UP AND HUMMING, INC.
CLEARWATER, FLORIDA

I’m just a 40 something gal who still feels like a 20 something gal, (I just said gal, what a dork), living in the Tampa Bay area of Florida. I have a wonderful husband, a great kid and 3 of the best damn dogs in the World, not really, I just lied, they’re actually kind of bad dogs but I love them anyway, so it’s all good. I have a small home based business which keeps me quite busy for most the day and sometimes into the night. I’m a true Southern Girl, originally from Tennessee and I like all things pink! I love me some Little Debbie Fudge Brownies and I’m also a little obsessive compulsive, (okay, a lot) and I am almost always cleaning something, I do love to clean. I also hum a lot, talk to my dogs in an irritating baby voice, and I watch a ridiculous amount of crime shows and reality T.V. Don’t you judge me, cause I know you’ll be calling me as soon as you need help hiding a body, you will. birthday but he’ll always be my kid. He moved out of the house just after graduating from High School but moved back about 3 years ago. Currently he just got accepted to flight school, he wants to be a pilot, (probably so he can fly far away from me,), and now we are working on the financial part. Flight School is ridiculously expensive and because he is my kid, he had to pick the Harvard of Flight Schools, Sheeesh! I’m not really sure why it started happening since I wasn’t even aware that I was doing it but friends and family starting noticing around 4 years ago. They would ask me why I was humming or what I was humming or tell me to stop the flippin’ humming. And it’s not a soothing or a nice hum either. No, it’s more like a Grandmother crossed with a dying whale sort of tune, very disturbing. I asked Doctors about it, I looked it up on WebMD and I Googled it. What I found out is that it could be anything from Alzheimer’s to depression, OCD, a sinus issue or possibly stress but it seemed to be almost always associated with OLD people. Thinking it was most likely stress, (because I am soooo not old!), I began to look for ways to de-stress and I started to run and the more I ran, the more I realized how much I love running. And before I knew it the humming stopped…KIDDING, It never really stopped but I learned to live with the humming and actually I kind of embrace it now, (believe me… you have no idea how fast you can actually run until you try to outrun the sound of your own humming!) I have learned to laugh at myself and the bonus is that I fell in love with running. Up and Humming
