Some days just suck

[cjsmith]

I got to sleep at midnight after a Difficult Talk. Naturally, I was wide zappy awake at 5:30. I hate mornings like that.

Somewhere a wise friend wrote about the HALT acronym: if you feel crappy, are you Hungry, Angry, Lonely, or Tired? Splendid: all four right now.*

I'm really glad it's Friday. I don't have to do anything useful this evening (well, I have a lot to do, but it could be done tomorrow) and I can sleep in if I like.

*Yeah, that's after the oatmeal and enormous mug of tea. No, you can't kick anyone's kneecaps for me, though I appreciate the offer in the spirit of loyal friendship. True, Rob will be back Sunday night, so it'll be over soon. No, sadly it's not feasible to nap at work.

edit: Rob's back NOW. The weather in Chicago was bad enough to cancel the event. He got the phone call while boarding. Boy am I glad he didn't get it AFTER boarding.

First of all *HUG*. I had a similar day myself yesterday. Today didn't start off much better, but has gotten better at least.

:(

Don't those days just SUCK? I'm glad yours has improved. And hey: FRIDAY!

[lkeele.livejournal.com]

I'm sorry your day sucks. :( BIG hugs.

[cjsmith.livejournal.com]

Thanks! Big big hugs to you too -- virtual ones for now, to be redeemed later when we can.

[kimatha.livejournal.com]

Yeah, you totally don't want to hug Ms. Radioactive right now.

[cjsmith.livejournal.com]

Maybe I'd get philosophy superpowers!

[rfrench.livejournal.com]

At the rate the weather is going, I could be here all weekend after all...

[cjsmith.livejournal.com]

Oh no. Is it really that bad? I mean, I'd love to have you here, but...

[juverna.livejournal.com]

My acronym would have to include "Premenstrual", because that's so often the cause (and I usually don't realize it until the next day). PHALT??

But anyway, *HUG*! I hope your day improves from this point forward. Sending you virtual chocolate-chip cookies.

[cjsmith.livejournal.com]

Good point. Maybe I'm that too today. (My "cycle" is always on and thus in a sense I am also always pre! (Well, ok, I get a coupla days off every few months, but eh.)) Yeah! All FIVE! Muahahahahaaaa!

*BIG HUG* back to you. Thank you!

[hitchhiker.livejournal.com]

PLATH, which would explain a lot :)

[juverna.livejournal.com]

Ha! :D

[genderfur.livejournal.com]

Okay, that busted me out laughing.

[quasigeostrophy.livejournal.com]

*hugs* I don't have any wise words for dealing with it, unfortunately.

[cjsmith.livejournal.com]

Yeah, nor do I, except just to recognize that some days just suck and it doesn't mean the world's about to end. *hugsback*.

Want to go out to dinner with Randy and I tonight?

[cjsmith.livejournal.com]

Hi! That's an AWESOME offer, but tonight I think I'm going to sleep. Another time?

[allanh.livejournal.com]

Sure! This includes Saturday evening, if you wish.

You're also welcome to join us for dim sum at 10:00 AM on Sunday morning...

[cjsmith.livejournal.com]

Saturday = square dance club Christmas party. Sunday = a work thingy in San Francisco. But definitely some time. Monday, maybe? I dunno if you folks go out for dinner on random weeknights.

[allanh.livejournal.com]

Often.

[cjsmith.livejournal.com]

This coming Monday, if you're up for it? We can confirm closer to then, to take mood into account.

[allanh.livejournal.com]

I think that would work. I would normally suggest Hobee's (lots of yellow and orange foods that Rob can probably eat safely), but they're closed Monday night. However, I'm happy to entertain nearly any reasonably possibility, since Randy and I are still settling into the area. :)

[rampling.livejournal.com]

More *hugs* and *kitty-purrs*. Sounds like a sucky day. :P

[cjsmith.livejournal.com]

Some days just are. Man, you wouldn't believe what I tried to say to people at lunch. I couldn't even construct grammatical English sentences. Zzzzzzzzz!

[wcg.livejournal.com]

Poor CJ. *pet*

[cjsmith.livejournal.com]

Aw, thanks. (tired little smile!)

[hitchhiker.livejournal.com]

*hug*

hope you feel better soon!

[cjsmith.livejournal.com]

*hugback, with interest* Thanks!

Today...

[zyxwvut.livejournal.com]

You've got me lucky to feel only about two out of four. (Not five, not for me.)

::hug hug, pat pat::

P.S.: THANK YOU for the link to noelfigart's post. Something good came out of this day, after all. %-}

Re: Today...

[cjsmith.livejournal.com]

*hugback* Yeah, I'm sure it's not five! :-) Sorry to hear you are having a cruddy day too. And you are very welcome. I liked that post a lot.

[kimatha.livejournal.com]

I like the HALT concept.

With my job, I'm A pretty much all the time. Hmmm.

I hope you feel uncrappy soon.

[cjsmith.livejournal.com]

Ugh, that's a crappy situation with the job. Any prospects for something less awful?

Thanks. I'm doing much better now.
