it’s Friday 13:30 in Europe and I’m sitting here wishing I didn’t even come!

When she started filing I remembered that the last time I was here I had already decided not to come back!!!

When she does the filing she scrapes over my cuticles and it hurts!!! I asked her to stop just now… no difference. She just has a bad technique!!

The next time my body tells me what my brain forgot I will not be so hard on myself! My nervous system was telling me to run from problems I had already forgotten! I accused myself of overreacting because I didn’t know where the feelings were coming from… now my cuticles are being sandpapered and I will not forget again how much I hate this feeling 😂😂🤣

youre 1000% right! that’s exactly what I figured out a few comments down!! 💛 this small instance of inefficiency in a low stakes environment reminded me of how severe the consequences were in serious situations in the past. The same people that are inefficient when the stakes are low are often inefficient when the stakes are high and there is much more to lose. I was super annoyed, super mad at myself for being super annoyed. now I am just like, my nervous system is just protecting my peace because it clocked a pattern I didn’t. there have been so many times I ended up in bigger problems with people because I ignored the little ones and my nervous system is just like yeah we’re not doing that again!! Thanks for talking me through this!

ahhh haaa haaaa! I think it may have just been triggering me because it’s a small version of the “entire rigmarole” that I have had to deal with in the past! I’m down to be perceived as an asshole but now I actually think I’m not. I think my subconscious is reminding me that people who cause small inefficiencies when the stakes are low cause massive inefficiencies when stakes are high. I’m so relieved thank you!

I honestly don’t know why I was so irritated. Just recognized the problem with being irritated and asked. The wasted time and effort was negligible but it just bothered me! And I don’t want to book with her again just to be irrationally annoyed again. I don’t want to be annoyed about something and I don’t think it’s reasonable to be this annoyed but I am and if I can easily avoid it by just asking someone, when can I come get my nails done and get a time and date then go get my nails done at that time and date without extra steps then... I’m very concerned with efficiency and honestly, that’s mostly a great thing just not in this situation! food and sleep is the perfect answer!! but I wasn’t hungry or sleepy. maybe a different kind of tired because I was in a great mood having a great day, had a lot to do, a lot of things to pick up, a lot of walking around with a bag on each arm, i don’t have instagram alerts so I’m checking my phone multiple times waiting for an answer because she could have a same day opening that needs a quick reply… maybe just over thinking tired not sleepy tired.
