Ever got yourself keyed up for something and it’s turned out to be a massive anti-climax?

1. I was really psyched up for today. And I am glad that it turned out to be unnecessary. I’ve had better afternoons, but at least I can dust myself off and concentrate on what needs to be done now.
2. I’ve had a lot of support and I’m so grateful for it.
3. Listening to audiobooks on the walk to work.

1. Deliberately making sure I gave myself an easy day. I knew I had a couple of big days coming up so apart from a brief meeting, I kept my diary clear today and tomorrow morning I’ve been able to catch up on some things.
2. I made a few useful calls. When things have got on top of me recently, I’ve found it incredibly difficult to pick up the phone and just make a simple call. Ensuring I’ve got a bit of space and time makes all the difference.
3. Although it wasn’t my intention, I did feel some amusement at the alarm on my manager’s face when I said what I was going to do in tomorrow’s meeting if I didn’t get the support and backing I deserve. He is completely unflappable and I saw him almost flap! I probably did word things a bit stronger than I meant to, so I can understand why he might be concerned. I don’t want to get complacent about things tomorrow because I’ve still got to keep my cool and get through it unscathed. I’m cautiously optimistic.

Was a bit too focused on things I needed to say this morning. Having said that, the circumstances demanded I spoke much more than I listened this time.
