Okay guys, it's safe to come out. No haraguing you this time - I'm in a much more positive mood than I was yesterday. And I've said my piece on the SCML debate, so no more about that. Although I'm curious to know whether the silence comments-wise on that post is due to me upsetting large numbers of people and them not wanting to say, or whether you just don't care. *grins* If people are upset with me, I'd rather they say - I know I can be a pain sometimes and I'd like to know if I'm bugging folks.

All that said, onto why I'm in such a better mood. I went canoeing today, with Julie and a bunch of people from the hospital where she works. It was the best possible day, sunny with occasional patches of cloud to give us a break from the sun, nice breeze, perfect water temperature. I'm tired - got a tad too much sun despite the Akubra I was wearing and since I was in the back, I was doing a lot of the work keeping us on track - but it's a good kind of tired. That "I've been doing something enjoyable and fun" tired that you get after exercise or dancing or spending the day with friends or sex. And there's nothign like floating down a river on a lovely sunny day to pull you out of a funk.
*grins* Those Taoists have it right. Water rocks.
It's been a bit of an emotional rollercoaster here lately, and not just mine. BRM's been swinging badly - he was almost manic yesterday and the day before - and today he crashed again. Not quite so badly as the previous weeks, tho' - he's been actually doing stuff today.
Packing, in fact. *nods* Yep, he's putting his stuff into boxes, in preparation for moving out over Easter, I think. It's actually happening.
My counsellor gave me two bits of "homework" to do before our next session. One was to book my plane tickets, which I've done (laid down the deposit yesterday, in fact), and the other was to set a firm date with BRM for him to move out. We'd agreed on by GASP (five weeks away), but it turns out he may not even be that long. His plans change daily depending on his mood, but if he's tossing things in boxes, it looks like it's going to happen.
I'll tell you how I feel about it when I've figured that out. ;)
I actually wrote last night, too - sat up in bed til late getting down another section of a SCPD fic I'm co-writing. There's a part I want to polish up and then I'll send it on. Considering this one started last May (as a birthday gift, no less *grins*), I'd like to make more effort to getting it done before this May. A year's more than enough time for a fic - I've been horribly slack.
Hmm, I smell. And I'm getting stiff - time for a bath, I think. I had one last night, reading Gerg's Buddhism book in the tub, which did a lot to improve the mood - and jump-start the writing, since that's when I had the idea for my bit. Let's see what happens this time, eh?
