anne_dThis is getting old...
As long as I keep busy, I'm okay*. As soon as I sit down, a big black cloud of dejection, misery and worry descends upon me and I feel like I'm going to cry. I can't keep moving forever; heck, I can't do all the chores that need done because I run out of steam pretty quickly. Then I lose my temper at Elder Daughter, who is an expert at getting on my last nerve, or The Husband says something stupid and twee, and it all goes sideways, adding to my store of guilt.
Said store being augmented by the fact that my miniature disasters and minor catastrophes are nothing compared to those around me, and what the heck right do I have to whine about it?
Or Shadow smacks me because I don't know what she wants, and neither does she, and I yell at her. I yell at the cat. [eyeroll]
My HMO doctor is no help, she thinks I need more exercise. Yeah, maybe if I wasn't already so tired and frustrated, I could join a gym, if we weren't so broke...
Meh. Okay, two good things:
1) Robin McKinley has the cover and some pages of her forthcoming new book, Chalice up on her blog**. September. I am so looking forward to that.
2) I just read a glowing review of the new X-Files movie on Salon. I probably won't see it until next weekend because I don't do crowds, but it sounds wonderful. Nothing specific except about Mulder/Scully, and that's what matters anyway.
I hope your day produces at least two good things. Me, I need tea and toast, and it's laundry day, and I still don't know if Ladies' Day is Saturday or Sunday, and if it's Saturday, I have errands to run today, and and and... As Charlie Brown would say, "AAAAAUUUUUUGH!".
*Except when I'm walking, then all the worries come to the front of my brain and plague me, which rather defeats the purpose of going for a walk.
**And a link to the Publisher's Weekly review. Good, although they pigeonholed it as a children's book. Robin says, not so much.
