It's probably the lack of great sleep the last couple of nights. Like...New Years Eve I kept getting woken up by people texting me early in the morning and then last night I went to bed late and had an early shift...but like.....today was a day of feeling overstimulated.
Which I'm saying is probably due to the lack of proper sleep allowing my brain to properly rest.
Because for the most part....being at work had the mostly normal amount of stimulation in the store. The occasional customer deciding to be annoying with the squeaky toys. The random string of multiple phone calls in a row. The cashier being chatty on the radios randomly.
It's all noise that I'm pretty used to.
But today it just...was getting to be a bit too much.
And I think it was because of the wild birds stuck in our store.
As you see, we have two of them currently.
Because we keep our pallets outside in a little padlock area. And in the fall time, birds like to hang out in them. And if you're not careful...you can accidentally bring the birds inside the store when bringing the pallets back in the store to load in on the truck we send them back to the DC on....and let them loose.
Which is what happened earlier this fall.
One of my managers didn't make sure there weren't birds in the pallets before bringing them in.
And now we have two wild birds once again loose in the store for the winter.
Because they won't fly out until the spring.
Because even though we've had like no snow whatsoever this year. The inside of the store is still warmer than the outside. So the birds, with free food and free water and no predators...are quite content to hang out.
Which overall isn't that big of a deal.....when they're quiet.
But the last few days at least one if not both birds have gotten super vocal. Singing and chirping for ages above us.
And it's LOUD. And constant. And doesn't STOP.
And apparently is just one straw too many for me when I haven't had enough sleep and have been dealing with work related stress for the week.
Because I was sooooo overstimulated with the birds today. Sooo overstimulated.
I literally wanted to find something to throw at the birds just to get them to shut up so I could have some quiet for a bit because the noise was tensing me up.
And I'm grateful that I don't have to be at work for the next few days so that I can hopefully get enough restful sleep and time away from people and socialization needs that I can unwind, relax, get my zen back and not be overstimulated when I get back to work.
Because I do not need the migraine thank you very much.
Until you next find these words;
I'll be watching the leaves.
Enjoy the day!
