the walls!

al320, I'm sorry about your doggo. It sucks SO much.
I'm still struggling with my damn foot. I'm getting nowhere with traditional medicine and I'm desperate. The MRI showed only inflammation over the pain spot, but NOT ANY FREAKING REASON for either the inflammation OR the pain. So far I've done NSAIDs, immobilization, OTC pain creams (including a homeopathic one), home exercise/stretching, and imaging. Anyone have suggestions for homeopathic or alternative remedies?
Also, the stupid boot caused significant plantar and Achilles issues, so that's fun, especially going up and down stairs. I asked the doctor about it and he was all "well, it sounds like you have plantar fasciitis. The typical treatment for that is bracing, but since bracing seems to have caused it, let's go with stretching instead!" Gee. Thanks.
al320, I'm so sorry about your sweet doggo. mrs.jacinthe, gosh I'm really sorry you are struggling with that. It must be SO frustrating. Are you able to swim or is it completely immobilized?
irene adler, that shit pisses me off so much. Yell freely at your phone and circulate to us so we can yell with you because that's bullshit.
I was sick yesterday because big triathlons seem to take a toll on my immune system - hmmm go figure. I took the day off work and just laid around watching movies and napping. I'm feeling a bit better today, things are on the up and up. Which is good because I'm done resting and I need to start working out again

ktzmoh, I can swim, but only open water (which is getting more precious around here - water levels are dropping fast). Pushing off the wall in the pool hurts. Doctor was all "just push with one foot" and I was like "uh, I mean, I CAN, but it's unlikely I'd remember for an entire 3000 yards." Sigh. I mean, I guess I can skip pushing off at all, but I'm not even sure how to avoid that. Flip turn before I get to the wall?
