Rainy Monday

We've had such a dry summer, I'm out of the habit of checking the weather ahead of a run morning.  Woke up to rain.  If it stays light, I'll still run outside.  Have to do a thunderstorm check though.

I'm NOT in the mood for a treadmill run this morning, but might have to muster it ... mood or not.

Didn't sleep well last night.  Or I should say, had a hard time falling asleep.  Cold sore zinging, back cramping and my mind racing about leaving work.  "When should I give notice?"  "How long should I stay?"  "Will they hate me?"  "There goes my running schedule."   That sort of relaxed thinking lol.

Once I fell asleep all was well.  It's been awhile since I've woken up fantasizing about bedtime.

My back is okay this morning.  I can find "comfortable" positions.  Cold sore is in full bloom (hopefully not still growing) and the zinging seems less this morning.  Ugh I hate cold sores!!

Still struggling with morning regularity.  It's strange this time.  Big slow down of systems.  I have a magnesium supplement for such occasions, but when things move along, magnesium might be overkill.  I'm hoping for a win in that department today.  I wonder if it's the collagen powder??  I can't remember the timing when it started.

All school districts are back as of today (our county starts this morning).  Hello traffic!!  Focusing on the fact that I only have a couple of months to put up with it.  As I said yesterday, since I've FINALLY made the decision, I can't leave fast enough.

I want to give significant notice, but I will be a bit "punished" when I do.  It's happened to others.  Stay later, given the ugly cases, cold shoulder ... that sort of thing.  So I'm torn.  I'd like to give notice now, but it's not wise.  Uncertainty stresses me out.  I'll know more this week.  September schedule will be done.  I'll look at "requests off" for October to see when notice should happen.  I wished there was an update to the construction project start (that's part of my "why").  Hard to give notice when I'm not heading to a new job or moving or something specific.  That's why the construction date is important to me.

Okay, better check the weather.  Monday has begun.
