Today I have been...

Tuesday 20 July 2010

mostly moping around. I am the sort of person that gets into a bad mood and then positively revels in being mardy and sorry for herself for a little while. Not the most praiseworthy of qualities, I know, but it doesn't generally last long and I mostly annoy myself, not other people.

Stupid food allergies. Their latest trick seems to be sapping all my energy and making me excessively tired and headachey. Fun eh? People at work are annoying me quite a lot today which hasn't helped either. Plus I'm feeling too ill to go swimming tonight so now I will spend the evening beating myself up for being lazy. See, told you I was feeling sorry for myself!

Look, it happens often! Self being mardy on Friday night when stuck at work till 9.45pm.

But...

I'm enjoying the torrential rain we're having today. I forced myself to do a moderate amount of work this afternoon. I have new followers *waves* - just a couple more of you and I have a lovely giveaway lined up. I cooked a delicious dinner. And now I'm going to have an extremely long Lush bath with a large glass of wine and a good book and my rubbish day can sod off. If the insomnia that's bothering me at the moment will also sod off, that would make life just about perfect.

And although I feel somewhat trampish today, I liked yesterday's outfit very much. Look, pretty frock!

  2. Awww, Alex! Big hugs and virtual love to you. The dress looks glorious and the red lipstick is stunningly gorgeous.
    Bath, Lush, wine, food and book sound like the perfect end to a shitty day. Fingers crossed for a better one tomorrow.

  4. I'm not suprised you were feeling sorry for yourself I would have been in a deep depression still at work at that time on a Friday! Dress is pretty as a picture on you. Scratch today off as a glitch and see what tomorrow brings, hope you get some sleep.

  6. Ha this sounds kinda familiar! That whole first paragraph sounds rather like me - & I don't half annoy myself!

    I'm also having issues with food allergies/intolerances at the moment - not fun at all..

    There are certain people at work also really winding me up & I seem to spend lots of time ranting about them at home, winding myself up more.

    One thing we don't have in common though is liking this weather! I'm not happy at all that it's pouring down with rain. In fact it's rather adding to my not so great mood to be honest..

    I hope your lovely sounding end to the day makes up for the rest of it a bit :)

    I'm looking forward to hearing more about your giveaway..

    By the way - you look great!

  8. I like the dress, if I was wearing that I couldn't possibly be sad! I've been a right mardy bum for the last couple of days because I want a nice job but all that is on offer are rubbish jobs. Boo.
