You take the good, you take the bad...

Today I managed to not only do my laundry but also put it away where it belongs. The laundry hamper stands empty (save for a kitten currently occupying it) as testimony to this domestic miracle.

I am enjoying a celebratory Ceria Grainwave as I type. All victories are being celebrated this year, especially the small ones.

I am celebrating, because this accomplishment has occurred during a time when all my demons, and even some angels, are vomiting up all sorts of things from life at the table where we dine. I might as well have a clean floor and tidy closet.

And... I am at peace with this. Better out than in, after all. Yesterday at work, I think, was a decent catalyst for this. I say this with all sincerity, I love my job and I love what I do, but it was so slow yesterday that it was driving me to resentment because there was nothing to do but stare at the phone praying it would ring just so I had a reason to justify being there. I was a very cranky witch.

Me: I'm really struggling with being here doing nothing. At least at home I have crafting to do.

Co-worker: What kind of crafting do you do?

Me: Witch.

At the four hour mark, I had my break and sat making a list of spell-work ingredients I will be gathering up this week for the new moon. For the remaining three and a half hours, I made hunting dollars. And mocked a younger co-worker, which I don't feel great about, but he started it. "It really gets boring around 15:00, oh, I mean 3:00." My response was, "You're adorable, boy scout. I know what 24-hour time is. And this will really bake your noodle, I can tell time by ship's bells, too."

Yeah, boredom is a bad look on me.
