arthur_p_dentI'm not having a particularly good day today, but I will strive to keep that from spilling over into my post. At least the coffee is good.
Last week held some promise as far as social things were concerned, but I'm not entirely sure how I feel about how it all turned out. St. Patrick's Day coincided with run club, but for some reason the evening felt underwhelming. The music, food, and beer were all good, but it seemed to be another one of those times where I felt like I wasn't really part of the group anymore. Honestly, if that is the case, I wish someone would just tell me so I could get past it and move on. Of course, it could be me reading too much into things again too - I do have a bad habit of transferring one spiral into other situations. I guess for now I'll try to be more objective when I read the room, and at least get a better idea if it's just in my head.
Friday curling wasn't too bad, but I was feeling really tired all night and didn't enjoy the game as much as I should have considering several friends were playing in the same game. I had to make it a fairly early night too, because I was playing in a tournament the next morning. It was a glow in the dark event (I played in the same one last year), and again, it should have been more fun than it was. I think we got too focused on trying to win, rather than on having a fun day. I'll play again next year, and hopefully I can remember to focus on having a good time.
Sunday I was really behind on my weekend chores, and I didn't get nearly enough done either. I ended up doing some of it this morning since I was up far too early (second night in a row of terrible sleep), but there's still more to do. So far I haven't started beating myself up for taking a day to do something enjoyable, which is nice.
Work is much the same. I had a project to do that ate a couple days, which was a nice change of pace from the usual daily boredom. I still hear bits and pieces of office gossip about plants being sold off, and I know that it's not just rumour. But, there's not much I can do about that until something actually happens.
I took last week off running entirely. It took a few days for my foot to stop bothering me, and I figured a few extra days of rest would be a good thing. Less than three weeks to go, and I'm not worried about being able to complete the distance, so I'll take it easy and not push as hard as I have been. I also went looking at shoes and got some good advice for my next pair of trainers. Once my spring races are over I'll go do some shopping, and hopefully I can avoid having this injury crop up again.
Well, while this has been a very welcome diversion on an otherwise lousy morning, I see on my work phone that the computer systems are back up, so back to the office I go. Hopefully the first full week of spring is full of good weather and enjoyable days for all. Until next time. =]
