Little Things
Incandescently angry right now. I am reminded of why I shouldn't check my email before bed. It is going to take me some time before I can calm down enough to sleep.
So I'm going to take a page from![[personal profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/silk/identity/user.png)
jjhunter's book and am asking you to share something little (or big) that makes you happy. It could be a cute picture, a song you like, a poem you've read, some moment in your day, something interesting you have been thinking about.
And I am going to share three good things:
1. In an effort to cheer me up, my sweetheart bought me Within Temptation's new album. I love listening to new music and there's nothing quite like some gothic rock to brighten the day.
2. The album includes a cover of "Radioactive" which, while lovely enough doesn't quite live up to what I consider the definitive version... which I went and relistened to once or thrice.
3. Lemon balm or melissa is meant to be one of those calming herbs like lavender. I don't know whether that is true or whether it is the simple act of having a cup of tea that helps. Whatever the case, it is a wonderful thing that it grows like crazy and I have a giant jar full of homegrown lemon balm in the cupboard. I'm going to make a cup now, then go to bed.

I am so glad to hear that your story is cooperating! Is this the one that you are serialising?
I think it is a very good thing to be easily pleased.
Thank you for stopping by and cheering me up.

Nope. I should get back to it soon/now, but I'm (probably) over halfway through the other one, so I think I'll try and push for a finished draft of it. It'll reduce my initial buffer for the serial, but that shouldn't be an issue unless I do nothing for the rest of the next two months.
It is. ^_^ I'm quite grateful I'm so easily pleased in what makes me happy as I'm incredibly picky in most everything else.
I'm glad I was able to help! ^_^
