That is pretty much how I felt yesterday, wound up to such an extent that during the early evening I slightly let rip. My hubby works really hard and I would never pretend otherwise. He works pretty long hours and has a journey of an hour each way (on a good day). But he doesn’t work on Sunday and lying on the sofa from breakfast till dinner will not help you feel refreshed in my opinion and it certainly doesn’t get much done around the house. He is good at agreeing with me that he can and should help out more, but he is short on ideas about how to get himself motivated to do it.

I technically work less hours than him, I do however travel for an hour each way, and I am studying for a Post Graduate degree. I have a demanding job and find it tiring and stressful. I am also a woman and have to admit that part of my problem yesterday, in that I became wound up and then let rip was to do with PMS. It is an amazingly weird feeling and something that I am sure has got worse over the years. It begins with a headache, and a feeling of just being wound up like a spring, and one that gets ever tighter. There is no need for chocolate involved for me, though I do often feel hungry. Being told that your issues are down to PMS of course is likely to make you get all the more angry even if you know it to be true.

Thankfully I feel better today, which is just as well because work has been just a teeny bit stressful. In a year when we are told that services need to be significantly redesigned, with people doing different things in different way, it appears there might be no money for training. Tell me how staff can learn new things with no investment being made in them? Tell me why also we have to be left to just wonder if there is any money for 6 months of the financial year, and tell me why some people don’t understand the words: There is no money so please do not ask for any. It is enough to make you scream, or eat cream cakes and as someone bought me one it would have been rude not to!
