I check work emails when I get up in the morning so I have an idea of what I need to brace myself for. I was totally caught off-guard by the idiocy of an email sent from my boss. After several ranting draft emails, I finally composed a politically correct response and sent it off. I figured it would be a good idea to calm down before driving in, so I rearranged my closet and got all my clothes hung up in the proper order. I was still furious. I emailed in late to work and called my office "partner in crime" to vent. I was a little surprised at how much came spilling out! That email apparently triggered a whole lot of pent up frustration over a whole lot of things!
After I got off the phone, I laid down on the bed with my baby kitty and started to cry. I could not get back out of bed. So I called my husband; luckily he was at his desk. And the tears really started to flow! He asked if I was okay and if he needed to come home. We talked for a bit and I told him I just needed to put my big girl panties on and go to work. Then I cried through my shower.
There was a wonderful surprise on my desk when I walked in to my office. A friend had left me a pumpkin bucket with baby food, sippy cups, and Cheetos! It was simply perfection. I got through the rest of the day without getting fired and actually managed to accomplish a few things. After I got home, my husband walked in with flowers...his status immediately upgraded from toad to prince.
I expect a few bumps in the road on this journey, but I usually navigate them on my own. Today I learned how blessed I am to have so many truly caring people in my life to love and support me. Thank you 💝
