I’m not sure why I’m so damn surly today. Could be having to sit in a mechanic’s waiting room for 4.5 hours yesterday (I’m not mad about being there, it’s just difficult sitting in a mechanic’s office for that long) or the fact that I’m taking a week off starting next Thursday to do the office redecorating project. Between being sick two days last week and having to take yesterday off* to deal with the car issue that required me to be at the mechanic’s office for 4.5 hours and the fact that I have a metric shitton of work I need to get done BEFORE I go on vacation, I’m a bit spread thin and it’s stressing me out.

Also, add the perpetual “having to make coffee” when the coffee drinkers of the office GET HERE BEFORE ME** every damn day and being pulled in 19 different directions by co-workers today and being pulled away from the metric shitton of work, I’m getting a bit snappy.

The workout regime has been going well so far. It got to the point last night during my cross training class (after I had run for 2 miles) when I was silently telling myself “those people that went to the Olympics didn’t puss out when doing pushups!” It seemed to help.

I think I’ll have to go to the gym tonight and get another run (or maybe some weights) in because exhausting myself seems to be the only thing to soothe the crabby beast.

* I’m not crabby about having to take yesterday off to get Tim’s car fixed. It was the most logical choice: I have PTO to use and didn’t have any meetings yesterday, while Tim had to work and go to class and he didn’t have the time to spare.

** I ended up going to Caribou for a coffee because I’ll be damned if I’m going to make coffee today. I also needed to get away from my desk for a moment and work on my calm. SERENITY NOW!
