Messed up day, stressed, and overwhelmed feeling

BIKE 19-ish miles in about 80 mins, in pieces
SWIM not likely

What a day. I'm so out of sorts, a lot of it is my fault. So where to begin?

I'm up at 430am. Brekkie at 5am. Then by 630am brekkie'ing with DH. What was I doing in that time!? Blerching. Didn't sleep well because dog didn't sleep well. Her e-collar noise wakes me up. But at least she didn't need to go out at 1am like she did last night!

Then while walking the dog at 7am I get texting Mom, then just end up calling her. 1hr and 40 mins later (!!) (it was a great conversation, I needed and enjoyed it) it's 9am and I need to leave for work. What about my 80 min bike ride of 3x11 min intervals?! My 60 mins swim? I munch a weird meal under stress.

Adapt. Do what I can. I decide to take a long route to work to get some done, then while I'm home with the doggie over lunch take another long route. Get to work, eat part of a meal. A few hours later, part of another. Ride home. Triple-task with the dog -- her compress, I'm shoving food down my throat, and distracted with the internet. Blerching.

Done with that, a brief walkie with the dog. Still stressed. Another weird meal. Mange-mange-munch-munch. Long route back to work, same route as before with some extra and happily I hit my time goal. I did what I could, no intervals. But I did it.

Then back to work. I've worn my bike shorts and bra underneath some workout clothes all day. I really want a shower. I'm hungry again, because I don't know what I ate and what I ate was healthy by shoveled. My mind is in a tumble. This. That. Then more of this. I have 2 more days at my job, my dog is sick, I'm missing workouts, so much to get done, when will I do it? How will I do it?

On top of it all, the Monster has reared it's head this week. I'm so off schedule, so off kilter, so overwhelmed feeling. He loves that shit and takes advantage of it.

So how to get it all back?
Focus. Stop the tumbling.
What needs to be done high-priority? Well, not this blog! But here I am anyway.

Start with tonight. Go home. Tend the dog, prep some tea, take a shower, and just sit for awhile. Think about tomorrow's plans. Then have dinner, hopefully will be home. No internet, no computer, no distractions. I swear, the Blerch hides in a computer screen sometimes.
