Today was a bad day!
We all have them. It's completely normal.
It was one of those days where one day feels like a week.
I'm going to try to turn it around though. For every negative thing. I'll think of a positive.
It down poured basically my entire drive to Elgin this morning. It didn't pour the entire way & it didn't hail.
I was in the same, freezing cold room for approximately 10 hours. I missed some traffic.
I had 10 minutes to get lunch and get it down. It was delicious. Yes, maybe I had a bit of a stomach ache after since I ate it so fast, but it was good!
I repeated myself all day and started to lose my mind. The majority of the day I worked with Maria, a staff member, that I really came to like. We got along really well.
After spending the majority of the day with Maria, I had her rhythm down so I knew just how to time my talk so we had a great flow. Then a different staff member came and annoyed me like crazy. This was at the point of the day when I didn't want to think at all. And she kept interrupting my talk. At least I got to work with Maria the majority of the day.
I talked nonstop all day (10+ hours). Yes, I do like to talk... but not that much. It's a bit extreme.
Looked for a parking spot for a long time. I found one.
I got home and knew that I was in an awful mood. I glanced through my emails from the day and knew I had to calm down.
What calms you down when you're stressed or upset?
For me, it's the lake. I immediately changed into shorts and a t-shirt and made my way to the lake. Today the temperature outside was a typical summer day, which I seem to have forgotten how to dress for (it's been so hot). I was cold in my shorts and tee on the lake.
The lake definitely helped calm me down and make me feel better.
My trip to the lake is the reason I was able to write this post. Otherwise I may have just cried in my room.
My thoughts are much clearer and I am able to put things into perspective.
But to leave things on a happy note. I was able to pull myself together to wish my parents a HAPPY ANNIVERSARY!
I also got to hear my friend from home's voice, even if it was only for a minute, not on a voicemail, and it just immediately relaxed me.
The Cardinals made me happy too. Thank you, Cardinals.
But anyway, HAPPY ANNIVERSARY MOM & DAD! It sounds like they're enjoying their vacation so I'm happy for them!
