    Hello everyone. Sorry I am not in the greatest of spirits today.

    Today I was sore from cycling yesterday (stupid health) so decided to take a train with me bike (so i could cycle home) - it takes me, in this weather, about 20 minutes to cycle to work on average. Train took 45.

    Then someone decided that they wouldn't make room on the bike allowed path... as they do, so when I tried to go around them... they used their bag while saying "F**K off!" to push me onto the major busy road... luckily I didn't fall over (bless not changing the tires yet to smoother ones...) and made it work safely but as you can imagine - that didn't put me in a happy mood for the rest of the day.

    Then the day was spent doing the most boring work of them all - so I feel I am given all the rubbish tasks at the moment... really hate how they changed my job.

    Then on the way home it was cold, my flat is freezing cold and the heating isn't even making a dent in the temp of the house... missed TWO parcels while I was out today (which means going on Saturday, which means time spent with my OH who is brave enough to travel down will be lost collecting sodding parcels) and generally well - everything seems to be just P***ing me off.

    On top of all of this because I was so P****d off today, i forgot to ring the cat people.

    So I have had a cup of tea and a bacon sarnie for tea, and now sitting in my freezing flat feeling very grumpy and a little bit alone. OH is really busy with an assessment that needs to be handed in tomorrow, so trying to not call him or bother him so he can get going on with it because his uni is important but its not what I want to do right now.

    sorry, just been one of those days. Breathe... and breathe... calm blue oceans...

    beanie:
    Definitely meet for a coffee once this blasted weather is over!

    As long as it is the last pants day of the month I will live :D just days like this with people acting like that just get me so wound up and annoyed.

    I also keep thinking "what if, what if?" and that is just the worst part - makes me upset and angry all at once!

    Hi Random, can you call the parcel people and arrange another delivery so you don't waste your Saturday?
    ...Linda xx
    It's easy to give in to that negative voice that chants "cant do it" BUT we lift each other up.
    We dont count all the runners ahead of us & feel intimidated.
    Instead we look back proudly at our journey, our personal struggle & determination & remember that there are those that never even attempt to reach the starting line.
