Yesterday, ended up feeling great all day.
Woke this morning, felt okay, and it was downhill from there. The kids drove me nuts, my wife was irritable from the get-go, and that wore on me as well.
I sent her off to a movie, with the agreement I got to go to a movie when she got home. I needed that fuckin' movie, but not even that could go right.
Got there, and it didn't start for 20 minutes past the posted start time. No explanation. Then the movie literally locked up and skipped to the credits right at the damn climax. This movie (Halloween) was something I had looked forward to for a LONG time. Totally ruined it for me. When they got it back, it had skipped ahead from where we left off. Pissed.
I was so pissed, I wasn't going to complain - b/c I can be an asshole when I'm that mad. I just wanted to leave. So on the way out of the theater, I see two ladies talking to a manager. I slow down and eavesdrop, and figure out they got refunds and a coupon to a future movie. Just when I'm about to go speak to him, they're done and the guy walks off at a fast clip. So then I get pissed at myself for not approaching and complaining and getting my money back. By then I was so flustered, I just left. Again - pissed.
Done with this day. It doesn't sound THAT bad, and objectively it's not. It's the shitty emotions and internal stress that has made it complete shit.
Hopefully tomorrow is clear again like yesterday.
