Can I just say...
- The humidity is killing me. I apparently was not built for this kind of weather. I have been getting up at 5 to do my runs this week but it's still in the upper 70s with 90% humidity at this time of the day. My extreme dislike for these weather conditions seems to cancel out the effects of the endorphin release. I am seriously at my wit's end right now. When I listen to the forecast each day & hear the weatherman say we are in for another day of hot, humid, hazy weather, it exponentially increases my desire to move to Colorado.... because it doesn't get like this in Colorado.
- Sleep evades me. Since I am getting up at 5 to run most days, you would think that I would collapse into bed each night and easily fall asleep. Nope, not the case. Instead, my mind goes into over drive. I think about work stuff. I worry that I am never going to figure out the crochet pattern I am working (seriously, who worries about a hobby?). I toss and turn and curse my body for not falling asleep. I watch the minutes tick by, counting the hours until my alarm will go off. 7 hours. 6 hours. 5 hours. 4 hours... I've tried Tylenol PM and another OTC sleep aid. NOTHING HELPS.
- I just don't enjoy crocheting. See above point about stressing about a pattern... I wanted to like it, I really did. People had told me that you could complete projects much more quickly... Yah, not the case for me. This sort of 'big' project that I took on for my first project will also be my last...
- Also, I just don't like greek yogurt. A gain, I really want to like it, I do. It is chock full of protein which is good for runners. I keep eating it, thinking eventually my taste buds will come around to it. I even have told people - "You should eat greek yogurt, it's so good for you, you'll love it." But I am a fraud - I don't love it. It something about the thickness of it or the bitter taste or something. So I am giving up on it and returning to other yogurts that I enjoy eating, even though their nutritional content is sub par.
- I hate word verification. A couple of weeks ago, Nilsa did a post on things about blogs that sort of annoy her. If you scan the comments, you'll see that no one likes word verification. I especially dislike it when I have to click 'submit' on the comment and then another pop-up comes up requiring word verification...
- I like my personal space. There is a guy at work that crouches down and totally invades my personal space when he asks me questions at work. I am German. Get the hell out of my bubble. It creeps me out.
Whew! I feel much better now! :)
It's my mom's birthday tomorrow so I will be heading up to my parents cabin this weekend to help celebrate! I am looking forward to turning off my phone, consuming blended concoctions made by my mom, catching up on some reading, enlisting the help/advice of my mom on this crochet pattern, playing cribbage with my dad, and only running 11 miles on Sunday.
What is your "Can I Just Say"?
