My Sister and I decided my Deadly Sin would be Wrath
It's my favorite time of month! I always look forward to it with such anticipation. (Actually, I kind of do. You know... just to be sure.) I always know when it's coming because my left knee hurts and I feel uncomfortable in my own skin for a couple days before hand.
All I wanted today was to get through my speech without feeling like I was going to die a slow, horrible death by cramps. Oh, did I not tell you? I joined Toastmasters at work. It's actually kind of nice. I get to not work for an hour every week, and get paid for it. And I made my first speech today. It went really well, and no, I did not have cramps. Yet. Those came later. So I'm pretty happy about it. Oddly enough, I'm a pretty decent public speaker, despite everything else. Perhaps the public speaking part of the brain is different from the small talk/trying to make conversation part?
I started feeling grumpy this afternoon. On the way home from work, there's a left turn that absolutely needs the green arrow. I don't even know why they have just the plain green light because a steady stream of cars comes from the other direction at all hours of the day. So the light turned green and I totally couldn't go but some jackhammer decided to start honking his horn at me anyway. But it's either that or try to get through the street that goes from 3 lanes to one in about 50 yards, where absolutely no one will let you in. Oh, and there's usually some bum with a sign asking for money there, too.
I'm at Matt's house now. I was starting to get pissed because he didn't answer the door soon enough. Ha, it's that bad. I feel ok physically right now. Not awesome, but not as bad I have been in the past. I feel as though I am oversharing quite a bit today. But it seems like a lot of people are. Maybe it's something in the air.
One thing I know is I'm craving cheese. Like, I really want some, bad. I also want a milkshake.
Uh oh, was mine an overshare? I didn't even know. Awkward.
Sorry for your grouchiness. I can relate.
Even though I am actually an OK public speaker as well.. I still feel like I am going to have the runs everytime I am about too start. Once I get going.. I'm good.. but the nerves are always there to begin with.
Hope you got your milkshake or some cheese. :)
I want a milkshake too!!
Can you believe I used to be a pretty good public speaker, but I hated because I have stage fright? Ironic.
I'm not sure why, but your use of the word 'jackhammer' in this post totally cracks me up. I may have to steal the context.
Haha. I think I heard someone say it on the radio once.
