Ever had one of "those" days...

[C.Ann]

When something is bothering you - nagging at you - but you can't quite put your finger on what it is? Kind of like you're waiting for "the other shoe to drop" - yet there's really nothing going on in your life to make you feel that way?

I've been so restless today - and I don't know why.. Woke up at 7 a.m. - finished one book from last night and read another.. Was going to start a third one, but just couldn't concentrate on it.. Thought I would work on my muffin recipes - copied 3 - and lost all interest..

Did a little more of my Amish research - took two pages of notes - and lost interest in that as well..

Tried to answer a few letters I have sitting here, but couldn't concentrate on that either..

Tried to watch the soaps I taped this afternoon - lost interest and shut the t.v. off..

Did some "batch" cooking - and then didn't even bother to eat anything I made.. Stuck all of it in the freezer - my dinners for the next 7 days..

I never have a problem finding things to do - really getting involved in my many projects or reading - but today has been horrible..

Is there a full moon by any chance? I hope this odd feeling goes away by tomorrow or I'm going to be tearing my hair out!!

Good to know I'm not the only one that gets this every once in awhile.. The worst part for me is wasting time.. I hate to "waste time" when there are so many interesting things I could be doing..

Yes, today. I am going insane.

I'm definitely having one of those days. Would love to give it up and go to bed early, but I'm currently embroiled in a nonsensical argument that I can't seem to get out of. Grrr...hope tomorrow's a better day for all of us

I have them a lot. I call it being out of sorts. It's usually a combination of being bored and restless at the same time - where I want to do something/anything but can't settle down and concentrate on anything long enough to finish it.

Oh what a terrible way to spend your day. Maybe you subconsciously picked up on something or someone around you that isn't quite right. Think about who you were around, who you talked to, where you were. Did someone sound upset, was a conversation odd, did you hear something disturbing on the news? I'm sure if you put your mind to it you will uncover exactly what it is that is bothering you. I can't stand it when that happens to me but the 'something' always slides into place eventually if I let my mind wander. I hope tomorrow is better for you.

Thanks for the replies..

I'm much better now - have gotten quite a bit accomplished since my "off" day.. I never did figure out what caused it - guess it's just one of those little mysteries of life.. Nothing to get upset about - other than it drives me crazy when I find myself wasting time doing nothing..

Today was a really good day - and I'm looking forward to a nice, long string of them..

I have those days occasionally. Sometimes it's just a feeling of dread, like waiting for the other shoe to drop. Usually if I think about it long enough I realize it's either something I've seen on the news, or a dream I had the night before. Other times it's just thinking about too many things at once, where I can't concentrate, then I get more frustrated because I can't seem to get anything done.

Glad you're feeling better and able to enjoy your day.

I had one of those days yesterday. From the moment I woke up I knew it was going to be "off." Everyone at work kept commenting on how I didn't seem myself and I was really struggling to keep my eyes open. I had ample sleep (okay... about 6 hours) and a large coffee on my way in. Nothing could shake me out of that feeling I literally wandered around work all day (which was okay, I was a "floater" for the day) because I couldn't concentrate on any one thing. Luckily, 7 hours into my [10 hour] shift my boss offered to let me leave early Went home, napped for 2 hours, and then headed to the parks. A little pixie dust brought the smile back real quick

Today was much better for me- and sounds like you as well. Gotta love these days
