2018: 18-34

The stress I’ve been under at work caught up with me this week and I had a meltdown yesterday over some banking issues. My credit card got declined when I was trying to hold a hotel booking and after being on hold with the bank for 40 mins only to get through to the wrong department and be put on hold for another 45 mins, they ended up telling me they had no idea why my card had been declined. Apparently the decline code that was showing up on their system wasn’t one they’d ever saw before.

It’s such a little thing but it pushed me over the edge and I got disproportionately angry and upset and cried myself into a migraine that lasted the rest of the day. The worst thing about it was that George was actually off yesterday so I ruined one of the rare days off we get together. I ended up picking a fight with him over my reaction and there was yelling and tears but he eventually managed to calm me down and I felt like an ass. He’s truly one of the best people I know and I’m so lucky to have found him.

I just have to get through the next six weeks or so. Hopefully without something like this happening again.

Today was good, the sun was shining, the temperature in the high teens and we went out for a Sunday roast which was so delicious and then walked it off by Pokemoning around the city centre for a few hours. And I got my Mew! Woo!


After struggling with the ‘Hot Zone’ segment of ‘Three’s Company’ for weeks I ended up writing something super short. I wasn’t too happy with it but I got one of those comments that make everything worth it on it so I’m feeling better about it. I hope to write more next week, I have so many ideas but it will depend on how drained I am after work. Writing ain’t exactly a stress free hobby most of the time and I need reduce my stress where I can. But, who knows, maybe the words will come easy?

Oh man, I am so sorry. I’m glad you are feeling better today. I absolutely hate it when I loose control and have a meltdown. It doesn’t happen very often. Unfortunately, I usually feel justified at least in why I lost it. “I’m right and you are wrong, so very, very wrong” I’m really working on being more gracious and trying to see the other side of the disagreement. I hope you can make it these next few weeks. I hope you can find at least a few small things that you can do for yourself- a little self care. Even just small things on a daily basis.
