I awoke nicely, the morning was grand (as grand as pre-work-morning can be), there were some groovy CRB tunes (I love Adam’s magical notes) in the car, so why did everything seem to go south at work today? It may have started simply because of no parking. There is rarely parking, anyway, but with the school year starting there are all sorts of meeting being held and even less parking spots. It could be my back (which has been aching for days) was not happy. At any rate, the day started on a sour patch.
There are goo
d days in session, and there are days which could be better. Some days clients just don’t WANT to and I get that. So I got to model the better way to behave when things aren’t going your way. I’m not sure how big of an impact that made, but I do know that not yelling or getting frustrated is huge. This kid lives with stress and impatience, so sitting quietly, shuffling cards and speaking gently was my answer.
The day continued along those lines – ermagerd, I just don’t even wanna think about it – but this creates an ideal opportunity for me to show these clients (yessss… through more modeling) better ways. It isn’t easy…we live the best we know how to – and learning new ways can be frightening. Still…I try to plant seeds.
And then the text came through. I am a tad ashamed to admit this, but that changed my whole day. I really am not that shallow, but…it has been a minute or two since I have been interested in someone and that feeling has been reciprocated. It’s a nice feeling. Have I been interested in any men the last however-many years? Ohhellyes, but it was not returned to me, so I kinda like this. I’m ready.
I headed to physical therapy for my four o’clock appointment. Lots of pain, but also many giggles. It would seem that the best exercises to help my back are hip raises and…kegel exercises. Yes, folks, that area is out of shape <walk of shame>…. I picked up my Maggie and because I was really starting to hurt, we stopped for a pizza at a new little place <not a chain!> which had great pizzas. Mags and I happily ate away to reruns of Park & Rec and then, DudeGuy started texting me. Yay! Tomorrow Maggie will help me purchase some girlie clothes (!!Robin!!!). Changes are afoot.
