Did you ever have one of those days?
I don’t mean a day where everything goes wrong. Just one of those days where nothing seems to quite get moving along in the right direction. A day where you feel like you are simply drifting and don’t have the power to get yourself back on course.
Yesterday was a day like that for me.
It started when the phone rang at oh-dark-thirty. It was my boss. A ship that we expected to arrive later in the day had arrived at the dock and we needed to have someone out there right away. Could I get out there?
It wasn’t really a request.
So I got up, put on some coffee, splashed some water on my face, got dressed and headed out the door. Gorgeous helped me out by getting up and putting together something for my lunch. (Did I marry up, or what?!)
By the time I finished with the ship it was just about time for the normal work day to start so I just went over to the office.
The phone call wasn’t that much earlier than I usually get up.
Yet somehow busting up my normal morning routine seemed to throw me off for the entire day. I never really found my rhythm.
Work was busy. I got things done. But I never felt I was being as productive as I wanted to be.
It was not like I was overly stressed or in danger like the guy in the picture here. (I really hope it is a Photshop job!)
I just had a discombobulated day yesterday. I’m glad today is starting out better.
Do any of you ever struggle with days like that? If so, how do you get yourself back on track?
