Days like today make me realize that my grip on functionality and serenity isn't as firm as I would like. Something annoying happened, not the end of the world but irritating and involving a fair amount of work, and it really knocked the pins out from under me. I tell myself it's not a big deal, but I got more upset than I would like by this. Perhaps my allergies are a contributing factor: I've had a sore throat since yesterday morning, making swallowing painful, and the runny nose is getting on my last nerve. Or maybe my next-to-last nerve, since the last nerve is currently dealing with the task of rewriting a document I don't understand, about a procedure which has nothing to do with my job, in an area where I have no experience.
Last Friday was a really good day, for work. Today I turned into Cranky McCrabbyPants.
Ice cream helped. Fuzz therapy helped.
And now, I'm going to put in a movie, something brainless I've seen a million times, and knit. And pray that tomorrow is better.
That picture totally cracked me up.
ReplyDeleteAll my students were out of sorts today, too. Tomorrow's another day. (And thank God it'll be Wednesday.)
Today was such a long day at work...not just long in hours, but long psychologically...as in, it felt almost like February except there was no snow outside.
ReplyDeleteTomorrow must be better, right?
