Thoughts.

People are stupid and say stupid things.  I'm guilty of it too.  But I try like hell to empathize and think before I speak.   

I'm too sensitive.  I've never been this sensitive.  Ever.  Someone more or less questioned my parenting today, and I let it ruin the rest of my day.  I need to try and figure out how not to be so sensitive.  I have a few ideas. 

Thank God I'm exercising.  If I didn't have running and feeling good about myself in that aspect, I'd probably be in tears every day.   I'm thankful I'm doing something to keep myself sane (but not so much that it's an obsession).  I don't need to be committed just yet I guess.

Speaking of exercising, I need to do more strength training.  I got in my closet and tried on a ton of my old dress (read: work) pants for a function next Saturday, and they still don't fit.  And it's only in the inner tube area.  I'm not in the dumps about it because I feel pretty good about what I've been doing.  I just want to understand it, so I've done a little research.  It turns out that the running is lovely but adding more muscle mass will up my metabolism even more.  These are things I know but have forgotten.  Probably because I've been so excited (what?) about running.  Who knew I'd have tunnel vision (brain) for running?  Time to get excited about throwing some weights around. 

For now I'm going to go continue reading Clash of Kings until I pass out.  And since I was awake more than asleep between 4-6AM this morning, it shouldn't take much.  Good night.
