I'm going to be honest: I've been in a better mood than I am currently. I'd say I feel like a solid 23 doll-hairs. I've had a headache for the entirety of today; I'm in desperate need of a seriously deep neck and upper back massage; it's -40 with the windchill; Jeff just told me he has a business trip at the end of the month; and I feel irritated at people in general today.
I don't normally get too negative on these posts and that's certainly not the point of them, but I'm just bein' real here.
I'm digging for the positives in my day, but I'm pretty deep in the well, and am struggling to recall those moments of joy. When in doubt, generalize, so here goes.
1. In this crazy weather, we drove home in a nice, warm vehicle. It's more than so many people have, and for that I am grateful.
2. I posted a question on my Facebook page that was meant to be something of a survey. It was related to my anxiety and, in particular, my OCD hand washing behaviours and the point of it was to find for myself a baseline of behaviours that I feel are "reasonable", using the behaviours of others who I would consider hygienic and reasonable people. I appreciated all of the people who took the time to answer the questions. Their engagement in this process helps me more than they can know and, again, it makes me feel like I have the backing of some really awesome people as I trudge through this journey.
I very much appreciate people's willingness to talk through my thoughts with me.
3. I spent the evening on the couch under a blanket, drinking tea. Again, while there is a windchill warning in effect, there is certainly no better place to be than at home with a working furnace, comfortable couch, and steaming cup of tea.
And with that, I bid this day farewell.
