How’s your week of running going? Got any Complaints? Anything to add as a Confession? How about any Uncomplaints?
Complaint: Darkness at like 5pm is messing with my head. And it’s messing with the cats, they are all looking at me at 5pm and saying “yo dad, it’s dinner time, feed us!”
Uncomplaint: Trying to put together a workout plan, to do some leg/core strength exercises. I just need to find the time to actually do the workout. We put down a rubber floor in the basement, so I’ve got a nice place to do the workout. Just not enough time in the day…
Uncomplaint: My son has at least three soccer games this weekend, and they are early, so I’m probably going to miss both weekend runs. Which is not bad! My body still kind of hates me after the marathon, so I’m (mostly) fine taking some additional rest. Maybe I’ll try those leg/core workouts…
Uncomplaint: Floor refinishing class was good and I feel somewhat confident I can do my floor project.
Complaint: Tool library sander is on loan so I will need to rent from Home Depot which is going to be like $500 for the two tools I need. But, certainly less expensive than having someone else do it.
Confession: Having a moment of feeling a little bit intimidated by my house projects but hopefully once I get going, I’ll feel better.
Complaint #2: I messed up my knee pulling carpet and staples. I think it’s from sitting with my leg bent on the floor? Feels like the dumbest injury. Luckily it doesn’t hurt all the time.
Unrelated side note: I finished watching Everything Now on Netflix and I am low-key so excited to see such a refreshing and more accurate representation of eating disorders on the “big screen.” I don’t recommend watching if you are active in ED or newly in recovery, but I’ll also say that it’s such an honest portrayal of the struggle and it is probably not too triggering. I thought it was very good and would be interested to hear other thoughts.
Uncomplaining: it snowed!
Complaint: the roads are a terrible mess I made it a quarter mile before turning around and heading home.
Complaint: this means I’ll have to take some unpaid time or work overtime next week.
Confession: part of me wants to just stay home all day today
