I want to go to a Hot Yoga class but most are offered after 7:00 at night and I get up at 5 am for work - most classes are 90 minutes and I hate the idea of getting home around 9 and having to go to bed immediately.
I ate way too much cookie dough yesterday and feel yucky today and super dehydrated - I have downed 90 ozs of water and I am still thirsty.
I am tired. I am so so goddamn fucking tired. I love traveling but all these trips across the country and back over the course of about 2 days are just wearing me out. I left my house at 5 am on Monday (after my out of town half on Sunday) to fly to Seattle and got back to Houston at midnight last night. I'm supposed to do 10 miles with speedwork today but I think I'm going to have to rearrange my schedule because it's just not happening.
I finally stopped being sick and now I am sick AGAIN. It's not shocking since my daughter was over the weekend but I am so tired of feeling like crap. I hate being old.

I. Am Sick. Of This Boot. I'm still using crutches some and can't drive until the boot is off. I just want my freedom and mobility back!! And because DH has to do literally everything around the house, we're half assing the Christmas decorations, and I'm not done gift shopping yet, so I feel kinda left out of Christmas this year.
Someone hit my car in the parking lot at lab today. The damage is pretty awful.
That someone is a Virginia Tech employee that is paid to not back the electrician cherry picker vehicle into parked cars.
I am seething with rage and the insurance company at VT won't even start processing any claim until the dude that hit me files his own accident report (a VT officer already filed his report). How fucked up is that?
Oh noooo! I work off campus for a state university and my boss backed into my car this past spring in a university vehicle. Dealing with the university on the insurance stuff was such a pain in the ass, and I couldn't really get mad because the person that hit me also does my personnel evaluation. I'm so sorry @vtcupcake!
Ooooh these all are bummers (@vtcupcake - that seriously blows, I'm sorry )
Mine is quite lame. Our Christmas cards were supposed to be ready yesterday and they still aren't! I feel rushed to get those suckers out, but, I'm having regrets about them. It was a toss up between a single pic and a collage card. I liked them both aesthetically, and DH really preferred the collage card. They are all pics from our family session, and now I'm feeling like people will get them and think we are so self-absorbed to send out a collage of 5 essentially identical pics (3 are family, 2 are just DD). DD looks so different and cute in each of the pics, but to others they probably look exactly the same.
I'm so tired of being cold already and it's only December. And my dog HATES the cold as well so it's impossible to walk her for any great distances so she has way too much energy (at least one of us does) and she spends half the day pacing then barks at night for no effing reason at all.
I work from home so a restless dog is super irritating.
And I'm COLD. Always. Why did we even colonize Chicago in the first place? Brrrr......

My wife plays on a dart league on Wednesdays. My sister usually comes over and hangs out with our son so I can go with, but tonight they're starting half an hour early and I can't get hold of her to find out 1) if she's planning on coming this week, and 2) if she can come earlier.
Also, a friend of ours who is an AMAZING musician is playing tonight (which is why they're playing darts earlier, people from both teams are friends with her so they're going to the show after) and I really want to go...but of course if my sister doesn't come over I'll be at home with the boy while my wife has all the fun. Not that I don't love spending time with him, but us grownups need our own time too, no?

I am so tired of being tired. I wake up tired and go to bed exhausted, yet I have insomnia. It is a wicked cycle and my dr is trying to regulate my meds to help.
Also, I need to find my drive again. I I have completely stopped working out and really don't want to start again. I know it will help with the above problems, but I can't bring myself to do it.
Strap yourself in, this has been a shit week. 1. Washing machine broke. Annoying, but fine. New one on the way. 2. My engagement ring got robbed in a jewellery heist in Denmark (it was there being fixed as it is a designer Georg Jensen piece) 3. My best friend announced her pregnancy on the same day two friends gave birth (I'm having massive problems TTC) 4. Went to see the doctor this morning because I have been getting night sweats frequently and periods have all but stopped. Doctor says probably early menopause.
1) I have Shingles. For the past several days, I have felt like my body is on fire. 2) A huge re-org is happening at work and several colleagues I have strong relationships are being laid off. 3) I am working ridiculously long hours and still can't get everything done. I have the work load that 3 people (until last month- when my new direct report started, I had the work load of 4 people. 4) Over the past 18 days, we have had out of town guests staying at our house for 12 of them. We have more guests coming on Friday. 5) I still need to do about 90% of my Christmas shopping. 6) DH has to travel AGAIN next week (although he will officially hit his 50th night at Marriott and earn gold status again, I am so over the traveling) 7) This post makes me sound bitter and negative, but I am 100% happy - just a little stressed out.

Doesn't seem like much compared to some of these, but I twisted my ankle on some stairs tonight and I'm freaking out! It's swollen and sore. Thank god tomorrows a rest day. Icing it now...arg.
This one is all my fault but I'm gonna go ahead and drop it here. I feel flubby and schlubby. Yet I continue to eat bowls of cereal at 9:00 pm and down Starbucks lattes like they're water. And why are there like eleventy BILLION classes at the gym between the hours of 6:30 am and noon?!? People work, man. Also, my fucking period started today and I fucking hate it. AND, I'm so tired of teachers sending their kids to the deans for shit that is SO STUPID.

All of this. Ive been in freezing Chicago for 2 weeks for work, stuck in this stupid compound without a car, eating everything I can get my hands on because I am SO. DAMN. BORED. I also haven't been working out AT ALL. Ick. I'm ready to get home and get back to my normal schedule.
'Life should not be a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in an attractive and well preserved body. But rather, to skid in sideways, chocolate in one hand, wine in the other, body thoroughly used up, totally worn out, screaming 'Woohoo! What a ride!' So every day is a holiday and every meal a feast."

Yes. We joined a new gym and I was like "I will take some classes". "Oh wait, no I won't because they are all in the middle of the day". It makes no sense!
I also hate my yoga schedule! There are probably 10 studios in town and I swear they all offer the same exact schedule.
My Whine: I have to have a hard talk with one of my instructors today and although I am doing the right thing, it is making my heart pound.
Have you ever read the book "Difficult Conversations: How to Discuss What Matters Most"? It definitely changed how I viewed having difficult talks and my approach. I really would highly recommend it for everyone to read! Good for you for being willing to step up and having the hard talks in the work place. I wish more companies and organizations were willing to step forward and have them.
I got stuck at a mandatory new protocol training at work last night to find out 98% of it doesn't pertain to my level of training so I sat there for 3 hours twiddling my thumbs and trying to not fall asleep.

Thank you for the suggestion! I will certainly look into it as I welcome any help in that department. The talk went well and we found a solution, so I guess I was just worrying too much.
