The Other Shoe

[liralen]

I really thought it was going to drop when I got back from Biloxi, especially when I started sleeping eight hours a night instead of six; but I guess my body realized that I had a meeting on Thursday, consulting on Wednesday, the massage therapy and chiro on Monday, and that I had to make it to the judging on Saturday.

Making coffee this morning for church when all the kids were doing a musical was the icing on the cake.

THEN I fell over. With the same headcold/sinus cold that John had three weeks ago and is still fighting off. I slept for three hours straight after church, and have just been taking it easy all evening.

gokuma had a cool meme earlier last month, which was for seven days name things that give me joy each day, and I've been contemplating it.



Today's list:

• Having all three of incandescens, sophiap, and I finishing each others sentences while plotting.
• Sleeping
• Jet arranging his own play dates
• Having Jet say that it was perfectly understandable to him why people would like to interact with me and talk with me because he likes being around me
• Teaching Jet how to do backstitch on his stuffies and him finding that he really enjoys the sewing
• (a guilty pleasure) Rereading all of Suzanne Brockman's SEAL Tall, Dark, and Dangerous series and finding that there are more of them with some of the less than perfectly handsome characters (I LOVE Wes Skelly and Brittney) that are far more fun than the rest
• Oddly enough the taste of grapefruit Airborne
• John making dinner for me
• Making coffee that people says tastes better at church than when they make it at home
• Getting to talk to Crash when I didn't think I'd get to

*grins* I'm glad we got to talk to ... and I'm glad I'm one of your happies.

That plotting session was so much fun!

This meme is a really great mood uplifter. After describing first eight days I didn't want to finish the meme, so I changed eight into sixteen :D

Hee. I might just keep going with it, and post *something* each day that's a positive. It's just a good habit, I think, and one that I'd done years ago... Thank you, so much!!

I think it's pretty normal to have everything catch up with you after a trip and all that. Get lots of rest.

It is for me. *laughs* I usually just fall over after doing a lot of intense stuff, so it's good to have it finally happen.

That is such a nice meme!!

I like it!

I started my journal because I was intensely depressed about something, and tried to capture the things I loved each day in it to just get me back out of it. It has meandered since then, but when I found the meme I was like, "Ohhh! I should do THAT again."
