so now you tell me
10/25/2003 GREETINGS Gemini
When someone asks you how you feel, take a minute before you respond.
Although the normal response from most people is usually 'fine,'
don't feel obligated to say it if you aren't feeling up to par.
Headaches, backaches or heartaches could be in the realm of physical
and mental ailments plaguing you today and there's nothing wrong with
letting someone else know that you're in pain. There might not be
anything that they can do to comfort you, but knowing you have a
shoulder to rest your head or cry on should help somewhat.
This has been the longest fucking day. I've spent it in varying stages of physical and mental pain, had a meltdown about the wedding, cried three times, done something awful to my shoulder so that I can't open doors in the office with my right hand, researched thirty seven certs, smoked six cigarettes and had three cups of coffee. All that on an empty stomach.
So no, I'm not really fine.
The wretched part is that there just isn't much to be done about any of it, unless someone is going to rewire my brain in the next hour or two. My mother has always gotten on my case about worrying too much, taking things too seriously, and that sort of thing. To be fair, I am frequently humorless, and a bit too much into controlling situations. But if I didn't worry, I'm not sure who would and I don't know that things would ever get done. So it can be said that I do it all to myself I suppose.
When I say right now, I mean right fucking now.
I'm tired. D&D tonight, and I don't really feel up to it, but I'm going anyway because I'm the reason we're playing Friday night this week. Guilt guilt guilt. All I really want to do is go somewhere and eat Mexican food and not do anything.

Sometimes it trips me out how similar we are. I feel the same way. :(
I hope you feel better soon. Hopefully, a good night's rest will give you a new perspective...at least a more calm perspective.

I do feel much better today. A night of silliness, some beers and a long night of sleep helped. Cheap tasty Mexican food too.
Thank you.
