Trying to shake off low mood. I hate it. I want to be jolly energetic me. I upset someone on here and I didn't mean to. Made an error in my teaching and now I am sat in a supermarket carpark not wanting to go home. I spend my life living in fear of upsetting people then just fo it anyway. Sorry if I am annoying, I am outspoken when things matter to me like inequality or racism or greed but I'd never want to hurt anyone's feelings.

Feel free to reply to any comment by clicking the "Reply" button.0hhhh... my heart goes out to you. My favorite line from Bridget Jones movie 'I like you just as you are' 
. I am familiar with your posts and I can't remember ever being offended by any of them....of course my memory is shot.......
I am also trying to shake off a low mood, so I bought some chocolate coated coconut ice cream to brighten my world. If distance wasn't a problem, I would come visit and share them with you. Hang in there. This too will pass.

Thank you xx I think I need to make a cake 
@Amisja Cake is good. Cake is always good.
@Byrdsfan It is delicious. I try to stay away from dairy and this is a coconut milk/dairy free ice cream covered in rich dark chocolate......my mouth is watering just thinking of it.
Spumoni is that the Italian ice cream?
@Byrdsfan I remember experiencing it as a young adult...many, many years ago. It is like a frozen custard, right?
@Byrdsfan ohh.....well.... it still sounds amazing. Love neapolitan ice cream.

Well I might never teach them again. They got all the content they need
Ouch! Sounds like you are being way too hard on yourself. Being nice is a compromise on being honest, but you can't keep everyone happy, so better to be honest and say "Yes, that was me. My bad."
And those of us who know you, know that you are NOT a vindictive or hurtful person, just someone with strong opinions and a refreshing attitude. Better a day as a lion than a life as a sheep.
Made an error in your lessons ? You are intelligent enough to realize that you did.
I just learned that my son, whom I adore and thought was smart, Made the most awful blunder, totally knob head behavior this week.....and I thought he was better than that. And I feel so guilty because I think I could have prevented it. I couldn't, but I want to think I could have.
Why don't you want to go home? Go and cocoon, get a hot chocolate, your blanky and hot water bottle and download The Help film. I will be watching it too tonight. Keep a place on the sofa for you ?

Hugs back thank you dear lady
You realize that you don't want to upset people. That makes you a good person. Think about that.

Been there. Done that. When talking about cars, they always bring up how fast it can go from 0 to 60. Where emotions are concerned, it's more like 60-0, and even when you know what it is you SHOULD do, pulling yourself together enough to do that can seem an insurmountable task. What normally works for you? For me, it's getting away. Going for a drive or diving into some music. Hope you're feeling better soon.
