State of Mind


So early this morning, I wasn’t exactly in the best frame of mind.  My throat is hurting (really?  Again?  I just got better, finally) and I could find absolutely nothing to wear to work and it’s cold out and it’s dark out and it’s going to be a supremely busy day at the old office (and the wolves are scratching at my door).

Ty and I made the trek downtown (in the cold and in the dark) together in his truck and I think I maybe said ten words the entire ride.  Which is brutal!  We rarely drive in together and when we do, I usually take the opportunity to chat his ear off about important things like Lainey Gossip (oh how I love the captive audience which comes from being in a car together). 

And then I got to my desk and I just felt angry and anxious – two feelings which I strongly dislike.

And then I got even more mad at myself for feeling angry and anxious – I mean, c'mon! It’s Friday!  I love Fridays!  I love the weekend!  I’m going to Motley Crue tonight!  I’m going out for what is going to be a fabulous dinner beforehand!  I can go shopping for new work clothes this weekend! 

And wouldn’t you know it, once I started to think about all of those good things, I started to feel better.  Oh, the positives of being positive.
