"I Don't Like Mondays"

It's funny how the brain still remembers Monday even when you no longer go to work.  I suppose there's all kinds or other reminders though.  I discovered one of them this morning when I went to get my blood work done.  I went right after I dropped the kids at school, and yet there were 18 people ahead of me. Apparently that's a typical money morning problem.  I happen to know that if you go online you can book a time and get priority over the walk ins, but It never seemed worth it.  It was quite amusing however to listen to the grumbling from people who weren't aware of this option, as they watched others walk in and get served right away.  Too funny!

Then I went running, and while I survived my 18 kms, it also felt like Monday.  I guess I get greedy real quick.  I wanted to feel right back to normal even as I increase distances, but I can see it's gonna take time to build back up.  Then again, it is Monday!

I spent the rest of my day trying to figure out how to stop worrying about my children, a habit bordering on insanity.  My protective instincts are often out of line with the specific concern, and I don't know what to do about it.  My brain tells me that everything will be fine, but the very thought of one of them experiencing any pain brings on emotions that I find overwhelming.  God grant me.....
