Finished work for the week which has been a little too stressy in places and my body is now processing it - I feel absolutely floored. My mood chart has been veering a little too much in the blue the last couple of days (varying degrees of wearyness) so I guess I shouldn't be surprised. I've been a little more open with people this week and I haven't always set boundaries, allowing some conversations to go on way too long - and in some it feels like we're talking past each other -that's been really difficult. Perhaps I'm expecting people to be too much like amateur psychologists in "getting" me. Suddenly remember that "theory of mind" is a thing and I'm going to have to consciously work at it.
Make a mental note that I'm going to have also learn how to adjust my conversational style to the person I'm talking to (seems really obvious now!) and that I need to manage my social exposure and find strategies to exit if it's getting a bit much- suddenly I'm annoyed that my psychologist has been proved right again. This stuff isn't easy.
Disappointed I'm not in the "Friday rush" anticipating the weekend, cooking a homemade burger will be the highlight of my evening. Plus snoozing with the cat.
