Out of Sorts

I felt 'out of sorts' from the second that I opened my eyes this morning.

I didn't want to feel that way, so I tried a few different things to snap myself out of it.

I did some deep breathing exercises.

I guzzled some cool water.

I listened to some uplifting music.

I had a shower.

I consumed my morning hot lemon and chicken broth.

I cuddled my psychotic dogs.

I decided to wear bright colours to work.

I thought of all the things for which I feel grateful.

I remembered that it was coffee morning with the girls.

I couldn't snap out of it.

When I got to the shop to buy my morning coffee, somebody asked me how I was and I screwed up my nose and told them "I'm feeling very 'out of sorts' today and I don't know why!" She replied "Well, we all have days like that sometimes. Don't worry too much about it."

That actually helped.

I've been feeling so happy and vibrant lately, I guess I was due for a less than vibrant day. So I stopped worrying about it and just accepted it.

Morning tea with the girls was great and helped lift me somewhat.

A customer picked up and paid for her photos that she had paid a deposit on last week.

A large order of stock arrived (and we all know how much I love it when new stock arrives!), so I spent the afternoon checking the invoice, pricing and figuring out where to display it.

I had to tidy up all of the packaging and prepare for meditation in the morning + it's bin night, so I emptied all of the bins in the shop and filled our sulo to the brim before wheeling it out to the footpath.

I visited the butcher to buy meat for dinner, but got a bit carried away and bought meat for the next four days!

It was about 4pm when I arrived home and I was STILL feeling somewhat out of sorts.

I made dinner of leftovers for Adoring Husband, served with a salad.

It's now 7.30pm and I'm seriously considering a very early night to bed.

I hope that my mood has improved by morning and that tomorrow I'm not feeling so out of sorts.

Nite all.
