Yesterday afternoon I was set to meet up with a friend of mine for a little decadent dessert and some much need girl-talk. On the way there, I had a little fender bender. No one was hurt, thankfully, but my pride suffered a serious blow. I was completely bummed out which sort of ruined my afternoon (and evening…and morning). I talked with the insurance folks and based upon point of impact alone, the fault was determined to be mine (I don’t dispute that – I wasn’t paying enough attention) and our liability insurance will pay to repair the other person’s car. My car had very minor damage and thankfully my next door neighbor is an auto-body guy so hopefully he can work his magic on my car.
I’m not sure I can handle any more “fun” for awhile.
Remember the I’m so stupid conversation I had with myself over the stupid face cream? Well the I’m so stupid tape started playing in my head again right after the accident, along with why did I do that? tape. It just wouldn’t stop this time. In fact, it’s still sort of playing today even though I’m really trying to fight it off. Apparently I have this deep-seated belief that I’m stupid because that’s usually the first thought that comes into my head when I do something wrong. Definitely will have to work on destroying that tape.
Overall, and except for my Sunday afternoon, I had a very nice weekend although I will admit I packed too much into it. Saturday I got to meet with a group of friends I hadn’t seen in a while, then I had some good bonding time with my youngest while we ran errands, then Saturday night the hubs built a campfire in the back yard and we all sat around it and just relaxed – but then I had to stay up late finishing up laundry and cleaning up the kitchen. Got up early Sunday morning, went to church, came home to finish a sewing project, had lunch, went to meet my friend, had the fender-bender, come home, more laundry, more sewing, more kitchen cleaning, then fell into bed exhausted but had a very restless sleep.
Over the weekend, my intention was to eat small portions, which I did, but the quality of my food was pretty awful. My meals were at irregular times and when I did eat, it wasn’t healthy, nourishing foods at all. Plus I drank very little water which is probably why I had a headache all night last night. So when the alarm buzzed this morning, I just didn’t have it in me to get up and run. I was tired, I was sad, and I knew my body didn’t have the fuel or hydration it needed to get me through a run. So I hit the snooze and dozed for another 45 minutes before I had to get up and get ready for work. Hopefully I’ll feel better tomorrow when I get up – I definitely think a yoga day is in order!
I’m going to spend the rest of the day trying to turn my frown upside down. Hope you all are having a good Monday!
I always get headaches when I’m dehydrated, too. I don’t know how I forget something as simple as drinking water, but it happens.
Anyway, just make the best of the present situation. Enjoy your Monday! 🙂
Urgh! Sorry about the fender-bender (I read the first as fun with benders, and thought uh-oh…. then saw the fender 😉 ) I hope things start feeling better!
You are NOT stupid. I have that tape too. I wish I could give it to one of those people who are stuck on how awesome they are, and I could borrow theirs for a day or two!
Oh my goodness, Jill. You know I am telling the truth when I say I know how you feel. I don’t even have the possibility that it was another person’s fault. It was a TREE!! And my tape, if not satisfied with how stupid I am, goes on to tell me how worthless I am. Anyway, I am glad you are okay, and I hope you somehow get a little extra sleep this week. It will do wonders for you.
YES I TOO KNOW. like debby. and kinda like debby I BACKED OUT OF MY GARAGE INTO TREES.
trees which are always there 🙂 I rock that way.
xo
Oh, and I forgot to mention, what made me feel extra-extra bad is that the teenage girl I hit had just come out of Pet Smart to buy milk for the tiny baby kitten she had just rescued. I felt like stabbing myself in the heart! Ugh!!
I hope today is looking better for you. We can certainly be the hardest on ourselves . I’m glad you are okay physically. Get some water in, some rest, and some fun, and let us send you some love so you can get better mentally, too.
(Hug)
Gina you are such an angel – I appreciate you so much! 🙂
