The Mandelbear's Musings

A good day. I actually noticed that my mood was somewhere on the positive side of neutral, though I usually didn't know exactly by how much, and have no idea why.

It was certainly relief, when I took a closer look at my Visa bill and realized that the $4000 I had seen when I'd glanced at it a week ago was the balance and not the last month's charges.

I have no word for what I felt after an IM conversation with A, who I thought could use a friendly wave. Positive, certainly, but... ?? It still surprises me sometimes that some emotions don't have names. It makes them that much harder to think about.

Thought of the day (on going out the door the second or third time): "it isn't 'just one more thing', it's an excuse for another kiss."

My copy of Fitting In Fitness, from the American Heart Association, arrived from Powells. More on that downstream.

I got in a half-hour walk (all I felt up for, given the recent leg cramps and not wanting to push my luck). The rest of the afternoon was taken up by a brainstorming session. Useful.

Also downstream, probably later today, is my post linking to ysabetwordsmith's recent posts: Fighting Loneliness, Part 2: Very Basic Steps, and Fighting Loneliness, Part 3: Friendship Tips for Introverts. I'm finding them incredibly useful.

More cool links: a fabulous steampunkified house, and a cute bit of flash fiction: Fluffy and the Terrorist

Yeah, a good day. Two in a row. Weird. Again, I'm not complaining.
