I hate to be a whiner when I have it so good... clean water, a place to live, hot showers in the morning, food when I want it, family and friends who love me... but sometimes you just need to express a little frustration.
I was dragging @$$ all day today and it was one of those days where I could tell there wouldn't be enough to organically keep me busy...this leads to a lot of messing around on the internet and doing my picture shuffle puzzle on my laptop. Also copious amounts of yawning. By the end of the day I was doing whatever I could to keep busy and taking my time so I wouldn't have to make up more stuff to do. I answered an e-mail asking my opinion on one of the suppliers I work with in respect to letting them bid on new stuff and I got a response that basically told me "Thanks for playing but you're WRONG but keep at it kiddo!" I laid it out in the e-mail that I had little history and couldn't really speak to the issue with any depth. I shouldn't be annoyed by this--it's not news--but here's what gets me...WHY ARE YOU ASKING IF YOU ALREADY KNOW THE ANSWER? And I know there's no tone of voice in e-mail but I could swear there was a condescending twang on that one. Maybe I'm in some kind of hormonal swing or something because that shouldn't have ruffled my feathers but consider me sufficiently ruffled.
Which brings us to my post-work jog. I have been so proud of my feet for being such troopers and not killing me with their complete lack of anything resembling an arch. Until today. I guess days off over the weekend coupled with the extra three minutes was more than my spatulas could handle. I hope this week will go like last week and get better each time I run... but I'm afraid I'll just have it worse next week because I'll be on the road on Friday and I won't likely get a chance to run. Dang it! How am I supposed to convince my soft self that I really CAN run if I don't keep forcing myself to prove it?
Ok now let's take another moment to be grateful.
1) I am eating MEAT again! I had a burger for lunch and oh how I have missed burgers. Bacon and I need to reunite ASAP also... Happy Easter season everyone!
2) The weather was AMAZING today. Ok it's Colorado and most days come with AMAZING weather but some days it just REALLY hits the spot.
3) I'm going to eat a chocolate bunny for desert. Is there a happier desert? I think not. Ok I probalby won't eat the whole thing but that means I'll have 1/2 a chocolate bunny to eat later. So much happiness you gotta spread it out.
In conclusion, Mondays can go fly a kite for all I care (Mom I'm trying to keep things PG here and I hope you appreciate that)... except if the weather is this good...then I'll suck it up.
