Driving Naked

Yup, I feel like I drove naked to work this morning. I didn't actually, but I had no make up on and only half my outfit... naked!

See, I get up at 5:50am on non-workout days. I'm out the door by 6:40 and on the road to be in my office by 7:25/7:30. But this morning, 6:58 I sprang up and thought oh S!#T!!! F&C! I was late as in waaaaay late. Forget rational thinking at this point, I was in panic mode. Hubs is out of town so I was on my own. Dog up and out, wouldn't pee for the life of me! Ran inside, put on whatever i could find threw my make up bag in my briefcase and ran, literally out the door.

This is how I felt in traffic

And wow, amazing how bad traffic sucks when you leave just 10 minutes later than normal and of course people are worse and more ridiculous... The explicative just kept coming. Yes, I know its not their fault, but man get out of my way people! Woman (naked) on a mission.

I finally got to my office (only 10 minutes later than normal) and proceeded to sneak in so as not to see anyone while I was scary-faced...

Now that my blood pressure is down, I realized whoa, I need a chill pill or 7 and a major vacation. I mean I went into full-on panic mode over being late. I cried, screamed, cursed... at something that was my own fault. Reality check, I need not freak out every time something goes wrong. Reality check - the world will not end if I am late (no one will even notice that early). Reality check - my well-being way more important that 10 minutes in the office.

So, stop today and take a reality check next time you feel your blood boiling and the pressure heightened. And, always check that your alarm says "am" not "pm".

My matra now!
