Thrown for a loop

It's my day off and I'm feeling productive. Dishes done, laundry going, bed sheets changed, cat box clean. I should be outside. I will be outside later for a hike with the dog and a couple of friends.

It started a couple days ago. An overwhelming feeling like a dark cloud that is looming over me. A familiar, yet distant feeling. A feeling that I can cry in a moment without notice. I guess I am working too many hours. Maybe I have too many projects going at once. I'm strong and optimistic, yet at the moment, something is pulling me down. It will pass. I can handle it. I can move forward. I say this as a heavy feeling is in my chest and my throat. It will pass. I can handle it. I will move forward.
