Self Portrait Sunday 9/5/10
Let me preface this post by saying that I had a pretty good weekend. I went and spent the weekend with my mom. We just hung out, did a bit of shopping, played cards. Just relaxed and had a good time. Today, however, I’m feeling like I need to look for Orlando vacation packages. It was a rough day!
I took this picture in my mom’s apartment this morning when I was getting ready to head out for practice. It just went downhill from there. I got frustrated at practice when I failed assessments on T-stops, didn’t feel ready to try jumps, and didn’t try to improve my 5 minute endurance laps. Well, Coach told me I didn’t fail T-stops, I just need to do a bit better. Either way, I didn’t PASS T-stops… and I feel like I’m not getting any closer. I’m starting to feel like months from now, I’m still going to be non-contact, non-WFTDA approved because of freaking T-stops.
I moved on with practice, and then about halfway through I had to drop out of a drill because I was having a hard time breathing. I felt like my throat was closing up. I sat down, and ten seconds later, the tears started. I had to sit out for awhile until I could calm down. I did eventually calm down, put my gear back on and get back to practice.
I also made bad diet choices when I got home… I’m pretty sure I didn’t need two different ice cream bars and gummy bears all in one afternoon. To top it all off, I took a shower about an hour ago and got face wash in my eye! It still hurts a bit. I posted on Facebook that the only safe thing to do at this point is go to bed! So I think that’s what I’m going to do. It’s almost laughable how wrong things went today, but I’d rather not press my luck by staying up any later. 
Hopefully I can make it through the night without any phone calls from work (unlike the 3am phone call I got last night! Hmm… maybe the lack of sleep contributed to the overreacting today?)
