Scared the shit out of some guy while running yesterday. The sun was starting to go down and it was getting kind of dark. I turned a corner and see a teenage boy up ahead of me on the sidewalk, heading the same direction I'm running in and I immediately tried to think of how to pass him without scaring the shit out of him.

Should I try to get his attention? He has earbuds in, I would have to yell, do you think yelling would scare him more or less than the sounds of someone running up behind him? Should I get in the street to pass him? Shit wait there are cars coming and I'd be running on the wrong side of the street, can't cross because of oncoming traffic either.

 By the time all these thoughts had gone through my mind I was out of time and rapidly approaching him. He heard my loud plodding steps and just about jumped out of his skin thinking he was about to get jumped. Oh god. I felt so bad and even said "OH GOD! I'M SORRY! IT'S JUST ME!" with my hands up as I passed him.

Supposed to try and jog today, but of course I'm feeling lazy and not wanting to after two weeks off trying to let an injury heal. Plus that means I'm going to have to go back in my training schedule since there's a very small chance that I could just pick up where I left off. Also waiting to hear from the boy. I don't want to plan on going out for my run and then him message me right before I head out that he's on his way over. Hard to get ahold of him when his phone is broken. Again. At least this one lasted almost a year. He broke it the same way as he broke it last time...by sitting on it. I instinctively take my phone out of my pocket before I sit because it's uncomfortable, I don't understand how guys can just sit down with their wallets and phones digging into their asses. I should've gotten up when I woke up at 8:30am instead of sleeping in till 10am, but I just hate the idea of waking up on a Saturday at the same time I wake up on weekdays for work. I'm slowly becoming a morning person and it's weird. But now here it is at noon and I haven't eaten anything but my morning protein shake. But then again, I know if the boy ends up coming over he's going to be hungry and then I'll end up having a second lunch with him.

Perfect Friday

Roommate decided to head to her boyfriend's for the night, which surprised me since she only just got back into town today after a weeklong trip. I figured she would want to spend some time with her Stage 5 clinger cat, so it really made my night to hear that she wouldn't be here. I haven't had a night to myself in a week and had multiple social obligations that were with groups of people. As an introvert I'm pretty drained. Add on top of that the anxiety I've been having this week and having the house to myself and knowing I don't have to work tomorrow is honestly just what I need. Nothing to worry about. I can just veg out and watch wrestling. I feel like maybe I should work on some of my video game backlog, but my brain is just so drained from work that I don't want to do anything that I have to focus on too hard. I hate feeling like I'm growing out of video games, but I just feel there are other things I'd rather devote that time to like cooking healthy food and working out and reading and knitting and well...browsing reddit and I guess blogging now. Hah.
