The Froo-Froo Bits:

This was a bad day in the emotions dept. I have days like this one sometimes, and they are just sucktastic. Everything is too much. The world, in my perception, is too loud, too bright, too crowded, too busy. Its jarring and confusing and all I really want to do is to run home and pull my blankie up over my head. However, hiding under one's blankie doesn't exactly get the bills paid, now does it? (if you've found some magic way to both hide under your blankie and get the bills paid, please share?)

I hate days like this. No amount of reasoning with myself, kicking my own butt, or otherwise cajoling helps. Before we started doing this diet, food didn't exactly help, but it did buffer. I can't do that anymore. So, now I have to slog through the jagged mess that is my brain, and hope that it stops soon.

So far, the jagged mess is kicking my ass. Here's hoping for a second wind sometime soon.
