I’ve been awake since just before 2am this morning. That means I’ve been up nearly 20 hours now. I couldn’t sleep because all of this stupid shit was rattling through my brain.
The Eyeroll: So. Sunny D, my coworker and I have had a difference in opinion on something that we both have been working on (different parts of the same project, and they intersect). I thought I was being helpful when I’d chime in on certain parts of conversations that I’d hear taking place (we work in an open space), but yesterday I guess I’d butted in one too many times. I wanted to tell her something, so I said something out loud and as I was walking toward her desk, I caught her making the BIGGEST EYEROLL I’ve ever seen! I was only trying to be helpful because she’d asked me lots and lots of questions about the issue at hand, so I was taken off guard when I saw her do that. She tried to play it off, but we’ve all been there, right? It’s so funny how things are SO much bigger at night than they are in the light of day, but that consumed an embarrassingly huge amount of my optimal sleep time. And the fact of the matter is, I used to be the boss of her position and now I’m not and I guess that has me rattled as well.
The Trump:I mean, where do I even start? I don’t want to get started because this could keep me awake all night tonight as well. I’m just…I just can’t. I was so bothered that I even broke my silence with Secret Agent Man, asking his opinion of the whole things. Don’t even get me started there. Both of these men are only into themselves.
The Offsite Brainstorming Session: I have to lead a brainstorm session next week and I’m stressed about what I’m going to have prepared. Again, in the dead of night things seem so much more IMPOSSIBLE than in the light of day. Look. It’s a brainstorming session. Everyone is supposed to come with a fresh and open mind, ready to throw ideas into the ring. While I’m the one leading this session, I don’t have to have a year’s worth of stuff all ready to throw out there! Relax a little, Ginger.
My Long-Lost Sister and the Set-Up: Related to above, I’ve scheduled this all-day meeting at an offsite office space, and I went there last Friday to check out the set-up of this office. While I was reserving the awesome conference room (complete with view!), I had to give the receptionist my information. Turns out, we have the same unusual last name - spelled and pronounced exactly the same! We laughed because we actually couldn’t look more different - different race, different features, different heights, etc., but we loved calling each other sister! We loved it so much that we have kept in touch on social media AND!!! She’s already set me up on a blind date!!! That’s right - I’m going out with one of the attorneys who sometimes office there and do depositions there. We’re having lunch on Friday at a restaurant close to both of our offices. Crazy, right? I suppose crazier things have happened.
My Possibly Malfunctioning Thyroid: I finally figured out how to access my online medical records after months of not knowing what my blood tests revealed. Over the weekend I was able to get into the portal and access my results and I found that the tests show issues with my thyroid that the doctor wants to discuss with me. You bet your sweet ass I have made an appointment for as quickly as I can get in (next month) and have been doing research. I’m sure this is why I have struggled so damn hard to lose weight with very little success (though I’m very happy with what’s been happening with my current workout plan as well as most of my current eating habits). I don’t know that I want to go a medication route - it’s supposed to be something that I may have to be on for life and that scares the shit out of me. But I’m not sure until I talk with the doc. I hope that maybe it’s not so bad, but again…I will worry about this until I know.
The Fact that I Had to GET UP in Two Hours: Yeah, I rolled around in my bed for two solid hours, checking my phone and worrying and fretting about everything, and before I knew it, my 4am alarm was going off, signaling time to get up and dressed for the 4:30am torture class that I love so much. Yes, I still love it. Yes, it’s still painfully hard to get up so early. You guys woudn’t believe how many people show up for this damn class! Today there was a waitlist of 5 or 6 people. The class was overflowing! How does this happen? Who ARE you crazies?
Perhaps we all just stayed up all night and fretted.
