On top of the World!

Ok so as you know last week I was totally annoyed. I was annoyed with work, with guys, with life, stupid reality tv shows, and just little things that shouldn't have been a big deal. I was in a funk and in a crappy mood. I don't know what was going on with me. But thankfully I got out of it!

It all started with last weekend. A friend of mine came to stay with me. We had signed up to run a 5K on Saturday morning. (I have run 10K's and a half marathon, and this was my first 5K! Crazy I know....I mean I run 5K's like 3-4 times a week, just not as a race but as my usual run) I was excited! And my time, for me, wasn't bad, 10 minutes and 20 seconds, not a great time for some people but it was surely a great one for me. I was happy! And there is nothing better than the feeling you get after you accomplish such a thing either. You feel on top of the world and feel really good. You just get this "high" after you run a race, no matter what the distance is. And it feels amazing!

Later that same day I went to a couple's shower for some really good friends of mine who are getting married tomorrow. It was really good getting to see everyone and hang out with great friends, not to mention one other person in particular....(not going into that right now though). The only thing was that I couldn't stay late, I had to leave and get home because I had to work the next morning, boo! I had to work on Sunday.

Surprisingly I woke up to get ready for work and was still in a good mood. Work was busy to start with but nothing I couldn't handle. Both Sunday and Monday were good days, nothing annoyed me, nothing to complain about.

Tuesday was another really good day. I just woke up in a fabulous mood and felt like I was on top of the world. I felt like I could have accomplished ANYTHING! I don't know where all of this good energy was coming from, but I'm not complaining, I love it! I went and ran that afternoon with a friend and I felt like I could have gone on forever! I love those days! The amazing fall weather and cool air coming off of the river we run next too probably helped, but I think my amazingly happy mood had something to play into it as well.

The rest of the week pretty much went the same way, and I'm still in a great mood this morning. There is just something about the little moments when you are in a great mood that makes you appreciate them more. Like last night I met some of my favorite people for dinner and drinks on a patio after work. Ending the day with people you love can't get any better, especially when you have friends like mine. It just makes you feel lucky. Knowing you have people there for you no matter what occurs in life is comforting. I truly have the greatest friends in the world and I know I can count on them when it comes to ANYTHING! I am one really luck girl!

My good mood is still here, and I'm gonna try to not let it fade away. Life is too short to be in a bad mood and unhappy. I'm heading to Perry, GA tomorrow for a wedding. I'm going to celebrate with lots of great peeps and we will have a fabulous time. I don't think my funk will be able to come back anytime soon!

Have a HAPPY weekend!

Love ya,

Annoyed...

Ok so I've just been totally annoyed for like the past two days. It all started with work yesterday. First off I had to work on Labor day...who wants to work a holiday weekend? Then they had to let three nurses go home because our census was low, we had no patients. No one wants to be in the hospital on Labor day, not even sick people. Of course I wasn't even considered, why you ask? Because I have been there for a year but not as part of this unit. I started on the unit that combined with another unit to make the current unit that now exists and they treat me like I have no seniority. Even with the older nurses who have only been there for like 4 weeks. Annoying!! So I had to take over everyone else's patients and finish the work that they didn't do.

Then I came home to watch Bachelor Pad, which I love, but they sent the wrong couple home! Kovacs and Elizabeth are a much bigger threat than Peyton and Jesse. I love Kovacs, but Elizabeth is crazy and gets on my nerves and I don't know why Kovacs is even with her. I also love Peyton and Jesse, but Jesse is just weird and gross sometimes. But I think Peyton and Jesse should have had a little bit longer to try and stay in the game. Elizabeth and Kovacs have a stronger relationship than the others because they have been together the longest, but I really hope that it doesn't allow them to win. I would really love it if Tenley and Kiptyn win and I hope they stay a couple. They are just too cute together.

And well today I've been annoyed too. So today I was supposed to work, but I got a phone call at 5 am saying they were going to push me back. That was great because I got to get extra sleep! Score! So I called back around 8 am to ask when I may need to come in. She said she was going to push me back until 11, and to call her at 11 if I hadn't heard from her. Well that gave me 3 hours. I couldn't really go anywhere or do very much just in case I had to go in, I mean she could have called at any moment, so that wasn't very good. 11:00 rolls around and nada, no phone calls. So I call her back hoping to hear ok you don't have to come in today, but NO! Instead she says she is pushing me back until 1:00!! REALLY?! I'm supposed to just spend the day waiting around to know if I have to go to work or not! So not ok with me! Again I can't really go anywhere or do anything! Finally 1:00 arrives and she called to say that I was off and didn't have to come in. Well thanks so much for letting me have a day off to be productive!

Once it was determined with 100% certainty that I didn't have to work I got productive. I cleaned my patio, and my bathroom. I read some of my book (I'm reading Baby Proof, and I LOVE it so far!) , got my car washed and signed up for a 5K for Saturday morning. Then I went and ran this evening and I think all my frustration helped my run. I ran 3 miles in 29 minutes! It's a new record for me. Now that actually happening again is probably very slim, but I can hope. But I should be working on distance first, and then work on my speed/time later.

I'm hoping that tomorrow I'll wake up in a better mood with no complaints and not be annoyed. I think I've just been in a funk for a few days and I need to snap out of it!

Love ya,
