Reaching the end of the tether

For one reason or another work -- and one job in particular that won't go away -- is really stressing me out. I can't quite work out why it is driving me quite so mad. But I felt like I had reached the end of my tether today.  I don't feel like I am in control of my own workflow or even life at the moment. Better, however, was working on the other job for mes amis in Paris about dogs' ears.  

I went for a walk after work, having been manacled to my desk all day, listening to The Trees by Percival Everett, which I am really liking. I ate some more veggie chilli and then Lorraine came home and instantly made everything feel better.
