i gave myself the day off today...

sooo after a very very slow start to my day, it slowly improved, and honestly (bar the asthma attack i am currently having) it has ended fabulously....

so you saw yesterday's post, well i think (and i'm being really honest here) that a large part of my malaise today was really to do with my mental state and really the feeling of being ignored by one german....you know the one i have (in my head at least) said auf wiedersehen to....so imagine my surprise when he tells me today that 'i do not ignore you, i have other priorities' or something like that - sure, we speak a different language, but that is just rude in anybody's language...

so i woke up having had a night of tossing and turning (no thanks to the bloody birds outside my window - is it legal to shoot birds? i'm kidding obviously coz i know it's not, and even if it was, i don't have a weapon...other than my sometimes ascerbic wit!), and woke up with a cracker headache and feeling a bit sick...so the thought of a long drive didn't work for me and so instead i gave myself the day off! a mental health day, and it was a good idea actually as i would have had to work exceptionally hard to pull off my 'old new sarah' today and i figure in front of newish clients, this is not what i want them to experience...

sooo a few cups of tea and some breakfast whilst watching ncis, then a nice long walk in the sun, then some 'decluttering' in the study (it really resembles a bombsite right now, how i see fit to call it a study is frankly, a joke!) and then a session with my supervisor....it was good, she's a great lady and she really gets me - i felt a bit bad as no sooner was i through the door than i just 'dumped'...she handled it well (as usual) and I felt way better when i left...

also, a client i did some work with not so long ago wrote me a testimonial which arrived today - simply amazing - i felt really chuffed to get it as he works in the art world so imagine just how eloquently it is written :-)

sooooo as the day is almost at an end, for me anyway, and i find myself almost about to crawl into my lovely bed, i am much happier than i was this morning and am very very pleased that i saw fit to take the day off...forget the doctor, it was just what i ordered :-)

nite
