This was an upsetting day. It's not that bad things happened but I was very busy as I'm doing two jobs and trying to decorate for Halloween at work and had an appointment to get a cap put on my tooth, and nothing quite worked out.

I enjoy change and I enjoy chaos but this was just one of those days where nothing really gets done because I have the day planned and it gets totally changed. It wasn't like there were disasters and devastation, but I couldn't get anything done I felt like I accomplished just bits and pieces.

I started decorating and ended up with something totally different, which I like, but I felt at a loss as to how I came up with it. I then tried to copy it into the empty cubicle and it just didn't flow. My dentist called in sick so I was rescheduled to tomorrow. It's already been a month with the temporary cap and it's falling apart and starting to ache.

There seemed to be constant interruptions and phone calls and lost trains of thought. There are always interruptions and phone calls, but today it seemed like I couldn't continue on with what I was doing but had to start over. I had no concentration and kept losing my place.

I've ended up with a rather abstract jungle. I've the colors and flowers and animals but they are out of perspective and more like a suggestion of a jungle. I really like the colors but everyone seemed a bit puzzled by it. That's ok. I've got a few ideas of what else to do but with the dentist in the morning, I won't have much time tomorrow.

I was very irritated by television tonight. It seems to be deteriorating at a rapid rate this season. The new shows don't even catch my interest as they seem all alike anymore. If it weren't for the fact that I need cable for CNN, The Weather Channel, and the Animal planet, I would consider dropping it. That would mean listening to the local news since the picture without cable is so bad that you can't really see a picture.

It bothers me, though, when there is nothing on that I want to watch and yet I keep watching and flipping channels and not enjoying it at all. Why don't I just turn it off and read or do something else that would be a little more productive? It's like I zombie out and can't get interested enough in turning it off. Even going to sleep would be better.
