today was a great day. it was beautiful out. church went well. even being interviewed by 13 year olds was pleasant (they had to interview staff members as part of some church school project). and then i ran into the religious ed director and we had one great bitch session about the minister. what a relief to know she has the same frustrations that i do. she's so great. and as i stood there, on the porch of the house, in the cool breeze and golden light, green grass and trees all around, talking to this super nice person with whom i work, i thought: this is good. i'm happy. i like this. i feel good.
and i came home and kept feeling good. our house looks even better today than it did yesterday, if you can believe it. and i cooked a yummilicious dinner - spiced squash with pasta and tofu ricotta (thanks, benneth!). i feel like things are possible. i don't feel so defeated and defeatist as i did last week. this is a good way to start, i think. and i hope it keeps up.
and right now, i am having an irrepressible urge to re-read origins/haven/belong (which has a new name now, yes? hmm... will look later). have read too much crappy fic lately. neeeeed the good stuff. ok, so deal with self... need sleep so... 3 chapters of origins and then bed... sounds reasonable.
