Comfort in small things.

deathpixieMan, was I ever wasted today. "Drained" sums it up best - between the worst day of my cycle, and another heavy list (including the Family Law Case from Hell - people can be so petty when it comes to divorce and children and property!) - I was pretty much exhausted by the time I got home. Nauseous, too, which fits in with my usual Wednesdays-on-the-rag symtpoms. Bleach. :P
I had a nap when I got home - I know I said I was going to training, but a ten km ride and then an hour and a half of karate were not what I needed tonight - and felt better for it. Got a call from my grandmother too, which cheered me up. She and Grandad are coming over "to give you your... a happy birthday!" as Nana put it. *grins* Their my mum's parents, my last surviving grandparents, and they're wonderful people. And since I'm the eldest grandchild, I'm doted upon - which is good, 'cause we all need a little doting now and then. ;) We're having dinner with my folks tomorrow as well, which will also be nice. More birthday-ish, since no-one's barely mentioned it at all over the past week.
Made pumpkin soup tonight, after my nap. Soup and yummy home-made bread - sometimes little things are the best. Like woolly purple socks. :) I always try and look for one good thing a day; it renews my faith in people and reminds me there is so much that is beautiful in the world. Clouds massing over the hills. Someone giving up their seat for someone on the bus or tram. A friendly smile and a sincere "How are you?" Sunlight on autumn leaves. A damn fine CD.
Now I'm sounding all soppy. ;)
