Glimpse of the other side

Isn’t it great to have peeps that keep you in line?

Last night, my improv buddies were quick to point out that I was a little…grumpy that evening. I was asked if I had had a bad day. Reflexively I said “no”, which was true. It had been more like two and a half bad days. I didn’t really notice that I was being grumpy, but I’m sure glad they did.

I want to say I’m really sorry. Every little thing has gotten on my last nerve, and I've been a little snippy at just about everyone. One after another things have seemed to topple out of place. The show on Tuesday night got cancelled, the Christmas play got cancelled, my relationship with my dad is a little rocky, I’m somewhere on the brink of some kind of cold, and I’m incredibly tired. So much so that I didn’t swim earlier Thursday. I’m not blaming any of these situations. And swimming shouldn’t be my only anger outlet.

Last night, having had a Starbucks Frappuccino, Dr. Pepper and a Dum-dum at the same time, I was on a little sugar high and…oh, I don’t know. No excuses.

Maybe it’s good that we might be taking a break from improv. Maybe God’s saying we all need some “straighten up” time. I’m pointing the finger at myself, here, not at anyone else.

All of that to say, I really appreciate Jeremy and Dean
(and whoever else was there) pointing my attitude out to me.

Since this is a fitness blog (well, it's supposed to be, anyway) I will proceed to say something insightful about fitness. *ahem*

Four score and seven minutes ago Bill and Ted…um, wait.

My lower back hurts. I think it was all those backbends I was doing yesterday.

Thank you for tuning in. I shall now go eat some clam chowder.

Hey Jess,

I have to say being born after 1990 (I assume) you've got the spirt of a child of the 80's. Aerosmith, Pink Floyd, quoting "Bill and Ted" and "Hitchiker's Guide". It's like I'm reading a blog of someone I grew up with. Needless to say, this 80's fanboy is impressed.

It's okay to have bad days and I hope you weren't hurt by us commenting. You prevailed though by showing up and releasing all that pent up energy. Keep up the good work!

The answer is 42.

You did seem alittle down when you arrived Thursday. I think the sugar helped us all!

I like your blog. I can relate to some of it. Freaky huh, since I'm 40.

I don't drink coffee or exercise enough. I wish I did, exercise more that is. Then maybe I could lose those 10 pounds I can't seem to shake.

Keep up the work with the blog. It is a good outlet for your writing and a way to share your thoughts.

Just watch out for the predators on the internet.
