Anxiety -me?!
My day started well, up early walking dog before it got hot, and then I booked a slot at the tip. I have 3 huge bags of garden waste from when the gardener I put some trees in the week.
Then I got a call from Megan, then James, everything stressful in that household. I rang Mollie, then James and Megan again to let them know what I thought should be done. By this time I was nearing the tip time. I put the two smaller ones in the car and it was clear the huge one would not fit, so I began putting some of it into a smaller bag, so that at least some of it went. Then I realised I had taken the car key with me. So, where was it. I won’t bore you with the stress, but I took all those tree branches out the bags again, and it was nowhere to be seen. I only have one key. One of those jobs that never got done, ordering a spare. By now It was clear I was going to miss the slot, so I quickly rescheduled. I searched the house, but I remembered taking it out with me. I went through the bags again, leaving an horrendous mess on the ground.
I swear I was hyperventilating. I needed to go shopping, to go water Moira’s plants, I need to be able to go to work on Monday. So, I phoned an emergency key company who come out. I was very stressed. I couldn’t even remember my postcode on the phone! I knew it was here somewhere, but what else to do? I have never suffered with anxiety before, but I think that might have been it. I messaged Daniel, who is the only one who can calm me and not laugh at me. The mobile key man would be an hour, so I made a cup of tea and sat down. As I leaned against the arm of the chair, I felt something, and realisation dawned. Not having any pockets in my dress, I had put the key in my bra for safekeeping. Now I realise any readers are going to be laughing now, but let me tell you it ruined my day. £120 for the call out and spare key, and I’ve been jumpy and unsettled all day. I did manage to get to the tip, but that garden waste had been sitting in the sun inside the car for several hours, and now I can’t get rid of the smell!
I am so hoping for a better day tomorrow.
