A little crabby

I’ve been feeling a little crabby and wondering if it’s because Mercury is going retrograde in a few days (yes, thanks to my Gemini sun being ruled by Mercury, I really do feel the retrograde energy).

On the other hand, it could be that I need more downtime but can never seem to figure out when or how to fit it in. Which makes me seriously cranky.

Ah well, I’m hoping an early night and a good rest will help me rise above my cranky crabbiness by tomorrow.

Slogging through the day

Yep, this was a slogging through it kind of day, from start to finish.

I resonated with the word, but had to look it up to make sure I was using it right. But, yeah, “to slog” is to walk or plod heavily; to toil. And “a slog” is a long, tiring walk or march; long, laborious work.

Which is how today felt.

It started with me oversleeping, followed by needed but unexpected calls and visits.

Then laundry, laundry, and more laundry.

Emails, organizing, details, and more emails.

Feeling tired throughout but trying not to let the crankiness take over. Sigh.

The good news is I got a lot done. The less-than-good-news is that I didn’t exactly stay centered in my inner peace and joy.

Oh well, all we can do is give it our best from moment to moment.

Stuff

Much of today involved dealing with stuff (especially papers), arguably my least favorite pastime.

Now I’m feeling tired and a little cranky, so I think I’ll keep this short in favor of doing my utmost to get to bed early (the good news is I’ve actually been making positive progress in this direction).
