Last week my van broke while I was delivering Sunday's paper. Not a good thing to happen, but what followed was even worse (See JennC I used the right one). Someone from another center came to help me and he added to my frustration by driving extremely slow and talking negative the whole time.

That stressed me more and I think I went over my breaking point. All week long I've been in a sour mood. It took me a while to figure out why. Usually something happens and I can point to my depression, but all in all life is going awesomely, so I was confused why I was so sour. It took me a while to figure that once I get stressed, it takes me a long time to gain equilibrium and that's no good. Sure, I had a bad day at work, but I shouldn't have let it ruin an entire week. I really need to learn to let go of things or I will be destroyed.

I just don't know how. To be honest, I didn't even realize it was an issue (that's what happens when you're miserable all the time). I have to find some relaxation techniques or something to get my mind right. I like being happy, so I should be happy more often. I hate being miserable, so I should be miserable less often. It sounds simple.

Btw. The van is fixed. Things are going good. I need more dresses. My birthday is the 22nd (I need a makeup mirror, a waffle maker, an extra computer and some clothes if anyone sends me gifts. (I'll probably end up with 50 makeup mirrors)) and we're going to actually have a party and, damn it, I will have ice cream cake anyone around tampa is invited.
