I managed to pretty much agitate my entire family as I grumbled and grouched my way into Monday morning this week. After a reasonably successful week last week I was swamped this morning by the fear. The only thing that really got me into school bright and early this morning was the even greater fear that if i didn't get there fast I might not get there at all and if that happened I may never return. I do wonder how many people have only turned up on a Monday morning because they are terrified that the overwhelming urge just to crawl under the duvet and have a quiet breakdown might kick in and take over.
Anyway the point is this. Inevitably, I did go to work and the reality is actually my day was ok. I felt a little tired and a bit sniffly, but hey, here I am on Monday night. I'm still alive, I made it through and in spite of my doubts I did ok. I guess I probably can make it through this week after all. But no promises for next Monday!
By the way made it to the swimming pool on Sunday. As I plunged through the water and the familiar rhythmic sound of breath and movement in the water gently lulled my twitchy brain I was forced to ask , Why have I not come for so long? I really hope I remember that when I'm persuading myself to go next week.
Happy week people, keep going and the monentum will gather and before we know it we'll be in that sweet short lived blissful moment on a Saturday when we realise it isn't a work day.
Yes, yes and yes! Congratulations on your swimming excursion...very impressed! I too am familiar with the Monday morning feeling, although mine seems to begin at around 7pm on a Sunday evening! Just managed to muster up the brain power for PPA today, but strangely got a second wind at around 4.30, so feel quite productive. Time to stop now. Love the blog! Oh, no cycling as yet this week. Few logistic issues.
