Save Me Jebus!
I am seriously drowning in roses right now…and I have about a million cuts on my hands from the stupid thorns. I seriously never want to see another rose for as long as I live haha. (So all you boys out there planning to buy me flowers…skip the roses!).
Anyways, I’ve been HORRIBLE with running this week. I keep waking up at 5:30 thinking I should go outside and go running…then I get out of bed and see how DARK it is outside and how cold it looks and how tired I am (and think how LONG my day will be if I do go running) and go back to bed.
So…sleeping in until 8ish each day has been WONDERFUL…but the lack of running is BAD considering I have less than 11 weeks until the half marathon…and my first personal trainer meeting on Monday. She’s going to think I am the BIGGEST slacker EVER!
So I’m trying to force myself to go tomorrow morning. We’ll see how that goes. Five miles. I can totally do it right?
Still not much improvement shown by little O…which makes me sad. I was talking to the vet earlier and she’s recommending I take him to get a scan done on his spine to see how bad the damage really is…but that’s not really an option right now financially so more options need to be discussed. Sigh. Why can’t I have a normal dog?
(As an aside…I do have a normal dog for a dachshund…apparently A LOT of them have similar issues right around age 6…just like Oscar…but I want a normal dog for a non-dachshund). Apparently that’s not an option.
I miss him so much right now and feel like a horrible mom for abondoning him while he’s hurt.
Sigh.
And on that sad note…back to work I go. More roses to clean. 
Oh, I’m so sorry to hear about O…that must be really difficult for you and him, the poor little guy!
You shouldn’t be so hard on yourself about running; you have so many other things going on; I’m sure the extra sleep is heavenly!
I haven’t done a thing all week; and it’s funny how not exercising for a few days makes you feel lazy, out of shape, like you’ve fallen off the rocker etc. I always feel so much better when I’m in the routine of doing it – but really taking a few days off isn’t that horrible!
PS – thank you for cleaning and cutting roses; you are making a lot of people happy this Vday!
AND you will love them again yourself..one day…
Hope you have a good weekend!
