Greetings fellow Earthicans,
Today is where I am where i ended up today in the seat of the place of where I ended up on the day of when i am.
Let me start from the beginning....
Three days earlier....
It was a muggy afternoon which was unusual for me being in the dry desert for the past three years. The native Phoenicians insist that this is normal this time of year and cAll it 'monsoon season'. Just to be clear its nothing like 'Christmas Season' it's that one time a year it decides to rain out in the desert where the heavens open up and dump the entire contents of the Pacific Ocean onto the unwitting populace of this small town.
But I digress.
Today happen to be a sunny day, though the valley was surrounded by majestic clouds, the bordering mountains seemed to keep them at bay.
The temperature was 117 degrees(115 with the wind chill factor) I was finishing up at a site for the day. Loading up my car I had no intention of making a meeting, it had been a super long day and I was extremely tired. That was when I heard that voice.
It was a small voice, always been there, but until now drowned out byy need to feed. This time was different, being abstinent for a couple of weeks this voice was a siren song.
"J, J, you have done so good J, more than two weeks My friend and no sweets, no fried foods, no carbs J, you have done so well"
The voice was so so soothing. And said great things, patting myself on the back I smiled to myself, but it was not finished....
"Good job J, good job. You deserve to reward yourself, you deserve a treat, how about it J, how about a large blizzard from the Dairy Queen, make it two, you deserve it J..."
Stepping into my car I paused for a second and thought to myself I do deserve it, I did a great job, I feel great and have been doing awesome
So I jumped into my car and made it to my meeting with two minutes to spare
To be continued...
J
I am so proud of you. You are awesome for NOT listening to that voice.
ReplyDeleteThat voice speaks me too and says disquieting things. When I am too tired to workout, she tells me to relax... tomorrow is another day. I REALLY dislike that voice. I am stronger than her and you are stronger too!
