Mildly Out of Sorts

I've been feeling a bit glum despite efforts to cheer myself up. Today was one of those days when, if I were still in the cycles, I would think I had PMS. Without that excuse, I guess I'm just ... a bit out of sorts. I locked myself out of my office, I kept dropping things, I spilled something greasy on my favourite pants. There is a strong, rather cold, wind blowing, and my walk with Robinson in the park this afternoon was not all that pleasant. I did badly on all my exercises on Wii Fit, and it told me I had a fit age of about 65 :( (previously, I had come in at considerably under my age). Robinson now appears to have an upset tummy, which is going to necessitate my giving his bum a wash...

It's not late, but I feel that I should go to bed and get this day over with.

Hello Intertext!

Thanks for the invite :-)

I shall be very slow over here until I figure out how I want to manage the LiveJournal-Dreamwidth interaction, but I certainly appreciate getting here!

Some days are just like that. I hope you -- and Robinson -- feel better in the morning.

Ugh. In the hopes that you'll be feeling back in sorts by the time you read this, I'll offer a wonderful grease-cleaning tip. If you don't need it, or if the trousers are delicate dry-clean only, skip the rest!

Take an old, clean toothbrush, dunk it in washing-up liquid (just regular, not for machine dish-washers!) and rub into the grease spot in circular motions. Then wash as normal. I found a video on-line a while ago done by a woman who'd been 'a lady's maid for many years', and it's worked so far for me.

Some days just seem to go slightly wrong from beginning to end. I hope Robinson feels better soon.

I hope today is a better day for you.

Sometimes, the universe is an obstacle course. Some other times, it's a downhill walk toward a field of flowers. Your other times are coming.
