16January | today was a cranky day

 

I should have expected that the first day back at work after a long weekend would be painful, but today was especially challenging to get through, for several reasons.

1. I woke up early to do my second 3-miler of the week (first was Monday), even though when my alarm went off at six, I was more tempted than ever to just stay in my nice warm comfy bed and put it off a couple days. However, I can't possibly run tomorrow, as I have evening plans and it's going to be in the teens in the morning, so after about ten minutes of contemplation, I forced myself out of bed and went for my run. And it wasn't very good. I mean, maybe my muscles are just tired, but yesterday and today just didn't flow very well. I was quite upset about it. :(

2. IT IS SO COLD AAAHH

3. So remember what happened with my friend Sam? Last night I decided that I was going to email him to find out what had happened, and I guess I was more agitated than I thought because when I showed what I'd written to a handful of people today, they were all SHOCKED at how mean it was... some used descriptors like "harsh" and "cold." Now, this took me completely by surprise because while I did mean for the email to get my point across, I was actually trying to be somewhat dry and sarcastic about it, which I guess is difficult to convey via email. So I spent all day freaking out about it, worrying that he read it and thought I HATE him, or worse, decided that he HATES me, and am really not feeling much better about it now and wondering if I should try to do anything about it before he (perhaps never) replies. I actually still don't know what to do other than wait a few days and see if he replies, but also see how I feel about it then. I guess I've concluded that if I haven't heard from him by Friday morning I'll give him a call and hope he hasn't blacklisted me.

4. Oh, that's it. That's really the only thing that has truly been plaguing me all day. That, and my legs hurt a lot.

Now I am going to put my cranky self to bed. Hopefully tomorrow will be better even though the high is only going to be 28 and the RealFeel only 20 degrees.
