I Am A Bad Person

Despite the 40 minute run I am supposed to do ... I have officially decided to opt to do nothing instead. I promise to run tomorrow, for real.

You ever just get into a funk? For no reason, all of a sudden, your mood kind of turns and you become grumpy? I am sure a run would motivate me and pick up my mood ... but the problem is getting to run in the first place. Unfortunately, it is not going to happen.

Last night I didnt sleep at all. It was really wierd - and completely related to Monday night television! I kept having these thoughts that made me panicky and I couldnt fall asleep. When I try to remember them, I cant remember if they were about 1) me traveling in time or 2) me having government secrets trapped in my head or 3) a combination of both 1 & 2. I know it was one of these three choices because it was tv shows that I watched, somehow infultrating my psyche, that kept me up with crazy thoughts all night. In "Chuck", the character has government secrets planted in his head and is involved in all of these goofy save-the-world type experiences due to the knowledge he possesses. In "Journeyman", the main character travels in time to fix/repair situations. Unfortunately I have an over-active imagination and seemed to have taken these shows a bit more seriously. Note to self: No tv the night before the Marathon!

As I sit here eating peanuts (and having just finished a huge cookie) thinking about how I really need to go run, I can at least be happy that I do have something to weark come Sunday. I got letters added to my singlet at a t-shirt press store. There will be tons of us out in TNT shirts come Sunday ... but you might be able to find me if you look for my name. Here it is:

I like to blame it on PMS, but yes I think we all get the grumps sometimes. :)
