I should have thought of it earlier...
Truly, it was a basic brainwave that most of the time occurs to me before I let my 'I feel crap, why won't someone make it go away' thoughts and feelings loose.
FOOOD!
I had lunch at work. Scrambled egg on toast. 'That's good isn't it?' I hear you think. Well, yes, it should be. The operative words are AT WORK.
I should rephrase my lunch to read as scrambled on paper or something similar.
The money allocated to food at work is measley when you think we're meant to keep these kids fit and healthy and even the fact staff pay some of their food costs doesn't make up for that. So we have square plastic bread. It's not the cook's fault, it''s the budget's. We buy 'real' crusty bread as a treat occasionally and it always goes down brilliantly.
Anyhow, call it what you want, but the chemical kind of toaster bread that costs more than dirt cheap but not enough more, is just not good enough to provide me with energy. I came to that conclusion nearly a year ago and have tried and I think proved my theory since. I reckon my lunch lasted me until about 1330 or so. I began feeling poo awhile after our happenings at work so should have known it wasn't really linked to teenage hoohas!
So the satisfied Minnx who returned from the music shop with a new D string (instead of the A the man sold me yesterday) via the postbox to drop off a verrrrry important letter thought to herself: 'I wouldn't mind a hug, but what I really need is food.'
I walked in and put the kettle on for a cuppa and some noodles, shoved the leftovers of yesterday's veg in sauce into the nuke machine and filled the following 3-4 minutes by having a tiny 1/4 bowl of porridge with sugar (nrg boost).
Tummy now full! Feeling lots more positive about things. Still not fixed the ache in the side of my head. But remember now that I did my best at work and that all settled down to decent level of normality by the time I left. The blinkers have gone.
Now that was all quite daft wasn't it!
Cheers God for that moment of lucidity! Seems there was a better reason than I thought that I had to take a walk to swap that string. You are cheeky... You're a star and I'm glad you don't ignore me for moaning!! :D
Oh and Dearest Starberri!! Thank you too!! Lots!! :D
