I really do think PMS is a real concrete condition that should be treated as a physical illness and/or disorder. During certain times of the month, I feel like everyone else in the world is useless and that people are dumb. In other words, I feel like the biggest bitch in the world. And not in a good way.
Today is a prime example. I got a call from Karen, my travel agent, who had a couple of news for me. One was that Gap Adventures, since they split from Intrepid, decided to change the itinerary of my Beyond Russia tour. By eliminating St. Petersburg completely. Why on earth would you do that? Now I get to spend more days in Moscow, which could be a good thing, but I also now have to find accommodation in St. Petersburg since I still want to visit it. That means an extra expense. The other piece is that the Egypt tour I signed up for may be cancelled since there is not enough interest in it. They want to move me into the tour that starts 4 days earlier. Well, this means I have to either cut short my Australian or New Zealand trip shorter or I leave Singapore earlier. Plus I would have to find accommodation for the extra days between Egypt and Greece. Another extra expense. Both pieces of news served to annoy me more than it should but really, this is really annoying because I had already booked them and thought that part of my trip is settled and I can think about other stuff. Now I have to figure what to do here AND find accommodation. I asked Karen to find out if they will compensate me for these changes since I have already paid in full so they have my money. The drama saga continues…
On the other hand, I channeled my frustration and started doing a task that I should have done months ago…clearing and tossing out my stuff (junk). I did good tonight, worked my way through 5 boxes. Tomorrow, I am moving onto the stuff that is on shelves and in cabinets.
Sure hope I don’t feel as bitchy tomorrow…
