I just can't right now



Today was a really bad today. This whole weekend sucked, actually. I don't know why stressful things all come at me at one time, but the timing of my car quitting on me Friday couldn't have been worse.

I'm going to write more about it, but I am emotional right now because I'm stressed to my max limit, so I'm just going to go to bed and write about it tomorrow. Hopefully feeling better.

To end on a positive note, though, I took Joey for a walk in the 65-degree temps today! It was SO nice outside. I started my walking program again, hoping that I was healed from my fall off the ladder (turns out, I am not... but I'll write about that later).

I let Joey off the leash when we were at the lake, and he loved running along the shore. And, of course, getting in the water at the boat launch!



Whenever we are near water, Joey likes me to throw rocks into the water. It's an OBSESSION of his. He will stare at me with a goofy grin until I cave in and throw some pebbles. He leaps into the air like he's going to chase after it, but he turns around immediately and stares me down again until I throw another.

It makes no sense. But I indulge him anyways, because how could you NOT, when looks at you like this?







Okay, I'm going to bed. Hopefully, I'll be in a better mood tomorrow.

  1. Hey Katie,
    I am sorry you are having a rough time. I actually came to your blog today because I am needing some encouragement, but looks like I need to leave you some. I have been reading your blog for probably 6 years now. Your blog inspired me to start running. Your blog has helped me lose weight on multiple occasions. Since I started reading, I've had 2 babies and now I find myself at my highest weight, just about where you were when you were at your highest. So I thought, looks like it's time to revisit runsforcookies and get back on track. I hope it's not creepy - I just relate to you so much. I'm an Ohio mom of 2 with a similar weight history and I just love how you write - keeping it real and honest. Thank you so so much for blogging your life. I really hope stuff gets better in your neck of the woods. Cars are such a pain in the ass - I feel you.

    1. Aww, so sorry that I was a Debbie Downer on this post! Sometimes I just don't have it in me to try to be positive. Thank you so much for the kind words. <3

  3. My sister had a golden retriever (Milton), he always wanted rocks thrown, then he'd bring them back in his mouth! Even if they landed in high grass, he'd find them! Katie I'm soooo glad spring is here finally. If I lived closer to you we could go for a run by that lake. I hope today is a good one. I'm still running on the mill three days a week. I call it my geriatric HIIT! I read this in an old Runners World magazine, somebody her treadmill "a weapon of ass reduction" now that's just too funny!

    1. Good for you, running three days a week! I wish I could say that I stuck with it after my 3-3-3 running, but I didn't. Even walking right now is rough after my fall off the ladder--ugh.

      That's funny that Milton wanted you to throw rocks, too. I always feel like Joey is so weird! He doesn't even really go after them. He jumps toward them and then immediately turns around for another. And he'll sit there and beg until I actually MAKE him come with me!

    1. Thank you! It's all relative, I know. My "problems" are surely petty compared to others' but I just need a moment to breathe! :)

I used to publish ALL comments (even the mean ones) but I recently chose not to publish those. I always welcome constructive comments/criticism, but there is no need for unnecessary rudeness/hate. But please--I love reading what you have to say! (This comment form is super finicky, so I apologize if you're unable to comment)
