Feeling Down

It's it funny that when one is already feeling down how it seems to attract more negativity to you?

I have been feeling low this last few days, (not like me), and today I seem to have been hit from all sides.

I woke up with a splitting headache. The dog woke up with a runny bum. And a stupid old man had a go at me, this morning.

As I say, Bayley isn't feeling quite the ticket so on taking him out this morning he did his normal morning poo and a few minutes later did another one. After picking both lots up I made my way back to the flat looking forward to getting some pills down me with my first cup of tea of the morning and a ciggie.

Just as we entered the communal gardens, Bayley decided to have yet another poo on the grass. I picked that up and walked a few more steps. Bugger me if Bayley didn't squat again. As I was picking that up I heard an old bugger from downstairs shouting behind his window at me "You're supposed to make him do that on the beach". ????

I totally ignored the silly old sod. I gave no sign of having heard him, but carried on walking the few more steps to get to the front door. Next I heard him shout "YOU HEARD ME". By then I had my key in the door anyway.

Never, ever, do I let Bayley do his business on the grounds. I always carry him out and don't put him down until we are in the road. He is always allowed to walk back in though when he is empty. Everyone in the block knows this.

The injustice of being bellowed at like that really upset me. Stupid I know, and if I wasn't feeling like shite myself I would probably have laughed it off. But on top of feeling low anyway, having a splitting headache, I ridiculously let it put me in a mild depression today.
