Grouchy

Oh my goodness but have I ever been grouchy!

The last two days, you really, really did not want to be anywhere near me.  No-body could do anything right.  No-body TRIED to do anything right.  I had to do it all myself.  WAAAAAAHHHH!

“No-body loves me.  Everybody hates me.  Guess I’ll go eat worms.”

I was a bear.

Fact of the matter was, I was trying to do too much.

I went to bed Monday night without having completed something.  That something was actually a pretty big something.  A little over 300 people rely on me doing this thing every. single. day and it did not get done.  That really bugged me.  I got up Tuesday, early, and did it right away.  That did not take away the sting of not completing it on Monday, though.  So, I started off Tuesday upset with myself for not getting it done.

Tuesday was also a rest day.  That meant no endorphin’s from running to make my day a little easier.  Bad combination.  I had a TON of housework to complete from Monday, plus mowing, plus doing the grocery shopping.  Too much again.  Somehow, I managed to get everything done on Tuesday and go to bed with my list complete.  I felt better.

This morning was supposed to be my long run day.  When I woke up we were in the middle of a thunderstorm.  I knew the run was iffy when I went to bed due to the weather forecast.  I rolled over and went back to sleep.

I finally got up late.  At 6:15.  And I did not care!

I cooked breakfast.  Fed the chickens, dog, cats, rabbit and husband (not in that order).  I took my coffee and sat down at the laptop and fiddled around for an hour.  Enjoyed myself!

The rain had let up and it was beginning to get warmer and more humid.  I decided to go on a “just for fun” run.  So, I did!  It was toasty and humid and I had a great time!

As soon as I got home, everybody was hungry so I made lunch, cleaned up the kitchen, fed the dog, again, started a load of laundry and took a shower.  Made myself presentable for what was left of the day.

Then, I decided, “You know what?  I’m still tired.  I’m going to take a nap.”  So, I did.  20 minutes.

The dryer beeped.  I folded laundry and put it away.  Made a cold pasta salad for dinner.  Did a little housework.  Sat down again at my laptop with some ice cream and watched an episode of House on Netflix.

I have decided that I am only one person.  It is impossible for me to do it all.  There is only one of me and she is not as young as she used to be!  So what if I only dust once a week?  I may not run the sweeper every. single. day.  We will see how long this lasts.  Maybe the end of the day?   HA!  I cannot stand my house being out of order so it may not last that long.  🙂
