What's on your mind?

Disclaimer: Vent post below.

Some folks need to learn to diffuse a bit better... perhaps more exercise at home... myself included.

I went out at 5:30am for mail, assuming no one else would be out at that hour. While walking on the narrow sidewalk, adjacent to the highway, a woman came walking towards me with a huge dog. There's barely 3' width of sidewalk, but 25' width of grass on her side, so I assumed she'd move into the grass as her dog was obviously sniffing for a place to 'go'... if not, I'd have to step into the street (highway, actually) with a fair amount of traffic on a foggy, still dark morning. No, I'm not risking stepping into traffic, when she could simply take 2 steps to her right, into a huge grassy area, where she & most dog walkers, eventually move into anyway.

As she got about 10' from me, I asked if she could move into the grass, cuz she's the one with the dog, all 3 of us can't pass on the sidewalk cuz it's too narrow & I didn't want to step into traffic or cross passed her to step into the grass with dog droppings... she's got the dog, if anyone's going to step in dog pee, it should be her, imo. She misunderstood & said, "No, you're okay" thinking I was asking her if she wanted me to move into the grass... honestly, I was more irritated that she thought I was asking her permission. So, I said, "No, YOU'RE not okay. Move over & walk your dog in the grass." Admittedly... I probably shouldn't have said it with hostility.

She instead pulled her dog out of the grass & onto the sidewalk to take up the entire sidewalk, so I had to step onto the road & then said in disgust, "Stupid". I was then barraged with the B-word, C-word & non-stop yelling for a full 2-min. I was 20' passed her & she was still swearing at me. Lol.

Her cursing storm actually made me laugh. I was in the wrong, cuz earlier I could have walked across her & her dog's path into the grass, when it was obvious she wasn't going to make room, but I'm stubbornly cranky... & stunned when she virtually forced me off the sidewalk & into the street.

I need to stay indoors or go for mail at 4am next week.

But, I also don't regret calling her stupid, even though I got barraged with gnarly words.

My internet is zipping along so fast I can barely keep up, that’s new.
I’m sure it’s temporary, 😂

And so it begins...

Why can't I get my eating under control? Even without buying junk from the store, I still can't seem to get away from sugary things, carbohydrates in large quantities and *kitten* I really don't need.

If I want it, I just make it myself.. but I just get fatter. Ugh!

The amount of weight training I’ve been doing out of boredom these days you’d think I’d look like Hercules by now, but na.

With the amount of running just to be outside youd think I'd be a beanpole 😒 damn you plateau

I woke up feeling so emotionally and physically drained. I can’t wrap my head around what’s going on and how people are reacting to it. Everyday I see my employees fear of us slimming down even though we’re assuring them their job is safe. I hate what we have become as a society. Sorry I had to vent.

Venting allowed. We all have strong vs vulnerable days.

I'm sorry for your challenges. It sounds like your employees are only venting. I'm sure they mostly feel lucky to have you.

Remember that time when you went into your clients closet and it was creepy and dark and suddenly you hear a loud "psssst" and you're blinded by something and your arms start swinging cuz you think you're being attacked but suddenly it smells so beautiful and you realize it was an electronic air freshener 😆

Lol. Unless you're a closet organizing professional... I'd love the hear the stories that begin with you finding yourself inside a client's dark, creepy closet.

I care for people that suffer with Dementia/Alzheimers. I was in there trying to locate old photo albums to do some memory care activities with them.

Not the answer you were expecting, right? 😂
