for anyone. I had a really crabby day yesterday. I blame stress and hormones, because I am a woman, afterall, and what else could it possibly be?
I have a LOT on my plate right now. For the most part, I can put most of it on the back burner. But every now and then, the stressful bits come off the back burner and play around in my head. One thing leads to another. As more minute things happen, the crappiness (and the crabbiness) stockpiles.
Rather than allow this to happen, I have a plan, or two.
When things seem overly annoying, I can:
- Put on my sneakers and take a walk (or a run)
- Grab my sketchbook and find something to draw. It’s good to have a project that involves concentration, so I can do one of my art class projects.
- Grab a glass of wine. Of course, this doesn’t work out well mid-morning.
- Stop internalizing things. It’s not necessary to spew out things to people as they annoy you, either, unless it’s really tactful.. especially at work. But this doesn’t stop me from pulling out a piece of paper or opening notepad and writing something to make me feel like I’ve got it off my chest, either.
- Try to think of things that are not bad, although sometimes this is difficult mid-crisis 🙂

Were you crabby yesterday? I hadn’t noticed…. 😉

I used to hate Soph coming home from work on a daily basis because I knew she was going to dump the pain she’d been bottling up all day long. It was painful to be on the receiving end of a big dump and it was painful when she got to the end of the dump and inevitably burst in to tears. But now she’s got a new job and I love to have her home in the evenings. 🙂 I don’t have a solution though. If I did I’d patent it.

I think this is good reading for anyone who needs a boost of “I can get through this day” -edness.

Remember what your mother told you . . .”Don’t be a Crabby Appleton!”
Easy to say, but I know you have a lot on your mind. Just remember this:
Grant me the serenity
To accept the things I cannot change;
Courage to change the things I can;
And wisdom hide the bodies of those who pissed me off.
