Mid month blahs

I am in a funk. I have been for while. Iget frustrated easily and I do not feel like being bothered. It is a combo of work, personal, and grad school. I know I will get thru this It just sucks in the mean time. I cant change the people in my life, but I would love it if they did not get on my nerves as much.
Maybe this is more of a testament to my make lack of growth spiritually. Like if I was walking more closely with the Lord then maybe it would take more to upset me. Oh well.... such is life.
