I'm not myself today

Somehow I can't quite get it together. I'm mumbling and bumbling and I'm afraid I'm not making a lot of sense to my callers. I usually try and watch shows or listen to music in between calls on a day like today--it helps calm me down. Today, I have big band music playing on my headphones. I cannot find the source of it and have closed all of my applications down and still it just keeps playing over and over and I just don't have the energy to figure it out. When I went out to lunch after an awful and akward team meeting I almost hit a guy's truck. I swear I didn't see him coming. What is wrong with me today? It is quite possible that these are the symptoms of PMS. Or maybe I'm getting old and crochety.
I don't sound as bad as Ouiser, do I?
What makes me feel better? My lunch break. I got away from work (I almost killed myself and someone else in the process, but I didn't and that's what matters), parked under a tree and washed a roast beef sandwich, ruffles and a sugar cookie down with a Diet Dr Pepper. But the most important ingredient? That's right. Thank God for mindless, comforting reading. It brings me back to my happy place. Nothing like a book you can finish in an hour and a half and have already read 8-10 times--one from which you can remember random details like one of Claudia's infamous outfits but can't remember the resolution of the story.
And it is bound to get better, right? I have to remember what my girl Scarlett said.

After all, tomorrow is another day!
