I was going to complain again tonight, but I just can’t. There are reasons I should feel bad again today. The weather, for one. It was cold and gray all day, and a light, misting rain started falling in the afternoon. I didn’t even walk out in it to get my mail. And work, there’s always work if I need something to complain about. This was one of those days when everything happens at once.

But mostly I’m kind of reeling from a bad night and felt for most of the day as if I had every right to moan and groan again. Moan and groan I did, but I just can’t do it with much conviction tonight. I’ve had the kind of support from family and friends that I was probably asking for, if only subconsciously. And I’ve turned myself around a bit, too. I’m working on the attitude, and I’m getting better at it. Must be all the practice.

Whatever it was that woke me up too early this morning and kept me in the bathroom or on my back during so much of the day, I can’t let it keep me down for another day. I have things to do, and they can’t wait. So I’m trying to take care of myself, and I absolutely plan to wake up tomorrow morning and plunge into the day, freestyle. One day wasted floating is quite enough.
