triumph

i like to stagger my disappointments. you know, so they don't all hit me all at once. as a result, i'm feeling optimistic about my plan. my pms is done now so i expect my optimism to last a little while. instead i just have wicked cramps. seriously, at work today i was in so much pain that i felt like i was dying. i'm extremely over-dramatic, but i think it suits me.

someone at work made a comment that i can sometimes be abrupt. this surprised me because i really do put an effort into curbing my annoyance when someone interrupts me when i'm in the middle of doing something. isn't it interesting how the way we perceive ourselves is different to how others perceive us. however, now that this has been brought to my attention i'll make more of an effort. i'm also trying to improve my posture. i've never had great posture, but i improved it twofold near the end of college. but it's still not great. i'm finding my back is hurting when i slouch, so i need to stand up straighter. this is different to when i "slouch" on a couch. couch-slouching. that has got to stay. it's too signature lesley to part with.

i ease us back into traffic.
