Why am I so Freakin’ Irritated Today??
Yes, more than other days. Hard to imagine I know.
Yes, I realize that I woke up with another headache. This has been an almost daily occurrence for weeks now. The pain usually comes with that but not necessarily irritability. But today? I’m cranky as all get out. If I weren’t 57 I’d eat chocolate for three days and write it off as PMS. But since I know that isn’t it…
I have a doctor’s appointment this afternoon with the cardiologist. I actually like that crew over there so that isn’t the source of my irritation either.
I put out the trash and washed dishes so I’ve at least accomplished something today. I’ve read everything on Medium there is for me to read, comment, and applaud. I’ve checked both email accounts multiple times, as well as Slack. I’ve been on YT and rode those animal abusers like show ponies (pun not intended — actually I don’t think it’s a pun at all). So I’ve been productive.
It was actually two different articles by two different writers that made me realize I was in a bad mood. Normally I’d read “silly” stuff, roll my eyes, mumble ‘whatever’ out loud, and move on. Not today though. Both stories are still on my mind. If you’ve been following me for a while then you know what that means.
