It’s that mid-month hitting-the-wall time. So let’s gripe.

I am tired. Other people’s mistakes determined the course of my day today, which really rubs me the wrong way. I am at the mercy of other people’s decisions right now, which makes me feel angry and powerless. Much of my work at the moment is so mind-numbing that it drives me to tears. The wind is howling outside, which sets me on edge and makes me want to run and hide my head under a pillow. And I am well and truly sick of having this stupid cough.

Okay, enough griping. I am warm and cozy. I have had a lovely dinner and I am now sipping a cup of tea which Jeremy made for me. The cough medicine is helping. And I am not going to work anymore this evening. In fact, I am going to put all stressful thoughts behind me, sit on the couch, drink my tea, and chill out. And tomorrow will be a better day.
