As Hard As It Feels At Times

I really shouldn't wait until 2am to write. And yet, here I am, at 1:44am, writing. I guess something is better than nothing. Even if the quality of content and probably grammar/punctuation suffer the later it gets. Since my primary reason for writing is to get my thoughts out of my head and down onto paper (virtual paper, I guess) it doesn't really matter how well executed my entries are. Whatever comes out is what was meant to be written. Sorry to the handful of people who might read my drivel. Some days are definitely more interesting than others.

It was a typical day. Honestly, I'm not even mad about it. Typical is good. I feel lucky that in my life "typical" isn't bad. Most days are good, even if they're slow/boring/unchallenging/mundane. I'm thankful that life for the most part is good. The fact that most of my entries entail me bitching and/or moaning about something just reflects how efficient a means of coping this diary is for me. If I can come here and whine, I'm less likely to drag that negative energy around with me. That kind of emotional baggage gets heavy fast. It also isn't what I want to release into the universe. As hard as it feels at time, I just want to be positive and uplifting. For myself, and those around me.

I got a text from Helena (my mother in law) this morning. She was upset with me because I didn't text her back promptly (she texted me yesterday asking if Jason was working after he had told her all about his new job. What was there to respond to?) She had a little hissy fit about us not being able to sustain communication and that this was the last text she was going to send me. I felt a little irate about it. Mostly because she's always gotta have everything her way. She's pushy, overbearing, demanding, and always wants things in her time. I wasn't sure how to respond when Snookums had already given her all the information she wanted. I didn't feel like talking to her, and she took it personally. Oh well. It's not like I'm going to miss being criticized or talked down to. I felt grumpy about it for a bit, then I had to let it go. No sense in dwelling on her perceived slight.

Still no word on The Nutcracker cast list. I got an email from InMotion today, and I thought it was it, but when I opened it there was only an announcement for the dance ensemble's performance at a Mariner's game next week. Cool, but not what I'm interested in finding out about! So we wait, fingers perpetually crossed.
