I'm having A Day. You (if you're female) may know these Days. A Bastard Day. One of those hormonal, itchy-brained, furious, tearful, despairing, hateful, exhausting days where simple human interaction is the Hardest Thing In The World and the only answer is to burn the house down, eat and drink too much and go back to bed (in someone else's house).
But today Things Will Be Different.
I will not go back to bed until I have worked on my thesis for at least two hours.
I will not eat my bodyweight in chinese food until I have exercised and done my physio.
I will not drink any wine until after 7.30pm (and trust me, on days like this that is a Big Ask).
I will not burn the house down even though it is very very messy and coming home after we visited J's houseproud friend this morning made me want to cry.
Tomorrow I will wake up and today will be over and I'll be proud of myself.
**THE FINAL SCORE: Bastard Day 0 - LBTEPA 4. Go me.

What do you call those days if your male ;-) Fight back, LBTEPA :-) Make s**t happen!!
Write today off already, find somewhere quiet and sunny and read the papers from cover to cover. Then work on the thesis and after that you can reward yourself with chinese and wine (even at 7pm). Good luck, I know you can get through today!
Tomorrow will definitely be better :D
understand. had an a week.
it got better. will for you, too.
Hmm, burn the house down. That would take care of the ironing and the floors. Must remember that one for my next crisis.
Hope your day worked out ok. Wishing you sunshine and blue skies for tomorrow.
I am so good. Just checked the Melbourne forecast.
Sunday: A fine and mostly sunny day although high cloud increasing later.
Tomorrow will be a better day. Just get though this one...:)
Take that, bastard day!
I hear you - had a couple of them too. Unfortunately I chose to crawl back to bed and now all the problems are worse.
But, thanks to you, I have rolled my sleeves up and I won't let another Bastard Day beat me :)
