My Life Thus Far

Really, Truly, Absolutely

I've come to the conclusion that there really, truly, absolutely is NOTHING on this planet as bad as I talk myself into believing it will be. So, with that in mind, I need to stop being so fearful of the unknown. I build stuff up in my head to catastrophic proportions and then when the time comes to face it, I'm always left thinking to myself "well, that wasn't so bad".

For example: This morning I had to go into the Haselwood temporary office to fill out some paperwork. I don't know what I thought the paperwork was going to be, but I was totally freaked out about it! Even though I just did the whole enchilada of YMCA new hire paperwork just a few months ago (how different could it be, right?). It was three little papers, took me all of 15 minutes to fill out. One was a change of duties form (adding Health Coach onto my Fitness Assistant title), the second was an emergency contacts form (one at Bremerton, one at Haselwood. Makes sense) and the last was some kind of getting to know you form. It asked me random stuff like, what's my favorite color/ice cream/book/store. That took the longest to fill out. I got stuck on my favorite quote. I went with Amor Vincit Omnia (Love Conquers All in Latin). I figured that had to be my favorite, since I've got it tattooed on my arm (as does Snookums).

It turned out to be a good thing I skipped the gym yesterday. I killed it today! I picked up a pair of 15 pound dumb bells and they seriously felt light as feathers! A little recovery time was needed. Same for my quads and hamstrings, because I was able to leg press 250 pounds, where as last week I could only manage 225. That's some major improvement. Recovery time is a good thing, I need to embrace it :)

I just got home from shuttling Keenan back and forth to therapy. I work at VS at 4pm, so I might right later (I'll probably write later).
