| My life's ups and downs... |
| First, this morning I came into the office. When I went to make coffee and opened the refrigerator to get the filtered water, a strong offensive odor came out like an overwhelming cloud. I looked around and found someone left food in there over the weekend. Now, when you open the door---to get half-n-half for coffee or water---a horrible smell comes whooshing out into the office and up your nose. Second, I went to write some checks and someone removed from the cabinet (and did not replace) the Operating Account checkbook. Third, we still do not have an address for upcoming depositions, which are now only 8 days out. Because we do not have an address and subpoenas have not been served, likely the depositions will not go forward. Ugh!!! |
| 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). |
