Bouncing Back

This week has been a tough one for me so I am happy to say that we are almost 2 days away from the weekend (and one day away from my Friday and Saturdays off!).  I was already feeling like this week was going to be a busy one, working every day and being on your feet for 5 hours every night will take a lot out of you.  That, coupled with the stress of finding a job for next year and preparing for grad school apps put me in a defeated, grumpy mood Tuesday afternoon.  You know, those moods where you don't want to do anything, don't care how anything turns out and get annoyed at any question, person, request.  When I came home Tuesday night I was still upset but determined to turn this week around and stop being a brat.  I really don't like having a plan so the thought of having things up in the air beginning next month is really hard for me to handle, so I decided to stop complaining and do something about it.  So, I made a plan.  It may not be a long term one, but I made a plan with lists of things to do the next day, the next week, the next month, etc.  Instead of complaining and being sour, I will be doing.  I am bouncing back.

Today was a lot better!  I am still really busy and tired with work and all that I have to do, but I feel more in control.  I came home at my lunch break today and busted out some work.  I came right home from work and immediately went on a 4 mile run.  After I realizing that I didn't workout Tuesday I came to the conclusion that the lack of exercise had something to do with my bad mood as well.  Working out is a great way to clear my head, especially when I am stressed.

Moral of the story, sometimes things are going to be unclear, not go the way you planned, and just be freaking annoying.  I can either sit around feeling annoyed and sorry for myself, or start doing something.  No, I won't get instant gratification from this, but life's a marathon, not a race.
