The only thing that matters now is my mission. Nothing will stand in the way anymore.
I just have to write a quick follow up... it is late and I haven't slept, really slept for days... still just getting an hour here and there... I just wanted to let everyone know I was feeling a little bit better. Not awesome but definitely better. I saw my doctor and she has given me sleeping pills which I will take a half of one later this week... I took a full one almost 4 years ago and I slept until past noon that time, so I am a little leery of taking any. I will test it out over the weekend to make sure I can wake up in time.
Next I broke the 15 minute mile tonight, I can give a great deal of thanks to a friend who ticked me off and I went out there and walked so fast to blow some steam off. I felt like I was speeding... I have a new goal, I want to get under a 14.30 mile. Maybe that friend can really tick me off, lol. I am still not going to talk about what devastated me the other day, it is still there, I still have to deal with it, the reason it was so difficult for me was because I was side swiped with it... maybe if I had known anything and not just have it thrown at me the way it was I would have handled it a whole lot better... Anyhow, that is neither here nor there, regardless, I have to deal with it and deal with it I will.
Finally I just wanted to write a funny story, I have told you all about how competitive I am ... well, let me tell you about a funny story. About two weeks ago I was walking and at a pretty good clip when I caught someone out of the corner of my eye, looking like they were trying to pass me. I don't like to be passed, so I just sped up and I kept seeing someone out of the corner of my eye speeding up with me. I was getting a bit frustrated as I was not sure I could keep that speed up for much longer. Finally I glanced to the side, there was no one there... get this... it was my shadow... lol
I told you I was competitive... but whoa... racing my shadow... too much.
Another magnificent post! Great read! And I love to come back!

Thank you Katherine, you are so sweet ;-)
DeleteI feel like I an running from my shadow sometimes! Enjoyed your post! I am a very competitive person too! I don't know why, but I hate to lose. I hope you get the sleep situation figured out soon. It just makes you feel miserable when you can't sleep.
ReplyDeleteThank you. Betty... I'll be working on the sleep this weekend. :-/
DeleteI'm not sure I could drive a mile in 15 mins :) I usually drink camomile tea at night which usually helps me to sleep. But if I'm really upset for some reason, nothing much helps.

Thanks Rick... I think I have been way too upset to sleep... I'm hoping I find a way soon;-)
DeleteI am so sorry about the insomnia. Have you tried Wal-Mart's over the counter sleep aid?? It has helped cure mine.
ReplyDeleteThank you Keith... if the sleeping pills my dr gave me are too much... I will try the pills you suggest ;-)
DeleteI'm glad to hear things are looking a little brighter for you. I enjoyed the shadow story. Haha! They say it is best to compete with yourself instead of with others. Sounds like you were doing that quite literally! :-)
ReplyDeleteHaha.. thank you Daisy... I laughed so hard when I realized what I had been doing... oh well... I got a great work out. I always enjoy your comments :)
DeleteBeing irked with someone does make for a good workout. :)
ReplyDeleteLOL at the shadow!!! I really did laugh out loud!! :)
Haha, thanks Rosey, I thought I needed to lighten it up a bit after being so deep and serious... and that shadow story cracked me up... :)
DeleteI think people are laughing about it because they can see themselves doing the same thing!! I know I could. :) Have a great week, Launna!
DeleteThank you Rosey :)
DeleteI think we are all trying to race our shadows -- but that is funny! Congrats on the speed!
ReplyDeleteThank you Kc.... I was flying, it felt great-;-)

Awe thank you Carolina... you are such a doll ;-)
DeleteI am glad you get a little bit better. I've been there done that, while ago when I first moved with my job to the US by myself and living my life all alone. I have leave my family and friends behind. I could not sleep at all, home sick, confused! Big adjusted of my life. I had to go see the Doctor to give me a sleeping pills but then I took pills for while and after that I throws all pills away!
ReplyDeleteI told myself it isn't healthy and not the right choice for me, I turned my head up, told myself, I'll have to deal with any kind of any situations. I cannot count on other people or pill to make me happy, I am the only one that can make myself happy. I make my own choice, then I took everything as easy as lonely Tanya could take. Our brains so amazing and powerful whatever side we choose to do or go, the brain will work with us and your great soul. take opportunity to challenge the brain Launna. since then I have been take and look everything as a normal thing in my lives. that it cold happen to anybody as well. remember, you're not alone. But again, we all comes from a different foundation. Things works with me it may not easy for you. Cry if you want too but you will be fine after you wiped out your tears. wish you all the best. you're one of a greatest person I've been know through our blogging. Here's a big hugs from me. XXXXXX
Wish you a lovely weekend. I will speaks to you later.

Awe Tonya... you are so kind to me... you make me feel loved... this has been such a sad week for me... I'm hoping I can get it together soon. .... :-/
DeleteI love the picture of you trying to outrace your own shadow. I can just picture that... and can also picture myself trying to do the same thing.
ReplyDeleteSorry about the insomnia, kiddo. If the pill proves to be too much, Celestial Seasons "Sleepytime" tea might help.
Happy weekend!
Thank you Susan, it made me laugh that I was trying to beat my own shadow... oh my... :)
DeleteI will let you know about the pills, I really need sleep... otherwise I will never feel better :-/

Deb
Thank you Deb... I am trying to get through... although the devastating thing that happened has taking the air out of me and left me with tears only... I can barely breathe and rarely sleep... I just sob nonstop about it..... :(
DeleteRacing your shadow? OMG I am dying laughing!! You are too funny! Well, whatever bad thing it is that happened, I hope you are able to accept it and make peace with it. You are getting stronger every day and I am so proud of you for making this journey!
ReplyDeleteThank you Marcia... I am not sure I can get past this... it is so much more than I can even explain. You have to wonder if I am more than willing to trade all my horrible days just to take my Monday away... Even though I know that is not possible... I pray I find peace too.... somehow
