nerves of steel......

ok, so last night i drove to lexington immediately after work for a dinner meeting/continuing education program on diabetes...the weather was fine on the way up, but during the evening the temp dropped and the snow fell......so by the time we headed home the roads were slick......i probably have much more experience driving on such roads than the next person, having grown up and learned to drive in a northern state..one that never called off school if the snow didn't even cover ones shoes walking out to the car........but this higher comfort level with snowy roads doesn't mean that i prefer such conditions......and thus driving home i was at one of those heightened states of adrenilin flow...to the point that when i finally pulled into the garage i was absolutely exhausted...physically......yet could not go to sleep when i went immediately to bed because of all of those stress hormones.......having been reminded of just what these hormones do during dinner, i could only lay awake and contemplate them all later on.......oh my.......according to the animated physician/speaker from Vanderbilt, i should have gotten on my treadmill and walked it off........oh well........
