Here I Sit (4) exhausted


I’ve just devoured a bowl of Kettle Ridge crisps – in the cheese and onion variety – and yes a bowl – because I’m trying not to eat the whole packet – but after this I shall shower and then maybe eat the rest. A post work drink feels as though it’s needed as well but I don’t want to compound my exhaustion and feeling of complacency with alcohol just yet.
And besides, I have this thing where I like to get my chores done before I sit down – so once I’ve sat down I don’t have to get up again EVER! It can sometimes mean I don’t get to sit down for a few hours because I always seem to have a never ending list of things to do.
Tonight it’s put my running stuff through on a gentle wash and it now also means washing the duvet cover off my bed – because the dog was sick (think it’s sick – doesn’t smell like the other?) on it during the day – not a lot and no awful smell but enough that it needs washing – so tonight or in the laundry basket for another day?? Plus, I want to have a long hot shower – really would love a bath but I’m too tired for that!
Why am I so tired – no really why am I so tired?? 
Today was an easy day, a sit on your bum at work day, a do your own thing at your own pace day, a day that demanded very little physically – there were a few phone calls that required a bit of pep but surely not just that!
No you’re right my friends – actually I do know why – first of 2 things – it’s that time of the month and it’s the first day so I just feel flat, heavy and tired – oh the curse! But the second is my ongoing drama’s at work – I had a fairly reliable tip off that the incompetent boss was going to have a word with me today – so the anticipation of that was exhausting. I needn’t have worried she made it easy for me, at 5ish, during the end of day tasks and while training the new favourite in the end of day tasks she interrupted me from my ‘other job’ – my not under her control or in her payroll job (why she thinks that’s ok – it should be during ‘her’ time) – and asked if I had a minute! ‘A minute – I’ll give you a friggin’ minute girlfriend!’ is what I would like to have said..but the coward in me (or was it the controlling one?) said ‘What now, hmm a bit busy, not a good time!’ Too which she backed away and so ‘Oh well if you do have the time I would like a word’ – I’ll give you 2 words sweet heart (and luckily I’ve rated my blogs PG) Fuck OFF!
