Meh. Nothing to see here, just rambling to myself, you can go about your business.
I slept too long. Way too long.
The 5gratitudes mod still hasn't posted my post, nor anything since December 26th. Why would a community like that need to be moderated, anyway?
Stupid postage prices are going up again. On January 27. By one penny for domestic mail. It costs a LOT of money (and hassle) every time they change prices, so why can't they do it less often, then raise the price by three cents or something? I mean, yeah it's cool that I can send an ounce of stuff cross country for only 45 (or 46) cents and have it arrive in only three days. I also sent some postcards to Europe ($1.05/$1.10 per ounce) and they arrived in only four days.
I want to communicate with people, write letters and emails and reply to journals and blogs and comments, but my mood is so foul that it feels like anything I write will just be... meh.
I will try to think of 5 things I'm happy about/grateful for anyway.
- Watching my cats' ears turn around and seeing all the ways they can move. And the cat doesn't even have to concentrate on it, the ears just go.
- Having a few hundred dollars worth of unused postage stamps to use, because I'm such a slut for them, and used to buy them in huge quantities, all the commemoratives that appealed to me. Then I stopped writing very many snail mail letter or participating in assorted swaps.
- Quaker brand Chewy Dipps Caramel Nut granola bars. Kind of like a Snickers bar with crispy rice in also. Especially good with apples.
- I think it's finally apple season? I'm picky about my apples, they must be crisp, not mushy at all.
- The fact that there are better therapies and understand about things like depression and bipolar than there were a couple decades ago.
