It's amazing what a decent night's sleep does for one's mood. There's freezing rain outside, and my sidewalk was icy enough this morning to almost land me flat on my butt when I skidded across it. My office is freezing, and the windows are leaking (as usual, when it rains), but I don't care.
I've had quite the productive week at work, despite the occasional weirdness. I have a consistent creative outlet these days that just delights me. I'm nearly finished with a major knitting project, and that makes me happy because it means I can buy yarn for the next one. :)
And tonight I'll be reunited with my pool cue for the first time in too long, and get to hang out with
sfw_dc & Co. for the first time in too long as well.
Tomorrow there's dinner with
wayward_va and movie with him and A.
And next weekend I get new haircolor and D&D.
Life is pretty damned good, all things considered.
On a completely different note, I think I've decided to devote this year's salary increase (such as it is) to hiring a cleaning service to spiff up my house once every couple of weeks. This strikes me as a particularly good idea during the period when I have the house on the market, but I don't think I'll wait that long to do it. It would be nice to divert some energy from the minutiae of keeping the house clean to other things, and for once in my life, I actually have a little money to throw at the problem.
