A Rough Start

11/1/2018

Good morning, Readers!
Picture
This image cracked me up so much this morning. I was having a rough time of it, and I looked up the tag "grumpy." This is what showed up. I laughed. Morning is no longer so bad. Thanks to deviantart.com user jesterry for improving my mood. Click the image to go to the page.
This morning was a shit storm of stupidity.  Actually, it wasn't that bad.  I'm being dramatic.  What this morning was, was a series of small inconveniences that added up into creating a colossal irritation.

First, the weather.  It's not raining yet, thank goodness, but the footpath is slippery AF and I nearly wiped out getting to the bus stop.  The bus was only a little late, but late enough that I missed my connection, which was early.  I took a different bus that meant a little more walking, but it wasn't the worst.  Except that I nearly wiped out twice on the way to the gym.  The slower pace necessary, plus the longer distance meant that I was a little later getting to the gym than I'd like.

Still, I went for my half hour run... Only to have one shoelace come undone during one of the run things.  I had to stop.  Then, I accidentally hit the emergency stop button (now I know what that red thingy in the centre of the bottom of the treadmill screen does), catching my phone as it fell. Again.  Then, my other shoelace came undone and I had to stop running again or risk my neck.  For the record, double knots are not as secure as they would lead you to believe.  Fuckers.

It was a bad run.

But I did it.

I managed to get most of my frustration out during the weights session.  But honestly, I cannot wait for martial arts training to start again.  There is nothing like punching the shit out of stuff to get rid of all your frustrations.

Part of this, is, I think, my fault.  I did stay up later than usual streaming Assassin's Creed Origins.  I think I will have to cut back from four hour streams to three hour streams in order to get enough sleep.  That will help with the crankiness, I think.  With my new schedule, eleven o'clock is too late for me to get to bed.

I'm disappointed with this morning, as yesterday was such a good day.  I got my video editing done, went for a swim, wrote two thousand words, and hung out with friends while I mucked around in ancient Egypt.  It was a really good day.

*grumble*

Anyway, now that I've eaten breakfast, I'm much less cranky, but still really looking forward to training starting again. I miss punching and kicking stuff.

And pretty sure I'm going to bed as soon as I get home tonight.

In happier news, though, I'm pretty sure I'm almost done writing Soldier.  There are just a few more scenes to go.  Then I get to go back and do a shit tonne of editing.  Yay?

I hope your morning was way better than mine.

​Ciao!
