I had a tough morning today. It started last night when I realized my ipod was missing. I had it sitting on my piano after a piano lesson. The neighborhood kids were over and then in the evening the ipod was gone. There is a family with three kids on our street, the kids are often at our house. They do not have a good home life and I feel bad for them. They are always hungry and I feed them all the time and treat them really well. The thought of them stealing my ipod made me so made because many people on our street shun them a bit and I have been nothing but nice. And then they steal from me. I did not know for sure if they took it, but it was the logical conclusion. I went to bed mad and woke up still a bit angry about it. When I woke up I was sleepy and didn't feel like running but I thought I better drag myself out and get some exercise. Without music the running was not even close to fun. Add to the sleepiness being angry, and my body was tired because I did a ton of work yesterday around the house. Plus we are planning on hauling rocks this evening. It was all too much. So I only ran/walked 2 miles. I decided to just run if I felt like it and walk when I was tired. I didn't push myself at all which does make me a slacker today but it was good mental/emotional rejuvenation. When I got home I stained some cupboard doors that needed one more coat and then when it wasn't so early, and right before the neighbor kids went to school I went over to inquire about my ipod. Sure enough, they had it. I was really nice to them but I do feel bad for the boy who took it because his mom was there for the conversation and I think he is going to be in trouble, and she doesn't seem like a very reasonable punisher. I am glad my ipod is back, I need it to keep me going.
