So ‘today’ — Friday — started off poorly. I first discovered that I’d done my math and my dates wrong for my automatic withdrawals from my bank account. Which created finance headaches… The worst kind of headache. Then I slept in on Friday so I had to rush to get to work on time thankfully I was only 5 minutes late… at least I didn’t sleep in that late. On my way I had to stop at the bank machine to deal with the financial headaches I’d discovered so that didn’t help. Oh well, another blog post I’ll rant more…
At work It was incredibly frustrating all day long. Long story, not necessary to go in to but I so wanted out early. It was a frustrating day all around and it felt like I couldn’t get a simple question. From the one that I’ve answered before and answered the same way as before (after a discussion with someone more experienced than me), only to find out from someone with more experience than that person that there is a better answer (and the better answer, I might add, is one that makes more sense to me anyhow… and one I’d asked about in the first place but got told ‘no that’s not right’… arg…). Not really a big deal in the long run, but as I consider careers, directions and life over this next year I need to keep in mind what I like, don’t like and how I want to proceed.
So, I couldn’t get out of work on time, as much as I tried to.  I was quite frustrated though and was definitely having a day where it would have been better to stay in bed. But I did manage to do that when I got home from work. I took a nap for a few hours and then went to a blues party at a friend’s place.
What fun. I feel in some ways like I’ve lost my running ‘mojo’ but I definitely have found my dancing mojo. We danced to lots of blues, and I had some fabulous dances and the slippy floor was quite a lot of fun to play with while dancing. There was even a fire place outside so there was a lovely campfire feeling to the whole thing. In fact, I had to work to drag some of my favourite leads indoors to dance. One in particular I think danced with me and that’s it. Spent the rest of the evening inside.
It was a day where I was grumpy about getting out of bed, but I was having so much fun at the end. A gong show day that ended well…
