Jun. 16th, 2005 11:36 amThis morning hasn't been my finest hours for sure, especially when I ended up crying in the bathroom then down the phone to James a little later. It was for a stupid reason too, after no one had arrived to take Corey to school and man, normally I'd brush it off and just get something sorted but today it was too much. Especially as he was so excited because the theatre company is coming to his school today and it looked like he'd miss them, and just, I felt like the worst most useless parent ever. I'll skirt past the embarrassing snivelling just know James came home from work on his break and Corey's at school now. Also, I don't want or need comments about how I'm not a bad parent because I know that. It's just how I felt at that moment, when I was stressing over stupid things. And damn, I sound rude, like I'm dictating what you can say and I didn't mean that either.
But yes, hi. This is me, back and feeling much better. Which is good as I think the couch was starting to get a permanent imprint of my ass on its cushions. I'll spare you details of what I was up to because really it's not that interesting, though the story of the extremely camp district nurse who was frightened of both Moffet and Tex was amusing I suppose. Jordan ( my pocket PC ) and I spent quality time together and ploughed our way through many stories and I watched much late night tv, though watched is the wrong word really as I tended to fall asleep half way through. However, I did see the movie White Squall and it killed me. The dolphin! OMG the dolphin. Then later as the boat is sinking and he's watching his wife and just knows. It killed me over and over.
Taking a cautious look at my in box..eeep. I saw someone had sent a lovely intelligent e mail about one of my stories and reading that made my mood so much brighter.It was a good reminder to not just send feedback about new stories but old ones too, because getting a compliment like that is the biggest buzz. Which brings me nicely to a meme because I have no actual content for this post and need filler ;)
Whether it's "in addition to" or "instead of" the sort of entry you'd post in your lj, try posting one happy memory (without also putting in the doom and gloom "balance") and come up with one productive thing you have done in the past 24 hours. It doesn't have to be something huge -- if getting up and washing your face and brushing your teeth constitutes a big accomplishment, because you've been in a depressive funk for days, then that counts!
The point is to aim for positive actions. Spread the word.
For the happy memory I was torn. Do I use the one that shows what a sap I am or the one that shows I'm a geek? In the end I geeked out *g* I know I don't mention it much on here but I'm a big trekker and have been for a long time. Voyager is my trek baby and I adore the show, faults and all. James and I had gone to a Voyager convention. It was such a blast, we met most of the crew. I got a hug from Robert Duncan McNeil, twice. I danced with borgs and fleetcrew. It was just so much fun. On Sunday we settled down to watch Kate Mulgrew ( Captain Janeway) do her talk. She was about half way through and taking questions when this strange voice asked something, we looked around, wondering who the heck sounded like that. Then the next thing we knew Patrick Stewart ( Captain Picard from Next Generation) walked on stage. I'm buzzing now just thinking of that moment, the hall erupted in sound and everyone jumped to their feet as the two captains stood on stage and embraced one another. It was just awesome.
Accomplishment? I should have done this last week when I was mega accomplished, but hey, in the last 24 hours I took a shower and actually managed to sleep in my own bed. Before that I'd been sacked out on the couch as getting upstairs was too much effort. Awesome accomplishment yeah? I may astound you all by, I don't know, opening a tin myself next ;)
And one more, the last one, promise.
Reply to this post. In this reply, ask me any number of questions. any number, as awkward or embarrassing as you like, absolutely anything at all. I promise to answer every question in complete honesty or pretend to do so anyway. Anything you want to know about me, and all you have to do is ask it today (or you know, tomorrow - later's okay too). Then, copy the text of this post and post in in your own LJ.
