Sometimes, I am pretty sure I function at an unnecessarily high angst level. As if I was born into the wrong century and should have instead been a melancholy chimney sweep. I really like cleaning things, I enjoy tweed, I could have been a kick-ass chimney sweep. However, the majority of time I can laugh at myself and move past whatever today's new trial is.
Sometimes though, I let myself marinate a little too long in it, so to prevent the marinating from continuing, I'm trying something different. I'm going to will myself out of this mood, not by mocking myself, but instead by focusing on the awesome.
The Awesome:
-The text message I received in error yesterday: "All of a sudden its dumping out honey - hope we can get out!!" Did they get out? Do they still need help? What was dumping out honey? So many unanswered questions.
-"All Songs Considered", "SModcast", and the previously undiscovered fact that I really love podcasts. I also love Kevin Smith, but that's less of an undiscovered fact and more of a universal truth.
-Sleepless by the Decemberists. So beautiful, so moving.
-My future plans for our garden. I spent a big chunk of the weekend drawing up plans to turn our shady apartment backyard into a flourishing wonderland. This is a big experiment for us, so you will see a lot of posts about this coming up.
-My business class has started and drawing up plans for a new future makes me fearful but really buoyant. I just need to let the buoyancy stay and not float away.
-Our taxes are 99% done.
Oh, and one of the most awesome parts.
-Getting to tell Mike a surprise via the website. Guess who thinks she's ready to start gaming again?
