You know that flu-ish feeling you get when you experience extremes? Its hot, its freezing, its dry as a bone, its raining cats and dogs... and then all of a sudden you just feel like crap. Well that's me... only emotionally. Lately I just feel like I've been up and down and up and down and things are fixed and things are broken and they're fixed again and blah, blah, blah. So while in reality thing are great at the moment... I feel like I'm waiting here for the other shoe to drop. Because everythings been up, down, all around for so freakin' long I have a hard time believing they're going to remain stable. So I keep telling myself "Its all good" while I feel like curling up in bed and waiting for my emotional flu to pass.

Today I decided I had several options on how to deal with the EF (Emotional Flu). I could really stay in bed, have a good cry (the emotional equivilent of puking) and eat a gallon of ice cream, or I could drink myself silly OR I could work out and get some endorphins pulsing through my vains (Is that what endorphins do?). While options 1 and 2 both sounded like they could work I decided the best option was #3. So that's what I did when I got home from work. I got into some workout clothes and marched my ass to the fitness center. I worked out for 45 minutes, and ran and eliptical'd my way through 2.5 miles, uphill and down. I jogged my way through my frustration and stress and worry and concentrated only on running so my mind couldn't wander to other things. And it worked... for 45 minutes.

But those 45 minutes were great.

(P.S. Things that also make me feel better are "I love you" and "Don't worry about it" texts from Mark. They always come at the right time.)
