I’ve been feeling kind of like this flower lately: starting to wilt. How’s THAT for melodramatic?
Work is on my nerves. Not the new job specifically, but rather just the entire environment at JSC right now. There is so much about the future that we just can’t answer, and no one is really happy. It’s hard not to be jaded and bitter as Congress does nothing and those of us way down the ladder wallow in uncertainty. For a while, I felt like I was able to stay fairly optimistic. I do not think this is true anymore.
The messy state of my house is on my nerves too. My “to do” and “to clean” and “to organize” lists are dozens of items long. I want to start checking things off, but I procrastinate, thus my annoyance at the clutter only grows. And yes, I know that doesn’t even make sense.
People are on my nerves too. Certain people specifically, but pretty much everyone in a broader sense. When EVERYONE is on my nerves, I think it’s probably a sign that I’M the problem, not them. So I am trying my best to be cheerful and upbeat, even though I am often grumpy.

I have also had a grumpy week — I need to adjust my attitude if I’m going to make it through the year with this class!

I fully understand the cleaning/grumpy/procrastination cycle. It needs to be done, but I’m too cranky to deal with it, so I do something else, and then it gets worse and then I’m cranky because it’s worse which makes me WAY too cranky to deal with it… lather, rinse, repeat.
