I’m not coping with today too well.

My body feels like it’s moving through molasses and my brain is even slower.

I’m overwhelmed by the people talking around me.

I just can’t people right now.

I’m having so much trouble with sleeping tonight. I just want to read about soft pining boyfriends.

Usually cold wet days make me sleepy but I still can’t settle. I doesn’t help that I also want to draw soft pining boyfriends.

Sleep has been difficult lately.

I’m finding myself getting irritated very easily lately, especially at work. I have no patience for people which is a problem when you deal with customers. Even normal order taking makes me want to throw the phone at the wall.

My life doesn’t feel like it fits right now. It’s like a scratchy coat, that’s too big in the shoulders and too small around the hips. Just uncomfortable and unpleasant.

I want to kick and scratch and bite and run until I find a place where I can feel more settled. I’m old enough to know that’s not how things work but don’t have enough experience to know what I can actually do about it.

The days feel to short to do anything of real purpose. Most jobs ask too much time of us, I think. Why do I need to waste more hours on someone else’s fulfillment than my own? And I usually like my job.

I hope the feeling is also fickle and will leave soon. I’d rather not be like this much longer.

good things

when the kitty just knows when you need a cuddle, roasted veggies, reading memoirs in the bath, finishing a crossword puzzle, cinnamon rolls on sunny mornings, that first sip of coffee, talking to an old friend after a long hiatus, new growth on your plants
