Fragile nerves
Folks, I haven't been feeling quite well for over a month. I've been struggling with a certain physical ailment that doctor appointments and prescriptions have not been able to remedy. At first it was just annoying, but now I'm at my wit's end. It's all I can think about and it's wearing me down. I don't know what to do to make myself feel better and I'm tired of shouldering it all on my own. These feeling are magnified 50% because I'm PMSing. I'm wound so tightly today that any little thing is going to send me over the edge. On the way to work today, I ran over a squirrel. The little thing ran out in the middle of the road and my back tire crushed it. I looked in my rear-view mirror and saw it lying in the road and I burst into tears. Small rodent death usually does not produce this effect. In fact, I didn't cry when I hit that dog a few years ago and I could have because that cost a few hundred in repairs to the bottom of my van. So I'm driving down the road with tears streaming down my face and I'm so tired.
Hopefully I can make it through the remainder of the day without breaking down for some stupid reason. I got a new trackball today and it's already getting on my nerves. My only glimmer of hope is that I have another doctor appointment today. If it doesn't go well, I'm going to be a mess.

i almost got run over a couple times biking to work last week when i was pms-ing.
rather than crying though i shouted obscenities at some thugged out dudes in a hoopti and felt a lot better.

Stay strong.

But I did make up for it -- in Texas, along a fast-moving 2-lane road, there was a large turtle just sitting in the middle of the two lanes. I pulled over and carried the turtle to the side -- about 20 feet off of the drag.
I hope the karma of the latter weighs more than the former.
Posted by: david at May 4, 2006 07:09 PMEeek. A turtle is way worse to run over than a squirrel.

And re: crying over the squirrel -- I would cry if I ran over a squirrel, no doubt. I once ran over a turtle - A TURTLE, fercryinoutloud - and started bawling.

Posted by: reb at May 4, 2006 03:42 PMI'm sorry things are not going well, Allison. Let me know if there is anything I can do. I'm tired and worn down, too, but I would be happy to help in some way if I can.
