Saturday Meltdown

I love patterns. I get up at the same time every day, make myself the same thing for breakfast, and pack largely the same snacks for the day. I am okay with this. It makes me feel like I am in control. 

The only thing is that weekends are much more unpredictable. Today for instance I had to do a fasting blood draw. The lab opened at 7 and due to some maddening hold ups leaving the house I did not get there until 7:05.

Now you might be thinking, "Not Bad." If you are I can tell you have never been to the lab just after it opens. In those five minutes your wait time can increase by an hour (mine did, #17 on the list). This, added to a ten tube blood draw really put me on edge. 

I went home storming mad/crazy but was able to reign it in after a while (there is definitely something off with me hormonoly but some if these test are trying to pin the problem down). 

What I wanted to do was spend the day relaxing and getting ready for Sunday. Unfortunately, I allowed myself to be pulled back out for a nonessential event that has made me miss two meals (I eat ever two hours) and will get me home late. 

I say I allowed, because I said no initially but eventually caved. The thing is I know what's best for me. I needed a light day with lots of sleep. I have to stop bending to the will of others and listen to myself. 

You know what bothers me the most...how whiny and b****y I sound/feel. This is not ME!

[Update: Left the event half way through and took a nap in the car.]
