what a day!

started out crappy from the start. my taxi to work went a different route and that really stressed me out. then the escalator was broken, so was the lift at the station. when i finally got in my building, there were maintenance guys working on the door. this was really noisy. it also meant i had to go a long way round to get to the bathroom. then i had to swap my laptop at work and it kept doing system upgrades and restarts. plus my day was filled with unnecessary phone calls. and it was super cold and windy outside. i don't know how else to explain this other than a day filled with utter chaos from start to finish. i am thankfully now in bed with my heated blanket and wrapped in my duvet. i did some yoga nidra which has helped a bit but still feeling really ramped up. can anyone else relate? how do you bring yourself back down? i am new here. i realise none of the things that happened were life threatening and i might sound like i am overreacting. but it really really messed with my mood today.

  • Not a good day, the neighbours are being really nosiy again and I had to come inside to get away from them. That was after I'd played hunt the tools because they hadn't been put away which really annoys me, a 5 minute job takes at least twice as long because I can't find the tool I need and my secuters have gone really blunt and I think I will have to get some new ones.

    A friend is moving to Sctoland at the end of the month and a few of us are supposed to be going out for a meal, but I'm going to have to bow out as there's almost nothing on the menu I can eat, they have a big veggie menu, but nearly all of it has dairy which I can't have. There's one dish on the menu that I could eat, only I dont like it and if that was off for any reason then there would be no main courses I could eat, I don't want to end up sitting there whilst everyone eats and I can't, so it seems easier not to bother at all, and I'd spent the last few days talking to myself that this would be a good time to challenge my social phobia, now it's been taken out of my hands.

  • Hi

    Would it be possible to ask your friend if you could both choose somewhere else to eat out that suits everyone? 
    Also if your secuters are blunt you could perhaps order a sharpening stone, I use them for re sharpening my chisels from time to time and it’s quite a relaxing thing to do for me. 

  • Anglesey is a bit of a food desert, especially when it comes to eating out and I have so many allergies and intolerances I'd need a breast plate to inscribe them all on instead of a bracelet or pendant.

    My secuters are blunt because they've been badly sharpened before, I do have a sharpening stone and I know how to use it properly, but sharpening anything scissor like is much more difficult. Keeping them sharp is fairly easy, but not when they're become unevenly blunt and need resetting. At least if I get a new pair I can get ones that are good quality and comfortable to hold.
