I really hate not posting for a long time and then posting with a complaint or a negative post, but here I go anyway. It's nearly six AM and I can't get to sleep because when I stop distracting myself I get caught in a loop of anxiety and recrimination over stuff that is not worth my stress time. I'm not going to get into it here, because it's money stress, and I live with it all the time, and there's no particular reason why right now I should be fretting and kicking my own ass -- money is tight but not unusually tight. Maybe it's just the thought of holiday spending. I don't know. But I feel angry and frustrated and unproductive and generally weighed upon, in a way that I know will vanish the moment I see sunlight and taste caffeine. This little black cloud will pass. But at the moment it's here, and I feel like crap, and I cannot sleep, and by God I am going to bitch about it, because xkcd is right.
By the time anyone is awake to comment, I'll be fine. But positive reinforcement is always appreciated anyway.
