I’m honestly way too exhausted over today’s turn of events to really go revisit it all and account for all that went down. Everything was going super smooth and ultra good when all of a sudden it started to rain and then things took a drastic turn. I love the rain but I didn’t like what accompanied it – canceled plans and apparently sour moods. Am I the only one that gets in a good mood with the arrival of rain?!
My company, Flipside Fitness, is hosting an event tomorrow -- Seoraksan Get Fierce, Get Fearless, Get-Away. It’s a two day mountain hike/camp-out but with today’s rain potentially marking the start of Korea’s monsoon season, this hike might have to be postponed. After scrambling around to figure out if we can even go, I now have an early morning phone call meeting with one of the workers who helps manage one of the Seoraksan mountain top shelters.
Our early morning phone call meeting is scheduled tomorrow for 5am, yikes.
I thought it best to postpone the event and then come up with an alternative plan, after all the girls freed up their weekend and who is Mother Nature to try to pee out our plans?! Exactly, so alternative plans were created and now I’m schedule to call up the tenting company and delivery truck guys tomorrow so to harass them about hurrying things up – no pressure:(
And then there was boxing… Junior Mint was in a beyond ticked off mood, which is somewhat understandable considering all that’s going on. The Cheonan Bulldog has a fight coming up so pressure is definitely on. Black Skinny was always the one to wear the broad shoulders and take whatever venting Junior Mint dished out at the club but with him being away from training today all the blame, finger pointing and name calling fell on my shoulders. I took the blame for everyone and anyone at UP.
Sometimes I think Junior Mint vents to me because not only is he and I are a lot closer than most other boxers there -- we’ve got a solid history together of “TMIS” (too much information sharing) – but also because I fight back. The others he’s vent to just nod their heads and let him exhaust himself. I’ll nod my head, sure, but then I’ll shoot back with a comment. Whether it’s advice or a slapstick comeback comment I always seem to have something to say and my comments aren’t always nice but they’re the truth. Today, in addition to the list of blames he threw my way, he then yelled at me for coming so late to training – it was only 9pm! I had had a hard day with running around doing errands and then the stress of my much-anticipated month-long planned Seoraksan event blowing up in my face because of the rain, so I was definitely not up for carrying the blame for other people… so I left. And then I got yelled at for leaving early! I love Junior Mint and can totally understand his stress but seriously, I felt myself inches away from giving him a good round-robin kick to the head.
