What sort of day have you had today?
« on: October 12, 2010, 04:43:05 pm »
Mine was ok.  Got up, sat around with a coffee and fAg for a bit, then dragged my backside out to make some pure water, and that took a couple of hours of course, so didn't really get going until 11.30.

But worked up to 4pm, which is not like me, but took on a new customer for £14 (3 bed semi) at 4 weekly clean.

Dropped by the veg shop on the way home, got some broccolli and eggs and think I will make an omelette for tea; be nice if I had some bacon or something with it.  The plan to get some pure water on the go tonight instead of in the morning.

If that was me I would get up a couple of hours earlier, then go back to bed whilst the van filled up  ;)

Not the greatest of days but the only trouble was inside my head (as it so often is).  Felt a bit rough this morning when I woke up with swollen lymph nodes and generally feeling grot.  Finally dragged myself out for some gentle work around midday till about 4.30.  I've just felt pretty damned angry this afternoon about some stuff.  I just hate it when my head won't shut up.  Even if I'm justified in my anger, it doesn't make it any better.  Without going into details the actual focal point of my angry feelings was relatively petty.  It's the themes that lie behind such things though that have the real potence.  i.e. someone else regularly making and breaking promises and the total disregard that the person has for how I feel (no, I'm not referring to relationship issues either).  Knowing the circumstances in which those themes were prominent early in my life explains to me why such things can still feel powerful 40+ years later.  It's amazing how such things can get amplified when not feeling well.
Didn't intend to get involved in psychobabble but anyone who has had to get to know themself will have an idea of the sort of thing I mean.

Got up at ten, straight on the lemsip. Leisurly bowl of cornflakes and chinwag with the neighbour.

Head down to first job, enormous glass thing overlooking the beach, lots of glass balconies etc.
Took the dog on the beach for an hour, swimming lessons involved chucking a tennis ball in a deep rockpool. When he is at full stretch I nudged him in.

Second job was another favourite, set in the woods. They get vip service, The text landed and I arrived 15mins later.

Both pay well so I am happy with that.

Quick pint before seeing trick cyclist for an hour.

Home for more lemsip

Not a cloud in the sky all day, a truly fantastic autumn day. Apart from the man flu.

if it is dirty it is fair game

It's amazing how things come back sometimes. I remember a few years ago my sister sent me over this booklet my primary school had printed for their 100 year anniversary. It praised the school, told how wonderful the teachers were and so on.

I was mercilessly bullied at that school for nearly 8 years. I was so angry and upset at the same time. Once I calmed down I couldn't believe my reaction to a simple booklet. I though I had dealt with all that years ago but obviously hadn't really and still haven’t.
