Some days are good, and others are...well, like today.
So today wasn't exactly the best day. It was tense at work. Arguably more tense at home. And as a result of my chaotic day, my stomach is tied in thousands of knots. But I'm going to focus on happy thoughts, because right now I really need 'em...
So tonight I went over to some friend's for the KU/Colorado basketball game (which my Jayhawks won, thank you very much!)...which was some well-needed down time. They're too funny....they made me this little card with a drawing of me finishing the marathon...attached were 4 Energizer batteries so I could keep "going and going." I absolutely love and it's coming with me to Phoenix as a reminder that there's someone out there cheering for me. It's the little things showing support that are really making a difference this week. Thank god I have some good friends, otherwise I'm not sure I'd be in one piece right now. Dice called to make sure I had been checking the weather forecast and was packing properly...well, the plan was to pack more tonight, which didn't get done. But apparently the forecast is calling for some rain Sunday. Not ideal, but it won't stop me and certainly won't make me melt. And of course, there are countless well wishes at work from colleagues in both Chicago and New York. It's nice to know people are rooting for you, even if it is from afar.
Aside from that, today was designated as my official freak out day. I did rather well...I think. I'm convinced the insanity from my day at work diverted the freak out energy into other things...like...oooh I cannot believe Moody just made that 3-pointer! Okay, bad example, but I'm pretty certain it'll all catch up with me tomorrow. Like I'll be sitting at my desk, working on something...and I'll have my "oh shit" moment...my insides will swell up with nerves, my tounge'll get fat, the room will begin to spin into a dizzying blur and my mentality will be shot for the remainder of the day (sorry Wally, I will do everything in my power to concentrate).
In the meantime, I must go and defunk myself. Cause frankly, I really am in a funky mood...sorta just idle. Not really excited for anything at the moment. Just...sitting here...waiting to get a little attention, but whatever. I tell ya, the tension over here is really putting me in a major funk. Plus I still need to shower, so I guess that totally changes the context of "defunk." Maybe a shower will make the last 55 minutes of today go better? Let's find out.

ps...once this marathon is over, I'm getting my butt in a Bikram Yoga class. I have GOT to find a way to de-stress myself better. Running helps...but I think yoga will really help me mellow out.
