Hating DHL.

Hate is a strong word, yes. But at 4:05 pm, having waited all day for this bl**dy parcel to come, I'm pretty sure it's the right word to go with.

The story goes.. Thursday, parcel came. I was at the gym. Rearranged for delivery for Friday. Waited all day. Went nowhere. Phoned up DHL at 4:45.. they said the parcel was still on it's way and that I should call back at 5:30 to check status on order. Phoned 45 minutes later. Apparently the incompetent mother of a driver who delivered my parcel on Friday said he couldn't find the address.. Even though they a) attempted delivery the previous day and left a card and b) had my number to call, no parcel came. Gym closed at 4 on Friday and so didn't go and felt guilty all weekend. Decided to myself I'd be smart and go this morning. Only, come 1 am I couldn't sleep. Until 6. So needless to say I didn't wake up until 10. By which time they should have been on their way. Only, clearly, they weren't.

J went to the gym at 2 and I was considering going, but we decided I'd be so annoyed at myself if the parcel did in fact come while I was away. So I stayed. But now it's 4:09 and I could definitely have squeezed in a run and gotten there and back in the time I wasted doing bits and bobs at home waiting for this parcel. Eeeeeeeek. Can you sense the frustration?!?! Normally it wouldn't be a train wreck but what with New Year's this week and AllyG arriving at 9:30 not 12 as I had thought a workout tomorrow morning is going to be pretty tight especially if I don't sleep tonight. I tried the lavender mask.. it didn't work. No, in fact it was uncomfortable - I know it looks all posh and pretty and satiny but how people actually sleep with those things is beyond me!

Anyway I sit and wait here, I have gotten into my gym gear in preparation and packed my gym bag so that if this goddawful parcel comes in the next 49 minutes I can sign for it and go. If not J should be home by 5 and then I can leave him to it. At this rate I won't be getting home before 7 though.. I think once I have gotten my three sessions in I will be calm, but I've done so well so far (3rd week, have been at least 3 times the past two weeks and already been twice this week) that I don't want to give up.. especially with the family drama there's a lot of stress that needs to be unleashed on that treadmill.. it's been 2.5 months since my last seizure and I really really don't want to be having one soon so I need those endorphins desperately! Too bad DHL doesn't seem to care :(

Really what I need now is some form of meditation but it's never really been my thing.. my mind always wanders :/ Where is that damn little yellow truck when I need it?!?
