1 step up, 1 step down

i'm in a weird space this evening, not actually sure how i feel and my mind's all over the place.

today:

feeling much better this morning, the pushy financial consultant arriving at our door (the security guard failed completely) just as  i was rushing mr smear out to meet my mom and drop him off at school. afterwards we grabbed coffee and tea and then i got a ride to protoplasm's new workspace to drop off his birthday present, we had a good chat and then i went to work.

work was pretty darned satisfying. i closed the day by delivering the work i was originally tasked with, and now i'm on to the next mission. and my briyani lunch was fantastic.

i came home too late to swim, had a bit of a mixed-feelings evening.

yesterday:

a tough and tedious workday. coming home late from a very pleasant post-work barbecue after mr smear had already fallen asleep, trying to get to bed early but still awake until at least midnight

tuesday:

the last part of the day was baffling and gave me a headache, and then after i left i learned that i was late because gd was going to a talk. after getting mr smear to bed early after a pleasant evening, i completed a writing assignment in a completely different way from what i'd planned and i was really happy with it.

monday:

i was still awfully tired on monday, and only started coming right this morning.

now it's late again and i haven't done the one thing i was supposed to be doing for the past couple of hours. not good.
