Run streak and a little bit of my spirit... broken :( At work today, finishing up my last client, and I get a phone call. "Are you at work? Can you leave?", "Why, what's wrong?", "I need my insurance cards, I need to go to urgent care and get stitches". Always a good way to end the work day. So I rushed home to get the insurance cards and my boyfriend and head to urgent care. I learned something I didn't know about myself, I'm not good under stressful situations that involve someone I care about being hurt.
This worries me for several reasons. First and foremost being, how the hell am I going to be able to handle having a hurt child. I would be a mess. Here sits my boyfriend in front of me, a full grown adult, leg bandaged and looking likes he about to pass out and I'm just trying not to cry. I tried to keep it together and not panic him any further because he was already pale as I've ever seen him and acting strangely. As much as I love him with all my heart I can only imagine how I would feel if that was my child and I was helpless.
Urgent care sent us to the Emergency room at Providence and 8 stitches and 3 hours later we were on our way home. Not to mention a stop to get food and antibiotic pills, and before you know it, it's passed closing time at the gym. My 10 day run streak will remain just that, 10 days :( Of course I'm going to start over tomorrow but I was so dedicated to nothing stopping me!
Let down a bit, exhausted, and not looking forward to working for the 6th day in row tomorrow morning. A womans work is never done. Hoping to feel more encouraged and rested tomorrow.
