Years ago, the 20 minute workout was my morning routine. I loved Beth's encouragement: "You're tough, You're strong...you've gotta keep it movin' on" This 20 minute workout is different. I'm miserable. I'm grumpy. And I don't wanna go anywhere. Welcome to my moment.
I could tell you all the reasons why, like my cat awakening me at 5am, but that was alright. I love my cat, and 5am is tranquil with its quietness and absence of activity.
Another reason could be that I took the dog out for a walk to investigate what to recycle. (In my community cardboards are recycled on a different day than plastics.) I was disappointed to discover that nothing was on the curb. Then I overheard a conversation explaining that animal control hands out $5000 fines to anyone who leaves their garbage outside overnight. Surreal. The explanation, not the fine.
Maybe I don't have a reason. Maybe I'm an emotiopath (not to be confused with a psychopath). I am ticked off at people who have a cup of coffee, and then suddenly everything is alright. 'Good for you,' I say sarcastically. Really, I'm saying, 'Go f* yourself'. *cheesy smile*
I had a cup of coffee this morning. What a stupid thing to do. I suddenly felt dehydrated, and got a headache. Determined to prove that I am not an emotiopath, I deduced it was time to eat. I am a good cook, and tend to plan well rounded meals. OJ w/ one piece of bread w/ the middle cut out to include egg, ham, and cheese. It was just right...but I wasn't.
Maybe I required fresh air. Have you ever seen the sun at 9am, compared to the atmosphere of 5am? No wonder vampires go around biting people. However, I still have no rhyme or reason for this emotiopathic streak of mine. I'm inside right now, and there are no windows. If there was a nuclear war, I would be in the perfect place...a cement building complete with stacks of books.
This concludes my 20 minute workout for today. As you are well aware, it contained no physical exercise. It was an emotional exercise. A writing that lasted 17 minutes with a 3 minute cooldown. Have a great, or not so great, day. Does it really matter? Look at all that Australia did to start Earth Hour, only to suffer with natural catastrophes. Cheers.
