An "Off" Day

This morning I found myself noticing a whole pile of thoughts and feelings about what I "should" have done, where I "should" have been and even who I "should" have been yesterday (Thursday).

On Wednesday I had almost started the Thursday story, which I'd said I would do this week and was looking forward to. Then realised I had the days mixed up and I must wait till the next morning.

I'm spending almost no time on line just now, having completely immersed myself in and got lost in Skool and all the groups for the previous month. And have switched off my notifications since I was getting overwhelmed by so many messages from so many groups I'd joined my head was spinning. However, I did notice Jacqueline's post about celebrating Louise and I was looking forward to joining in with that.

I also have 2 regular meetings that I enjoy on a Thursday evening and because I never know what day it is these days I have reminders come up at least 3 times during the day to make sure I get to the meetings I want to go to.

Then somehow life happened as it does.

I enjoyed the day and it came to a beautiful evening - a very comfortable evening after 2 days of 34C in the shade and over 40C in the sun!

Half an hour before my first regular Thursday evening meeting I heard the alarm on my phone and did last minute preparations so that Harry would be comfortable and not disturb me. Then sometime in that half hour Harry knocked over the water I had put out for him and everything was chaos while I mopped up and made sure nothing was damaged. The time and the meeting went totally out of my head until 10 minutes before it was due to end. At which point I realised I had also missed celebrating Louise and my other regular meeting! How and why did that happen? I have no idea, but that didn't stop the "not good enough / should have done better / letting people down" thoughts starting to pour in.

Maybe that's why it happened, for the lesson? I'm still watching those thoughts and feelings bubbling up even now!

However, whatever it was about, I'm sorry I missed everything yesterday and hope you all had a great time!!!
