- yesterday was such a frustrating day at work that if i thought it would help i would have cried, and
- determined not to miss session with my trainer due to work drama, i decided i would go work out and then come back to the office, so
- when i got to the gym, I begged my trainer to make it "leg day" so i could box for my cardio intervals (i never ASK for it to be leg day), and
- we boxed AND she brought out the leg pad so i could try and knock her over with some roundhouse kicks as well, and
- I tried to beat the pulp out of her, and even though she managed to stay upright i still managed to get out a LOT of my frustration, so
- even though I came back to the office and was here until 9:45, I felt better, but
- despite having exhausted myself at work and the gym, I couldn’t sleep last night, so
- I’m working on about 4 hours of sleep, and
- despite the fact that I was at the station well on time for the 7:00 train, the notice boards said everything was running about 7 minutes late, so I ran upstairs to get a desperately needed latte, but
- when I was casually coming back down the stairs, i heard the platform announcer say "...woking..." and saw the doors on MY TRAIN closing and the train started pulling away just as I stepped onto the platform (because the train in front was so late they bumped my train in front of it, my train arrived and was on it's way out of the station, all in the 3 minutes - literally, I’ve timed it - I was gone to get the blasted caffeine), so
- I had to sit on the platform like a lump, but since I was already "late", i decided to take another train that requires me to switch trains halfway to woking, which I’ve never taken before (but meant waiting for my next train to stop at wimbledon station for 12 minutes instead of 30) and still got to the office before 8:00, and now
- I’m on my fourth cup of coffee and I’m going to be a bouncing-off-the-walls maniac before the day is over just to keep myself awake, and
- despite the fact that i'm pre-tired for tomorrow, I have PROMISED myself I’m going to meet up with some friends i haven't seen in a month tonight, and
- i will only have myself to blame tomorrow.

Dove, you don't sound so much like a psycho, just the normal Keprta y thoughts. You really are the calm one in this bunch. :) At least you don't go "brandon" on anyone when you are in the frustrated mode.
Mom
I think the coffee is already in the bloodstream...
very nice- by now it is quite late and you should be sleeping, but in case you aren't, be sure to get an extra shot of espresso in your latte so that you will then be "pre-wired" for the day!
Your adventure on trains with lattes sounds way cooler than my adventure to the med center on Metro buses.
I'm still jealous. Even if it was a bad day.
And I'm so proud of you for making kicking a priority in life.
I've been inspired!
love you much.
I wish I'd made boxing AND kicking a priority in life long ago. It is SO great to really punch something with everything you've got to give and for it to be OK to do so.
Such a well crafted post... I mean I could almost hear you saying it all in a manner that is similar to Kramer in the episode where he gets free lattes and is totally wired.
