I Will Survive has pretty much been my theme song for the past week.
This past week has been mentally, physically, and emotionally draining. I had two exams last week that I spent every waking hour studying for. My inner ankle/heel has really been bothering me, so I had to skip my planned 6 mile run this weekend. I’m really worried about my foot. It’s pretty painful to run on. My half-marathon is still pretty far out, so if I have to stay off it for a while to let it heal, that’s what I’ll do. I’m not happy about it though. And on the emotional front, suffice it to say my personal life has been a little crazy lately.
So, I’ve been surviving. Thriving though? Probably not.
But that’s okay. You have a bad week, and you make the next one better.
Today I kind of had this realization that there is so much joy every day that we pass by and take for granted. I did my laundry today which is actually a pretty big deal because I hate doing laundry and only do it when absolutely necessary (like no clean underwear/been re-wearing the same sports bra to the gym for the past three days kind of bad). Anyways, I walk into my room with a GIANT basket of freshly cleaned sheets and clothes that I am not excited to fold. I dumped the basket on the floor, and just cuddled in the warmth of my clean laundry. I cuddled with my laundry for a good ten minutes. And it was probably the best thing I did all day.
XOXO,

Wow, Jamie, you are really a strong person to be able to see the little happiness of everyday life, even during hard times. I can only imagine what you must be going through at the moment, but I hope things begin to turn around better soon!
I think cuddling with laundry is the best thing Reese did all day too! You guys are alike in so many ways…
Anyway, you will be home soon to see not just Reeser, but me and Allie too! I think we are all in need of some serious crazy sister time. Miss and love you!
yes yes yes! Reese is my doggy twin. Except that he eats poop sometimes :/
