Need I Say More?

Have you ever had one of those days where no matter what you do, it just keeps getting worse? I swear, I opened my eyes this morning and it was instantaneously a bad day. I'm as positive as people come, but even I had a hard time getting myself out of the funk I woke up in. By the end of the, I just gave up and came to accept that sometimes everyone just has an off day.

I couldn't even pull myself together enough to go to the gym. Keenan has speech therapy at 11:30am Monday's, Tuesday's and Thursday's. If I don't get up and get my ass in gear, I don't have enough time to get a decent workout in. By 9:30am I still wasn't dressed, so I said "fuck it, why bother". Missing one day won't kill me, but of course all day I kept kicking myself for not mustering up the will to go. I probably would have felt happier for it. I've never left the gym in a bad mood.

I dropped Keenan off at therapy and decided to take myself to Starbucks for lunch. I do this every Tuesday and Thursday. I get a tall skinny caramel macchiato and the tomato, basil, mozzarella panini and I sit and either facebook or space out. Well, when I got there today, it was PACKED! Everyone and their mama was in there (and it's a small Starbucks). All I could think was "the ONE day I needed to sit and decompress, the place is packed like a can of sardines". There wasn't a single seat in the place. So I took my coffee and panini and sat in my car in the parking lot and listened to the radio.

After my sad lunch I figured I'd go to Target and stroll around for a bit. I love Target. Next to Victoria's Secret, it's my favorite store. I stepped inside and was instantly sad :( Their remodeling our Target and it doesn't look like it used to. They painted the entry way walls red and everything is moved around in away that makes no sense. Everyone was confused, so people were standing around, some were irritated, which made me more irritated. Well, that didn't work. I left. The remodel is supposed to be complete June 5th. That's a long time before order gets restored. I'm going to miss my old store, but I am excited about them having a produce department. That would be great!

I had a little bit of time between picking Keenan up and work, so I was able to improve my mood a little. I still felt like I was trying. I wasn't naturally happy, I was making myself put on a happy face for customers. I hate doing that. It doesn't feel natural, because lately I've been happy without forcing it.

It's over now. Bad day NO MORE! Tomorrow will be exceptional, because I will make it so. The good thing about this bad day? I know what caused it and this too shall pass (PMS - need I say more?) Oh! I did have one really happy moment. My hydration belt came in the mail!! Now I can run longer and harder! I haven't been running more than 6 miles outside because I get too dehydrated and I hate carrying a water bottle in my hands. Now I've got a solution that will help me improve and grow as a runner. I'm thinking I should start training for a marathon... hmmm :)
