deathpixieIt was really difficult to think of enough things - even if it's only five - for this week. I considered leaving it out altogether, but in a way, I need it more than usual. It's easy to think of good things in better times, but it's when things are bad that they're most needed.
So, things I'm grateful for.
1) This link, which I found via Yasmin's journal. If you bnelieve Afghansitan should be carpet bombed, please read this.
2) The way the usual fueds and fights in the chat rooms have been put aside in favour of helping people.
3) This story by Dark Mark, posted on OTL this week.
4) The good news that Seraph has been able to get time off for the Great Australian Slumber Party, to be held at my place the weekend 5th-7th October. Now I just need to track down an Melancamp. ;)
5) That for whatever reason, the funk I've been in for the past three weeks abruptly lifted on Tuesday morning (our time), freeing me up to be as much support as required for folks online. I'm not sure how much that was, but I'm glad I was capable of it. And will be, for as long as necessary.

I'm tired. My shoulders and neck are a mess too - it's bad when no matter what position I lie in in bed, I get a headache. I think a bath is in order, and a bit of a break from things computer-related. I still have to finish my two short stories so they can be betaed - Dex and Mitai and Farli have consented, which is good. I need honest opinions on these. But the stories may just have to wait until tomorrow afternoon - half-day for work, and then lunch at mum's so I can pick up the beer Dad bought for a certain Canadian whilst in northern Queensland, at my request. Now you'll have to get down here for AussieCon, Dex, or wait until next year. ;)
