I took my dogs to the vet today. I left $748 poorer. WTF?? Last
year, I am certain I didn't spend that much on their annual exam.
Maybe $300? Whatever. It's like I just get ahead and get slammed
again with something else unexpected. Cry. Bitch. Whine.I am running the Chicago Shamrock Shuffle (Worlds Largest 8K with
40,000 runners) in two weeks. I am not prepared at all. I lost almost
two months of training because of pneumonia followed by another bronchial
infection. I don't even want to do it anymore. It's the first 8K I've
ever run (I'm a swimmer and a biker and a walker/jogger - I've never
been a "runner" - it's a relatively new (and clearly insane) goal....) but wow, I am so
discouraged. Had I been able to stick with my training program and not
gotten sick, I had planned to finish it in just over an hour. Now, it
may take me over two because I am sure I won't be able to actually
"run" more than half if that even. I have to do it tho. I'm a quitter if I don't. And I quit too much. It shouldn't matter that I can't run it in the time I wanted. I should just do it to do it and get it behind me. But I don't want to.WOW, I'm a gigantic whiner tonight.
On that miserably moody note, methinks I should go to bed and just start a new day tomorrow. Need to remember my little piddly stupid things are nothing real to worry about, like getting blow up by an IED missile in Iraq....and then ending up in shit veteran hospital care. I think about those guys over there every day, and it infuriates me that we continue to put them in that danger. However, I will save my politcal soapbox for another day.....
Bitch bitch, Whine whine.
g'night night....
