AGITATION - September 19
         This morning I was agitated.  A couple of things got under my skin; and I over-reacted.

         It happened as soon as I arrived at the office at about 8:45 a.m. 

         I did a google search on "causes of agitation," and was surprised to find the following:

         *  Medical conditions that can cause agitation include: anxiety or mood disorders, such as depression or bipolar disorder. conditions that cause hormonal imbalances, such as hypothyroidism.  [See https://www.healthline.com/symptom/agitation.]

         Symptoms of agitated depression include:

         *  extreme irritability, like snapping at friends and family, or being annoyed at small things
         *  anger
         *  agitation
         *  fidgeting
         *  racing thoughts and incessant talking
         *  restlessness
         *  pacing
         *  hand-wringing
         *  nail-biting
         *  outbursts of complaining or shouting
         *  pulling at clothes or hair
         *  picking at skin

         Maybe the first three symptoms, but "extreme" sounds a little strong.  The other listed items don't apply at all.

         In the past, I have had issues with anxiety and depression but not for awhile now.  Except, last weekend I slipped and fell while trying to take a shower in a tub at a "nice" hotel---with an "old" slippery bathtub; it has effected me.

         Also, now that I think about it.  Someone in the office put one of those Glade (scented oil) plug-ins in an outlet.  It puts off a weird and offensive smell that has been permeating the entire office.  It hits me every time I walk in the door.  Yesterday I asked if I could remove it and was told I could, which I did immediately.  However, the office still smells.  I've had a slight headache too... from that smell. [I don't normally get headaches.]

         Issue resolved... I think (hope).
