Maybe I’m chemically imbalanced. Or I’m stressed. Or maybe I’m just a woman with hormone issues. PMDD they call it? The severe PMS? Or maybe it’s because I’m the daughter of someone who has been working for the Postal Service for 20+ years and by nature I’m “postal.”

Usually I’m pretty patient…But just recently (the past few days), little things set me off – and I feel like I might catapult myself into a state of internal combustion. In layman’s terms, “Going Ape Shit.”

1
All this week I have forgotten to pack a fork. When I pack my lunch (which is rare, but I’m trying to be good this week) I somehow always forget to pack a utensil to eat the lunch. I get mad (really mad) at “Past Thera” because she fucked “Future Thera” over.

Yay! I remembered to pack a fork. I didn’t “protect” it apparently. I just threw it in the same bag with my laptop.

Now that's one way to lose weight! De-prong your fork!

Meeting. I had a meeting recently that was very productive… until the next day when the 2 people who didn’t attend the meeting made changes to the outcome we presented. They are good changes… but the follow-up emails and phone calls to make the changes took about 3 times as long as the first meeting they didn’t attend. What a waste of time. I HATE wasting time. I would rather throw cash on the ground (knowing that someone would pick it up and spend it on liquor) than I would waste my time.

Again, not a big deal – but I’ve been fuming about this. Weird, right?

My phone didn’t work (for some reason) for about 30 minutes. This entire 30 minutes I sat in a state of pure agitation. Again, that’s psycho.

5
The other day Nate asked me, “Did you study?” (He knew about the final exam I had the next day).
Seriously, Captain – you’ve been gone for 7 months and guess what… I studied all on my own! I didn’t need someone to be accountable to. I’m a grown ass woman!

And no… I didn’t study…

Phizz at it again.
You probably don’t have to be hormonally imbalanced for this to piss you off, though.

Phizz - maybe I underestimate her intelligence - she's figured out EVERY WAY to drain us of money

The “Fittest Man and Woman” Competition workouts in Durham tomorrow.
I’m totally excited to meet new people and compete… but the workouts they chose just don’t seem to be an accurate way of depicting fitness. To me, any short and squatty overweight strong man or woman could do these workouts.

Maybe I’m just mad because they don’t have pull-ups or ring dips… because those are the only things I’m good at.

EVENT WODs
WOD #1
In 10 minutes, complete as many reps as possible from ground to overhead.
You may use any technique you like to move the load.  Bar must be extended overhead with the knees and hips in full extension.
Men’s Weight:  135lbs     Women’s Weight:  95lbs

WOD #2
21-15-9
Deadlifts (Men: 225lbs, Women: 155lbs)
Box Jumps
Toes To Bar

WOD #3
This is the Final WOD.  Only the Top 10 Men and Women will participate in this workout, which will be announced on Saturday afternoon.

My 118 pound frame is really going to struggle with getting 95 lbs overhead.

Okay, Matt Merrill just called me and told me that I was being a baby pretty much about the WODs chosen. He is right. I’m just mad about the no-pull-up situation. Again… proof that I’m just postal.

So, as you can see… all of these things are not that big of a deal… but they made me go ape shit. I’m sure I’ll get balanced again soon… but in the mean time – just know that you’re walking on egg shells with me.
