Life is a crazy wild ride, is it not? I mean I will admit, there are days when I am like ‘this is boring!’ And then I try to spice things up a bit. But lately…lately I am overwhelmed by the crazy whips and turns and corners my life seems to take. I am not sure what is happeneing…..I am trying to just go with the flow.
Which gives me a good jumping off point – where the fuck is my period? Before you get excited, I tested on the Friday after Thanksgiving and no….nothing. I was telling my buddy how silly this whole situation is. Three years ago I started acupuncture because I was on the cycle from hell (200 days, fuck me) without a hope in the world. The acu got me cycling again and voila! Pregnant with Jack. This go-round I was cycling, though a little strangely, but not getting pregnant, so I start up acu and now I am not cycling. Are you confused? Because I am. Who knows what is going on?
Shhiiiittt!!! I forgot to tell you dudes! I finished my run! My SIL turned on her “map my run” and we ended up running 4.3 miles in a 4 mile race….how one might ask? I will tell you – assholes. I shit you not, I was ready to tear some heads off because people would start walking right in front of us and create a giant 30 foot wide baracade so we had to zig zag back and forth the entire race. I was about to yell “walkers move to the RIGHT!” until I realized I would look like an ass, oh, and also it was Thanksgiving…..whoopsies.

Have I mentioned I am an angry runner? I was just so determined to run the entire way and I saw all these people as de-motivators. Like they were billboards saying “you should just walk, it is easier!”. I just wanted them out of my way. In retrospect I signed up for the wrong heat. I should have gone a couple of heats earlier, but I wasn’t certain when I signed up that I would be ready to run the whole way. I will know better next time.
After photo….sunbeams hiding how freaking red I am
Anyway, back to crazy life. I don’t really want to get too deep into it right now, but basically there are three major forces all impacting me at once:
- The job awesomeness
- A job prospect
- Oh and….Andy wants to move to Alaska…..and I kind of do too.
Basically I am a little like deer-in-the-headlights, just stunned and confused. I don’t know exactly what will happen, but I can say that changes appear to be inevitable. What they are though, I have no idea. Hang on to yer panties, these winds might get wild.

4 miles? you’re insane lady!
i also get SUPER duper red when i run. not cute. i need to concentrate on the calorie burn though I suppose, eh? 🙂
Yeah I have no idea how I made it. I knew I could go 3 and I can only attribute that last mile to the fact that “TNT” and “eye of the tiger” came up on my playlist. LOL
So proud of you for running the whole thing!! And I’m loving the job possibilities for you right now!!
Any possibility the increase in physical activity could be effing up your cycle?
Yeah probably…I mean I run super slow but that is probably it
Congrats on finishing the run, and going above and beyond b/c of all the slow walkers in front of you! Do you chart your BBT? Damn, I really hope AF shows up soon and acu seems to work like it did last time. Good luck with all these inevitable changes coming up!
I stopped trying to chart, it was driving me bonkers. But maybe now that I am back to acu I should see if my temps are more regulated.
HIGH FIVES! I FUCKING HATE RUNNING! So you did a great job for both of us.
It sounds like you’re in an interesting psychological place, with lots of waiting for something to happen to move you forward (pregnancy–dude, I have no useful information but will send some gushing blood all over the place vibes your way…I’ll try to make them specific, but don’t be surprised if you get a head wound…), employment, relocation… It’s all pretty major stuff, so I imagine it might feel…stunning and confusing. I’ll be interested to see which busts out first.
great now I am going to be not-pregnant and not cycling with a head wound. I thought we were friends?!?
