Mama said there’d be days like this…

Yeah, today was a crappy day.  Not for any big important reason, just a series of small annoyances that left me wanting to come home and simply go to bed.  Work is extremely frustrating at the moment for a wide variety of reasons.

I haven’t been good at my “leave work stress at work” resolution but I am going to work to be better.  I haven’t started decluttering at all though I did unpack from my trip to Dublin which was a big accomplishment for me.  I am looking forward to the upcoming three day weekend; Brad doesn’t have MLK day off so I am hoping to tackle the shoe closet that day, sorting and organizing and culling.  It would be a great start to my year and help me get back on track with wearing my cute shoes which have been hiding in a closet in the back bedroom for too long.

I’m working on travel planning as well- a five day getaway for my birthday in late Feb (maybe Malta or Cyprus), a week in Thailand for training and leave in late March, a couple of weeks in DC for training and vacation in May.  I’ll likely be here for the summer filling in for my boss, then will have time to take my big vacation in the autumn.  Just looking at all the pictures of vacation possibilities is making me smile- I could use some tropical beverages served up poolside…

Vacation dreaming and planning is an excellent way to get your mind off a crappy day!

All will be well.

I have the exact same experiences at work...while checking in at work during my convalescence, I came to realize the other people on the project hadn't spoken to each other. It's like they were waiting for me--who wouldn't be in the office--to referee.

Anyway, the trip planning sounds great...I won't be traveling anytime soon unless you count the trip moving me from Pittsburgh back to DC!
