Keep calm and drink wine

Ohhh I wish I had some wine right now! I could definitely use a glass... or two today. It has been, without a doubt, Monday. That is for sure!!

So, last night I had planned on going to bed at a reasonable time so I could get up early this morning and go work out. Well, I took some Excedrin PM which helps with headaches but it is also a sleeping aide. And yes, I realize sleeping pills can be addicting. However, I'm not one of those people who give 2 shits about that. I would rather get a good nights sleep and wake up feeling rested and in a good mood than sleep like hell, wake up every hour on the hour, then be a raging bitch the next day. Not only is it good for my health, it's good for those who have to be around me too. Anyway, took sleeping pills around 8PM figuring I would be in bed by 10. Well, I was in bed by 10... But for some reason I still ended up being super restless ALL night. I wasn't up every hour on the hour, but I was up every couple of hours or so, neither dog slept with me all night (which I didn't like since I'm used to them being right up against me), I kept itching like crazy, then I'd toss and turn and toss and turn, then I'd get itchy again, then my sweats got tangled around my legs... It was just a bizarre night! And as far as I know it wasn't a full moon. At least if it was, I'd feel better about how the night went.

So I had already woken up in a cranky mood because of how I slept last night. But I also wanted to work out this morning, but didn't because of the shitty sleep. Then I get to school only to find that my math professor had jury duty today, and sent a sub in. Which would seem fantastic, but she has the same teaching style as him. Which is NOT good, I might add. Then after Math I had my English class which wasn't too bad. We watched a short film that was made from a short story we were supposed to have read over the weekend. (I didn't read it) But all in all English wasn't too bad today.

Since I wasn't able to work out this morning, I took my gym bag with me to school today with all my gym clothes in it so I would go straight from school to the gym. I figured if I stopped home first, I would just stay. Well, after my English class, I was beyond ready to hurry up and get to the gym! Go figure, a coca~cola truck was parked RIGHT behind me, blocking me in. I had to wait 10 minutes for someone to finally come out and leave. what really irks me about that is in the same parking lot, and even closer to the building he was in, was a row of EMPTY handicap parking spaces... UMMMM HELLO?!?! Sigh...

And there's the pic of the lovely coke truck blocking my (blue) car in...

I did finally get outta there... On my way to the gym I called the vision center to see if my glasses had arrived since they were supposed to be here today. They had arrived, but had a crack in one of the lenses so they had to send it back out. I'm actually kinda bummed, I would like to have my new glasses in already! Not only that, but I'm kinda irritated that they didn't call me and tell me that... If they told me that they would be here today, and they were, but had an issue, I would have appreciated a phone call from someone telling me the situation. Sooooo... Once at the gym everything was just dandy. I am oh so very out of shape at the moment. Which I figured I would be, as I haven't worked out in around 7 months. But, I am surprised at how out of shape I really am... Goodness!! I only worked our for 20 minutes and I thought I was about to die!!! I ran on the treadmill for 2 mins then walked for 2, then ran for 2 then walked for 2... Then I did 2 sets of 15 squats, and 2, 1 minute planks. And I am absolutely BEAT!!

On a far better note, and I'm sure this isn't the first time and probably not the last time I say this, but I easily have the best in-laws EVER! My mother-in-law in particular is who I wanna talk highly of tonight. Though my father-in-law is pretty great also. My MIL called me last night to see how school was going, and to see if I had gotten my appt with a gyno here in town, and to see if I had the funds to go, and also to see if I had the funds to last me until next month when I will receive my "left over" money from the pell grant for this semester. I really did get so lucky when I met Brad, and married him and his family. I feel like a lot of times I have really shitty luck, because a lot of times I do, but I definitely got lucky in that department at least! Even his dad, my father-in-law, would do anything for me. Even though he may not have a lot, and even though his health isn't fabulous. He would still help me out first, before helping himself. I really don't know what I did to deserve these kinds of people in my life, but I am so very glad that they are there and that they love and care about me, even though I'm not their actual daughter.

And with that, I had better get off of here and go write my paragraph on the short story/movie from today!!
