This morning started off with another workout at the UNCW track, before I rushed to work to teach two Aqua Fitness classes. I'm starting to really like Thursdays because I get extremely sweaty at running practice and then I go straight to work and jump in the pool. It's so refreshing!
After a staff meeting and some phone calls, I am finally sitting down to type up this blog post. You all will be happy to know, we called to check on our little rescue fawn, Brutus today, and the little guy is doing well, eating and drinking!
It's time to chat about scary stuff! Day 3- of the 10 Day You Challenge: Eight Fears!
1. Becoming physically disabled
After a serious injury a few years ago, in which I was sidelined from most physical activity for six months, I know how important my mobility is to me as far as my job and happiness are concerned! I would be quite the grump if I was unable to exercise or enjoy my favorite hobbies and passion.
2. Expiration dates of my loved ones
Anyone closet to me knows that I always say the Pups are immortal, because I can't imagine a life without them in it. I often times wonder what life would be like with certain people gone like family members and loved ones and it makes me very sad!
3. Not being perfect
I know I'm not perfect. But, I sure as heck try! I work hard and have earned everything I have in my life. Although I'm very blessed, things are never just handed to me. I try not to disappoint those who take chances on me or invest time, energy and love into me.
4. Bug nests
I'm not scared of any animals really. I mean, I'll avoid a bee so I don't get stung but I never really find myself worried about snakes or spiders or anything in particular. I do however, find it absolutely disgusting when there are a whole bunch of bugs all in one place. Gives me the heeby jeebies!
5. Mold
I'm not sure why, but mold scares the crap out of me. How it can physically scare me to the point my heart actually races when I see it, is beyond me. It's so gross and gives me that same feeling where I just shudder anytime I get near it. I still remember in college letting coffee sit in the pot for a week or so and this disgustingly scary layer of green mold that developed on the surface layer. I screamed as soon as I saw it and made my boyfriend clean it out! ICK!
6. Meat
BARF! Meat is so disgusting to me. My worst nightmare would be to eat something and realize that it had meat in it. After not consuming meat for eight years, I'm certain I would become extremely ill if I accidentally ate any sort of animal. Around the same time as the coffee pot incident, I happened to be taking a nap in my dorm room, and the same boyfriend decided to wake me up by holding a hot dog under my nose. EEW! I freaked out obviously, and we, of course, are no longer together!
7. Not getting enough sleep
I get the worst anxiety about not getting eight hours of sleep. I'm 27 years old and I listen to my body. After this long, I have gotten to know myself pretty well and I just don't function well if I don't get a full night's rest. When I sleep less than eight hours, I know a bad day is on the horizon.
8. Not waking up on time
While writing my thesis in college and working 80 hours a week between my graduate assistantship and my part time job, I got very little sleep. When I would finally drift off for a few hours, I would have nightmares of showing up to work late, in the wrong uniform, etc. I'm such a dork!
Alright, now you know all my fears!
What are some of yours?
