You’re know you're having a bad day when you arrive 30 minutes early for your doctor’s appointment, as instructed, because you are a good person and try to do as others ask (within reason), and the woman next to you in the packed waiting room says she’s been waiting for an hour and a half.
And you know you’re having a REALLY bad day when, two and a half hours later, you finally leave the doctor’s office and head for the lunch spot you know stocks ice-cold Diet Cokes, and they are OUT! It’s Friday and they haven’t restocked! How could this be happening? What in karma’s name have you done to deserve this?
Take a deep breath. Remember how you made yourself feel better the other day? You were in a really bad mood. You have been doing so much running in preparation for the half marathon that you haven’t had much time for your true love, weight-lifting, and it was making you really grumpy. So that day you went to the gym and lifted hard for an hour. Remember how much better you felt? Even though your triceps are still a little sore three days later from the torture you put them through?
Now remember what you are doing this afternoon. Your true blue friend Becky is going to lift with you. You only thought you were sore on Tuesday. Wait until Becky gets through with you. You will no longer be having a bad day. Your muscles will be tired and sore but it will be a good tired and sore. You and she will talk and laugh and carry on and possibly devise some sort of entertaining mischief for someone else in the gym. When you leave, as always, you will be so glad you went and will feel so much better about your day.
