When It Rains, It Pours

It's one of those days.

I have a migraine that keeps coming back, and a crying baby that I can't seem to soothe. They finally fell asleep after much coaxing. Fighting sleep. If it were an olympic sport, I'd have a gold medalist on my hands.

The weather is wet and miserable. I feel miserable. I feel like crap.

I just want to be back, surrounded by stainless steel, soaked in sweat, running faster than I can catch my breath and with my knife back in hand. With every day that passes it seems less and less likely. Taking a year off is just too much. I am not the domesticated, house-wifey type. You can only clean your house so many times before somebody walks in and asks if somebody actually lives there.

Frustrated. Good god.

If you asked me a year ago where I would be in life, this would not be it. I'd have been off cooking in some foreign kitchen, not stuck at home rotting away. Not begging for a job thanks to crappy availability.

My job was my life. My co-workers were family. This feels like some shitty divorce.

So much for building myself.

Ciao
