Today Was a Terrible, Horrible, No Good, Very Bad Day

Yes, I know. Today I had planned to blog on what I want to accomplish in 2009.

But I have had what my kids used to call a “Terrible, Horrible, No Good, Very Bad Day.”

There seemed to be no rhyme or reason for it. Although I got to the gym late, I had a good workout. I’ve kept to my dietary plan today. Knocked off all of my daily habits before noon.

I just felt … what my grandmother always called “crivilly.” Out of sorts, Grouchy.

Cursed out other drivers (in the privacy of my car) for failing to use their turn signals.

Cursed out myself for a failure to communicate with one of my dearest.

Contemplated going back to bed with the cat for the rest of the day or turning on Turner Classics.

When I decided to get something done, I didn’t feel any better.

The fact that the easiest WordPress tasks seemed to absolutely confound me didn’t help matters.

Neither did the fact that I was unable to find my ftp upload information to perform the long-wanted theme change to my blogs (and the wet behind the ears customer service sweetie from my hosting company was not able to help in any way, shape or form).

And then – hallelujah – I located the missing information and actually managed to change the themes on both my blogs!

So, no, I have not become an overnight Internet success story today.

But that small accomplishment (and sticking to my daily habits) has made my day so much better.

(Tomorrow I’ll blog about my plans for 2009).
