Today, the storm came.
Rather, today the storm broke.
It was a seemingly small thing, not really that big of a deal in the long or the short run. I misremembered a movie time and by the time I got there, Justin and Jenn had left. And I went off the deep end. Even I'll admit that my emotional state was completely out of proportion to the problem. It wasn't even a problem, really!
First I got angry- how dare they not wait until I showed up?! Never mind that Justin had called me twice and texted me, and only after waiting at least 15 minutes did they (logically, since I worked last night) assume I had fallen asleep.
Then I got morose- don't they love me? Don't they want to hang out with me? There were tears, there was sobbing, there was a general feeling of pervasive loneliness and depression (the weather is not helping today, God!). I think I called Justin like four or five times.
Then there was self-deprecating sarcasm- of course I'm being irrational and unreasonable! Do you know how stressed and exhausted I am (which I then proceeded to detail for Justin).
Then there was deep breaths and a little retail therapy (which I excused by deciding I was buying myself an early birthday present), followed by music. Lots of music.
"It's funny how some distance makes everything seem small."
I still need a nap, though. I need more time, time to sleep.
One more thing.
Please stop asking me when my next book is going to be done. You're stressing me out.
