Wednesday Wines

[mrs.jacinthe]

I had nightmares all last night of the most realistic variety (people and places that I know and love, situations that actually could happen) and now I'm all kinds of freaked out. Also, I slept really poorly as a result of that and Cat deciding that last night was a great night to try a variety of poses for sleep, including one that literally pushed a paw up my nose. Talk about a rude awakening.

I'm frustrated with my manager at the gym because he scolded me yesterday for writing "too long" emails, but doesn't respond to my quick/short emails, resulting in a question round-up in ONE email after 5-6 questions went unanswered (the email I got scolded for - NOTE: he didn't respond to most of that one, either.) I'm TRYING TO HELP YOU AVOID A MEETING, DUDE. HELP ME OUT HERE.

I'm sorry it's a rough day for so many. Hugs ladies.

CallingAllAngels, sending hugs and good wishes. What a tough time and tough milestone for you.

pixy0stix - you are NOT a failure honey. Choosing the best distance for where you're at is wise, and getting out to any race is a victory. SO much better than those sitting on their couches. How's the biking going?

clseale - allergies suck. : / I've been taking generic Allegra for the past year or so, and that is helping me more than Claritin ever did. Hope you find some relief.

I haven't wanted to post this to make it official, but... there's no way I can do my half. I'm probably going to knock it down to the 10k, or at the very least the 5k. I feel like a failure.

I've had to do this before and hadn't gone through half the shit you have. There's always another half

[hannahb]

Since the title of this is Wednesday wines I'm going to go with a nice merlot. Kidding but maybe we should make Wednesday wines a regular thing.
No whines from me today (are pigs flying?)

CallingAllAngels - I'm sorry about your loss. I'm approaching one year this weekend from my mom's lost and I've been in a funk for 2 weeks about it. Sending lots of hugs.

My garmin will not allow me to push my workouts onto it anymore. I spent 30 mins fiddling with it this morning and gave up and cried about it. Because I fiddled so long and couldn't get it to work, I ran out of time to get a run in. Also I have my period and I fell disgusting from all the food I've been eating.

I could go for a glass of wine right about now.

[lb2006]

I have zero whines today (or wine) because we just received our official county inspection approval that we can MOVE HOME!!! We have so much work left to do, but can now live back at home after moving out 322 days ago!!!!!!

It is hot outside. And H is OOT. And I didn't make my lazy butt run with the stroller. Almost 10PM, still 88*. Eww.

ETA: And I can't even buy wine here to help me refocus.

[Brit]

CallingAllAngels Big hugs. I'm sorry.

CallingAllAngels hugs

This is totally not H&F related but there is a colony of bats living in my attic. Which like to find their way into my house in the middle of the night impeding on my sleep and making me tired when I go to workout at 7am. So I guess it is slightly H&F related.

And I'll fourth that glass of wine

brit -- when you say you can't buy wine, does that mean it's a fully no alcohol, conservative country thing?

CallingAllAngels and clseale, my mom died when I was 8 and the hardest year I had was when I was 32...older than she ever was. I didn't even realize it until I went to see a counselor because I was just having a hard time. So, some years are really tough, but some are more poignant and positive. It never gets easier, just a different tone.

My whine is not h&f - I just want to run away from my job today. I have a stack of passes to talk to freshman boys who are calling a girl fat/making fun of her being a cutter/her declared bisexuality...and I want to just rip their effing heads off. And I'm tired of this convo...I have to have it every damn day. What's dragging me down is that those kinds of kids will not change. They will grow up to be the mean bitches and abusive jerks we see on the boards every day.

I'm sorry, CallingAllAngels. That's me every February. (Lost my dad Feb 2000.) What's weird about it, is that the blues happen without even thinking about it. I'll have a million things going on, and not even realize it's coming up. Then I'll realize I've just been down & gloomy, and then I'll realize what time of year it is.

What hit me hard this year (and I would guess, although I don't know how old you are, that this is the case for you too,) is that I realized in the next few years (2018 to be exact)I will have lived as long without my dad, as I did with him. I'm not sure why, but that hits me like a ton of bricks. I'm so sorry. Lots of hugs.

