Frustration Day

 

    Have you ever had "one of those days" where frustration is the emotion of the day? I had one today. First of all, it was one of those days that all I wanted to do was to sit and be a couch potato. I did not want to venture outside, I didn't want to interact with people in any shape or form. However, I had to go to the gym and to the grocery store. The frustration stared because of the fact that I HAD to go to the gym. That's a bad sign to begin with. For me, I should not have the feeling of frustration when I have to go to the gym. I should be looking forward to it. I should be excited about working out. So, having those feeling towards working out, made me feel disgusting about myself. Made me feel ashamed of my self for feeling like that. 

So, here I go getting my gym bag ready. Out the door I went; frustration in tow. Got in my car, hooking up my phone to the car, waiting for my car to warm up (yes, because I'm old school). I tapped on my fitness club's app to, #1, check the Crowd Meter, #2 to generate a check-in code. Well, the app would not load. It said, "no connection - try again." I, tried again and again and again, nothing. I killed the app and tried again, nothing. I re-started my phone, still the app would not load and continued to say "no connection." I restarted my phone tapped the app, still nothing. I uninstalled the app, redownloaded and installed the app, nothing. Frustration level at a high point now. I loaded other apps with no problem. Streamed content with no issues. Ah Ha, it's the app and or their servers, not me. I call the gym and asked if they were having problems with there servers. The Attendant tried his app and it worked with no issues. Frustration level in the red now. Finally, after about 30 minutes, hooray!!! The app loaded!!! Forget the crowd meter, I generated the QR code and screen shot the code and proceeded to have a pretty good workout.

After the gym I unfortunately had to stop by the grocery store. The frustration with the app was gone, but I was just felling irritated. Don't know why, just did. I quickly got the things I needed and out the door I went. Got home, put the groceries up, got my snacks and flopped on the couch. Oh, the bliss. Home at last.
