Extremely stressful day. Car wouldn’t start, was late to work, borrowed Maddy’s car after work to get a part for my car, she’s seriously so kind. Maddy’s car then wouldn’t start and I felt so so bad cause I was like this isn’t even my car! Spent 20 minutes trying to get it to start to no avail. Eventually walked home and James came back with me to try to help me out, what a guy. He was super stressed out too because of school so that was very kind of him. He couldn’t get the key to turn either and neither could an auto guy. I fumbled with it for 5 more minutes then one lucky time got the key to turn! Blessed. Then went to the post office downtown to track down a package, I ordered a dress a month ago for my best friends wedding, which I’d planned to go back up to Salt Lake for tomorrow. It was supposed to be here last week. I’m one of her bridesmaids so I kind of need that dress. Then got told it was sent back to China a couple days ago due to me moving houses a couple weeks ago, I guess I hadn't filled out the forwarding slip correctly. Also super stressed because money’s tight for the rest of the summer until my scholarships kick in, and I had a falling out with the guy I dated last semester this past weekend sooo yep life is life. Anyways then tried tracking down jumper cables to jump my car cause the battery was dead, finally found some and got my car to start. Went for a run afterwards because I knew I needed a breather.

Yeah so the run was great! Good to let off some steam. It’s a bit strange how putting yourself through some physical pain helps relieve the internal stresses and pains ever so slightly. But I’ll take it. 7:29 average.

I've also noticed, at least lately, that a nice long run, makes my bodily aches and pains go away. Weird.

when i was in high school, i borrowed my sister's car for a friends' day out. when i turned the key the whole metal part broke off inside the ignition. had to do the whole runaround, ended up getting towed, and all i was trying to do was go play mini golf! some days are just the worst, but eventually it all becomes funny.

sorry about all the stressors. running always helps. :)

When I was in high school I thought I would be funny and put my key in my friend's ignition, and it got stuck. I felt like such a moron. After about 30 minutes it finally came out.
