Every thought feels like it's soaked in vinegar. Every breath is like breathing sand. Everything I touch seems wrong.
Guess I just have to accept that this is how I feel right now (DBT skill: Radical Acceptance) and not make it worse by beating myself up over it (DBT skill: Non-Judgemental Stance).
But I did get some walking in today, plus twenty sit-ups. I'm feeling sort of proud that I managed to do anything at all. That, and rented a whole whack o' movies, including the last two Matrix films, some anime titles (Armitage III, Doomed Megalopolis and Project A-ko, the last two real blasts from my past), and a documentary about what life on Earth might be like 200 million years from now.
Tomorrow -- laundry. I'm so far behind I have to start gathering energy for it now.
Three other things that are stressing me out and making me sad, as well as gnash my teeth mightily:
1) Our upcoming rent increase. The landlord wants to raise it by a LOT more than the 1.5% allowed as a matter of course. Unfortunately, I read over the paperwork today and discovered that the time to put in a protest was no later than the end of May. The thought of having to pay an additional $40+ on this buttonhole of a suite has me screaming, so I'll have to screw up my courage and call the rentalsman tomorrow or Thursday and see if there's anything at all that can be done about this. There probably isn't. See the DBT skills above, again.
2) A letter from Revenue Canada. I still haven't gotten up the courage to open it. It's probably just a reminder to file our 2004 taxes, but still, in my current mood I'm jumping at anything and everything.
3) A dream I had last night, where Micawber was alive again. Yes, I'm still going on about that bloody cat. Sorry.
Okay, off to do some Hardy Boys flats. Or at least the best that I can.
EDITTED TO ADD: Another thing to rejoice over -- I just found out that your average cake donut has, count 'em, 30 CARBS. Per donut.
*whimpers like a little baby puppy, and looks longingly and hopelessly at the box of donuts I picked up for George on the way home*
