Pity Party

So today was a Monday masquerading as a Tuesday, which is the problem with a three day weekend. It was a truly yucky day. First, it rained. And it has been raining here every day for over a week now. Not just popcorn thunderstorms in the afternoon, with the sun up until then. No, it has been cloudy and rainy all day, every day, for over a week. And since I am short and don't have any galoshes, my pants always wick the water up to my knees so I walk around with soggy, heavy pants all day. I really need some galoshes!

Another yuck thing about today was that I felt bad. I had a serious brain fart over this entire three day weekend, and did not take my thyroid meds all weekend. This left me feeling like I was coming down with the flu when I got up this morning. Body aches, cold/chills, headache, depressed and run-down. I took my meds this morning, and after tomorrow morning's dose I should start feeling better. This was my own stupidity.

I was also very tired today, not just because of forgetting my meds. Emmy, my four-year-old, all of a sudden decided last night that she is afraid of thunder. And it stormed a few times over night. So she slept in my bed most of the night, which meant that I did not sleep. Then Issy also had a bad night. Sometimes she cries really hard in her sleep, and no one can wake her up or comfort her. This happened last night.

To top it all off I just had a rotten day at work. Not that everything was bad, and there were actually a couple of good moments, but mostly it was drama that I did not feel up to dealing with since I already didn't feel good and had not slept. My coworkers were also really glum today, which didn't help. The computer system wasn't working properly, either. I really just felt like crying, but I kept it together.

So this has been my pity party, thanks for coming. Yes, I know plenty of others have it worse off than me. I know I am blessed to even have children, good medical care, and a job. Was this the worst day ever? Far from it. I've had worse days within the past two months alone. I have some yummy homemade apple crumble and vanilla ice cream in the freezer, which I think will help me bring my pity party to a close. I know I'll feel better after a good night's sleep, and I just hope that can actually happen tonight!
