Too Much of a Good Thing
Xmortis was full of drinking and dancing, followed by more sing-alongs at home with my roommate.
I wasn't driving, so I had full liberty to cut lose. This sort of thing can be dangerous to my mood, and my mood was good overall. Recent events are making me re-evaluate how much I drink when I go out. There's a tendency to retreat in my head, and be oblivious to the world around me. My mood can also cataclysmically plummet if I start having a bad time. This prevents any meaningful social interaction, or recognizing social clues. It may be worth my while to cut back even on nights when I can cut loose, just so I can be more aware. I've been able to do that at prior club nights, so this is an easily achievable goal.
Started going through my closets to get rid of old or redundant clothing to make room for the new stuff. It's pretty hard to get rid of clothing, you guys. Growing up poor trained me not to abandon anything until it's falling apart. I still managed to throw some things in a bag. In a few days, I'll just grab the bag and drop it off at Goodwill.
While I've been going on a lot lately about how "Everything is Awesome" that's not to say that everything is effortless. I still wrestle with feelings about dating, and my biggest hobby is facing a revision that might entirely change the game, invalidating years of collecting and modeling. At this stage of the game, at least I'm wrestling with feelings and not being pinned by them. I'm also focusing on the short term regarding my hobby, and enjoying what I have while it's here.
I've gotten back to the gym two weeks running, kicked one annoying habit at work, and am readily mobile again. I might even back to some regular journaling, maybe once a week.
