Wednesday, Whiney post, please ignore

     My puppy has the runs.  Not the kind where he takes off either. This has been so fun.  I changed his food and this is the result. He was not eating at all when we brought him back from vacation so I bought a different food. Now we will try mixing the foods. I was up with painful arthritis and the puppy several times last night.  I think I am stressed about the amount of work that came into the shop yesterday.

     It was crazy.  I could hardly get my work done and I got about 1/2 done what I wanted to.  Yesterday was all hand work which is tedious.  I did not get to the pile of things for my other client. It looks like a bomb went off in the shop.

     So too much work, little sleep, pain and a poopy puppy.  No wonder I am cranky.  Then I get  notice that the Marine ball is Nov. 11th and you all know how these guys wait until the last minute and how I love me a Marine dress blue to tailor.

     I am just a ray of sunshine today.

     Plus does everyone in Idaho have one or two broken zippers for me to fix?  I think there are 20 in the shop right now. Okay I exaggerate there are only 25....

     Let me see good news...... Hmmmm...... I only have about 5 pieces of ironing left in my basket.

     I finished my first plastic bag rug and started an oval one last night.  Right now I have it under weights to flatten and I will take a picture to show you tomorrow.

     I am going to drag my tired grouchy butt into the shop and see if I can make a dent in the work.  I also have to teach today, which I love but I hate being interrupted when I am on a roll sewing.

     An attitude adjustment is in order here.  Does someone want to come adjust my attitude? 

    I need to by salad fixings, and fresh veggies after I teach tonight.

What do you guys do when you are feeling overwhelmed?

Have a great and productive day staying positive while you are in the negative.

  1. I was just overwhelmed by falling due to vertigo. I am so overwhelmed I lay down. But, I don't have sewing to do! Give the dog some Pepto Bismol.

  2. I've always had to be careful changing dog food, too. I just start out with a little of the new mixed in and gradually switch over 10-14 days.

  3. I understand grouchy. It must be going around because I am a grump today and am about ready to unleash the flying monkeys.
    Chocolate was my drug of choice before this keto thing. Since I can't have it now I guess I am just going to have to do something like___ exercise? That sounds worse than staying grouchy!

  4. Oh, aren't runs fun? Try a full grown husky mix with them--it's like cleaning up after a big clumsy furry elephant.

    1. boy I can as I had a husky LOL. I now have 3 large mix breads but the boxer definitely doesn't get a change in food or people food... He "explodes" when that happens

  5. I have a Mastiff with a very delicate intestinal system. Thank God I have hardwood floors. In his latest episode, I refused to allow the dog to be in a room alone.
    When I am feeling overwhelmed, I refuse to answer the phone, and just concentrate on doing the next necessary thing. At the end of the day, I make a point to note just where the stress came, and decide if I want to do that again, or if it's something I can let go. I guard my time fiercely.

  6. Sorry about puppy having the runs. WOnder if the weather has anything to do with being grumpy. It seems to be going around. Tomorrow is coming and we can try again to be cheery. You accomplish much. Hope tomorrow is a smoother day. I need a smoother day.
    Blessings,

  7. I hope today is a much better day for you. When I get overwhelmed, I just take one thing at a time and concentrate on that item. Then the next and th next,etc. I try not to think about anything except the one thing that I am doing.

    1. I think I am allowing myself to become overwhelmed because I really don't feel very good right now. Should have recognized the signs.

  8. I hope today is a much better day for you. It is so easy to get overwhelmed when we have a lot to do. I also hope the puppy is feeling better today. Thank you for coming to visit my blog. It’s always nice to meet someone new. Blessings, Betsy
