I'm in a hurry to get things done.

"I'm in a hurry to get things done, oh I rush and rush until life's no fun. All I've really gotta do is live and die, but I'm in a hurry and don't know why..."

Sometimes that's how I feel. I start my morning as slow as I possibly can because I know the minute I walk out the door I'm going to feel rushed by everything. For no particular reason, other than the fact that I'm probably a total nut. I speed to class, even though I know I'm going to be there early regardless. In class I want the teacher to talk as fast as I can take notes so that there's no worry that I will be late to my next class, which I won't be anyways. I speed to work, even though I leave heaps earlier than I really need to to get there on time. I even walk fast (which always gets pointed out to me) when I have absolutely nothing to do or anything to be walking to. That however is from when I was kid and it was hard for me to keep up with my dad whilst walking at a normal pace, so I adapted... it's either irrelevant or hereditary.

Ironically though, when I go running, even though I'm running and I'm moving fast, I don't feel at all like I'm in a hurry. I can take a cool down, and be happy about it, I can stop and stretch and relax... and I think that's why I like it so much.

I got off work tonight right on time, and even though I knew I was going to get up early, I wanted to be tired for bed. In a good way though, I wanted to feel good, so I could sleep good, and so I went for a run. Since most of my running clothes are black (no one wants sweat to show!) I also leashed up the dog because her collar is amazingly reflective... plus dogs are good late night rape prevention.
I ran for a good, well deserved, and amazingly satisfying hour and a half. Then I came home, had some water, did sit ups, did stretches, did push ups... and now I'm here just because I feel so good about it.

Plus, I also feel super accomplished today because I found about 6 awesome alternatives to butter and margarine that are both good and good for you to use on my new diet. I feel confident about it :]
and I'm already planning on making this amazing vegetable stir fry next week. White wine style. aandd tasty.

Well this one ends like usual, I hardly remember what the F I'm talking about.
oh well
smile!
