Just one of those days

You know what I think is worse than having one of those days? Having one of those days despite your intent to not have one.
I woke up this morning ready for the day. I had already picked out my clothes and packed my workout clothes. Once dressed, I realized that my pre-picked out outfit didn't really match at all. So I had to go through two others to get it right.
I made it out the door with my lunch, vitamins, computer, workout gear, purse, tea and a bag of trash to put at the curb. I thought, "Man, I've got it together today!"
Despite getting up early and leaving early, I only got to work about 15 minutes earlier than usual - thanks back-to-work-after-a-three-day-weekend traffic (and by three-day-weekend, I mean for everyone else, not me).
Work is OK today, I've just been in a real dry spell for stories. But it's the personal crap that keeps f-ing up my day.
Bank account issues.
Marital drama.
Kid melodrama.
I'm still trying to dig up stories, do phone interviews and be all professional, but sometimes I struggle to keep my own life separate. I can certainly see why moms of multiple children have stayed home rather than worked throughout the ages. I love work. I love my work. But it's a juggling act.
Anyhoo, I wanted to spend a few minutes venting silently at my desk after a scrumptious baked potato with butter and sour cream. Oh! Did I mention that I gained a pound even though I worked out like a beast last night? Grrrrrrrrrrr.
I don't care. I'm still going to cycling class tonight. This day be damned!
One more thing. This day made me think of the old Monica song. I'm putting a portion of the lyrics here and intend to youtube it so I can listen and feel that the young Monica identifies with the not-so-young me.

It's just one of those days that a girl goes through
When I'm angry inside,
Don't wanna take it out on you.
Just one of them things.
Don't take it personal.
I just wanna be all alone
And I you think I treat you wrong.
Don't take it personal
Baby, baby, baby, baby, baby.
Don't take it personal.

I sit and think about everything we do,
And I find myself in misery and that ain't cool.
Hey now I really wanna be with you the whole way through.
But the way you make me feel inside leaves me confused.
As I swing back mood to mood it's not because of you.
I never want you to be insecure,
So won't you understand that I'm only in love, youre the only I need.
I be there for you when you need me boy so baby don't you leave.

It's just one of those days

Don't take it personal.
I just wanna be all alone
And I you think I treat you wrong.