That is me in Feb. also (lost of my mom in Feb. 2007).  And I know what you mean clseale about being around more without your parent than with.  I think about that too even though I am years away from that.  (((HUGS))) to both of you.  It sucks!

My w(h)ine is that I had a really shitty week for work (despite the fact that I only work 20 hours/week.  It had me so upset that I was a miserable person to be around for whole week.  Poor DH just had to watch me mope around and get angry.  It even affected the way I was with my kids and that really pisses me off, because they are my everything.  But after Monday (2 days ago), I realized something (while on the mill of course),

I am not the best employee,
I am not the best mom,
I am not the best wife,
I am not the fastest runner,
but that is ok. 

Very liberating run!

[skwcm80]

((Hugs)) to everyone. The first year anniversary of dad's death was this past January and I was a mess leading up to it. The anticipation for me was way worse than the actual day, but it still sucked.

Yea I know for real.  It's a good thing they only come down one at a time and that its fixable.  I've learned a lot about them this week - namely that they aren't dirty and that they eat a lot of bugs

Small favors I guess? The football stadium at my alma mater used to be infested with bats. They're currently renovating so I'm not sure if it still is, but it always freaked me out walking up to the stands. Plus the whole rabies thing...

You need a special license to buy it here and we haven't gotten one yet. It requires letters from your company, landlord, and a billion other people all issued within 30 days of your application date. Plus the process costs about $350. Fundamentally we are irritated by paying for the privilege of buying booze.

This is the lamest whine ever - I am on freaking vacation until I start residency at the end of June, which is awesome, and it's already driving me crazy. I'm spending a lot of time with new dog helping him adjust and working on some training, and now I know for sure that I will never ever be able to be a stay at home mom, lol. I need some structure in my life! I kind of want to start doing like 2 a days or something but I'm not sure how to go about doing that. Morning runs and afternoon lifting? Afternoon swimming? I guess maybe I should start a new thread.

I'm right there with you! I always get excited about the first week of summer break...by the end of the 2nd week I'm dying to get back to work.

I just can NOT with this shit.  A couple of my 7th graders have started calling one of their classmates a f*g and it enrages me.  Our school is trying to do character ed and restorative justice and all of that, but some of these kids are just so incredibly cruel, I don't see it changing.

I just want you both to know that I really admire what you do. I know I couldn't do it. Thanks for trying to make a difference for these kids!

That does sound like a LOT of hoops just to buy booze.... How long will you be there again? I suppose it's not bad to give it up, but it's just crazy to me that you need to have the money, resources, etc to even be ALLOWED to.

Oh my God, that's like my nightmare.

enfuego23 OH HELL NO. That is unacceptable for so many reasons. I know that place is big/popular, but 50 is WAY too many people. I hope they are working on remedying that. Jeez. My former co-worker from Rogue is opening his gym in June and I'm sure he'd love to have you And once I get back from my internship, I'll be working there!

My whine is that I'm on my last week of "bulking" and it sucks. Someone explained that my jeans would feel like sausage casings and my midsection would feel like this biscuits in a can that like burst out when you pop the seal. That person was 100% correct. Next week begins the cut and I am SO ANXIOUS TO JUST START. So tired of feeling so gross.

shellfish26 can you bring a space heater to the office? I had one at my first job, and at my last job I sat with a heating pad in my lap all day. It was glorious.

DH and I are going to try out some other CF boxes this weekend. I like our box but the classes are way too overcrowded for me. WHere is your friend opening a box? I'm so excited for you for your internship!

He's trying to find a location right now.  He had a place in IV lined up, but it fell through.  He's now looking in IV, VV, SN, etc.  He just doesn't want to be too close to GV.

My box caps at 10 and I have never felt like that...I'd be so pissed and would switch immediately.

How in the hell does the coach look at your form if there are 50 people?!?


My whine? I apparently have tendonitis in my foot from running/sprinting more recently (I am not a regular runner and my box's focus for the month IS running).

My foot hurts....bad. I can barely walk.
