Weepy But Not Weeping

I find it funny how just when I'm going to finally take time for myself... my time goes right out the window. And pressure starts pressing down on the shoulders. Much of what I'm talking about is work related but not all of it. Sadly, what is work related started worming it's way into my other relationships. Luckily, I kept reminding myself that this is a no-go in my life. Work stays at work. Unless it's a social thing.

Suddenly, in the last week I've found myself feeling two emotions regularly... one, I've been feeling instantly bitchy at times. Kind of showing up whenever it wanted and making a point of letting others know that they're annoying me. Sadly, it's not that they're really annoying me though - it's that I'm just feeling generally annoyed. When I don't get to do my thing in the order in which I like, I'm discombobulated for the rest of the day. Routine, I guess you could say. Two, I've been getting crazy weepy. Not crying weepy, just choked up. On Saturday, seeing the kids out getting their candy made me choked up, over and over. And forget it during the game - I am still surprised I didn't start crying. Harry Kalas almost got some more tears. And MJ did actually get some real tears from me in the beginning of the movie.

I wouldn't say these are mood swings. Maybe it's just PMS plus having a pile of work that's finally, just now, getting a smidge smaller. Unlike my scale, btw. I guess I shouldn't expect too much after just one week but I want to see that weight off - NOW. Ok... I'm willing to wait it out and feel a sense of accomplishment from it. I'm willing to be the dreaded "p" word.

Patient.
