More Stress Than I Realised

-

I thought I was fine. I thought I wasn't so stressed that it was delaying a certain thing that hasn't happened yet that should have by now. Until I remembered something that causes me a lot of frustration:

Bus delays.

Whenever the bus is late or gets stuck in traffic, I just get so stressed about it that I have to verbally complain to let it out, I really need to vent! Every time someone wants to get on or off the bus, I get really annoyed because stopping to do that uses up even more time, and it's even worse when there's so many people on the bus and I have to hide at the back and hope no one comes near me because I REALLY don't like sitting next to strangers, especially if one comes and traps me by sitting next to me and then I have to get off before them which means they have to let me out when I'd rather not have to interact with them AT ALL!!!

The thing is, while I can lessen that on my way to work training by leaving early (although that doesn't always work and sometimes the bus is still delayed), I can't do much when I'm going home, and that's when the worst delays are. The specific bus I get is one where they're usually every 5 or 10 minutes, but there's a specific time of the day around when I leave where there aren't any for 20 minutes (by design, it's in the timetable), which at least gives me more time to walk to the bus stop, but then that bus ends up being delayed for over 10 minutes, which is just ridiculous to me. They really need to change those bus times, I don't know why there's such a long break there, especially since there's children who need to go home from school.

I really need to find a way to handle this, because I've reached my breaking point, and it's making me spread my bitterness around to other people.

Uncertainty

-
People are panicking right now over these supposed reports about the producers at Strictly Come Dancing actually being ruthless for the first time in years and dropping certain professional dancers. I wasn't too worried about my fave at first, but now it seems uncertain as to whether he will survive the cull or not. On the one hand, the pro lineup had gotten too big because many of them didn't want to leave on their own accord, and it's good if they're trying to reduce the number of pros on the bench (which would probably go back to 0 is not for having to take same sex partnerships into account). But on the other, quite a few of the ones who have supposedly been axed or given a lesser role are those who people thought haven't had much of a chance to shine, and because of that they haven't connected well with viewers, which is more likely to get them dropped. Anyway, I hope this all gets cleared up soon, and it turns out my fave is safe. I started watching the la...

Nothing Interesting On

Something my Dad is bothered about is how there aren't many interesting TV shows on most evenings at the moment, or new episodes of shows released on streaming services. Monday has the Quiz shows, but one of the three they usually have on has finished, while the other two are close to finishing, and then we'll have to go a few months without those before they start up again. And then there's not much on the other days either. I've not got many shows to be invested in at the moment, and I have other ways I can entertain myself, so it never really bothered me when there was nothing interesting on. I don't know what my Dad could do to be less bored in the evenings.

A Small Wet Adventure

Not that kind of wet!!! Can't I use certain words without them being interpreted in an inappropriate way?  Anyway, today I went out to a park because I wanted to go somewhere with some uphill areas that wasn't the local woods, and it was raining a lot. I thought I'd be fine because my coat has a hood, but it clearly wasn't enough and the coat that was supposed to be waterproof got soaked. So I wanted to go along a different path, one of those shortcut paths, so that I'd be slightly more sheltered from the rain. I say slightly because at this time of year the trees have no leaves on them so they don't shelter you as much from the rain as they do in summer. So I spent ages walking around the trees while trying not to slip, and ended up finding myself at some dead ends. I didn't want to go all the way back the way I came, though, so I kept looking for other paths that could help me get back onto the main path, while I wasn't getting any dryer. At least I go...
