Which one are you?

Blip is not at all related to my day, except that this was a choice I had to make today. I have long been fascinated by loo signs and what I am supposed to identify with. My favourite is probably a close call between having no neck or the Victorian lady complete with parasol. This example in a pub in Richmond caught my eye today. And here they are, despite the terrible photographing conditions.

I was in Richmond for a meeting this afternoon that I spent a lot of the morning thinking about cancelling. Woke up after another night of bad sleep (just not sleeping well, nothing to do with kids) feeling very down. Sunk further into the abyss during the morning. Focused very hard on achieving some mindless tasks so as to avoid worsening the situation by getting to the end of the day feeling it had been wasted.

At the risk of boring / embarassing you with TMI, I had a similar episode about four weeks ago which is causing me to think there may be a hormonal link. Despite not liking the lack of control over my body this means there is something comforting in feeling like it's not just me being a bit rubbish. It's not something I've had before but I have had other related issues so I'll monitor the next couple of months and perhaps seek help.

Anyway, my meeting this afternoon was with a work associate who is also a friend so I decided to go and explain I might be a bit less effective. Was definitely the right move. Made some progress workwise and being out and about and engaged with another human being helped a lot. Now I just feel like I've been through the ringer but not so low and so drained I am confident of a good night's sleep.

Hope to return to blip cheeriness soon, though all part of the full human experience and all that.

Thanks for reading
