I was in a moderately grumpy mood yesterday, with biochemical and physical causes colliding with some others. I poked on the computer in the morning until 8:30 when i realized i had fifteen minutes to get to someone's front door. I dashed around and was only slightly late, Christine making me my usual on the fly breakfast. Friend DE was waiting with a cat carrier: she wanted a ride after Meeting to recover her cat from intensive care. I squashed my initial indignation at the surprise: i can understand a rapid change of events, and then she explained that the care place was right on the road to meeting, and her bank right down the street from meeting. It was an efficient errand to run at the same time.
For Library committee meeting, i had let folks know it would be a work time. I didn't get very far with what i wanted to do, but i made incremental progress. I need to think what's needed for Tuesday night.
I greeted for Meeting, which means i wasn't in Worship the whole time. I didn't have as settled in an experience as i would like. Still, i had some thoughts about how to bring back some practice to this morning writing: rotate through the seven areas of balance. Some mornings when friends & family are the topic, i may write others; when community is the topic, i may write up library processes. This morning time is my most motivated and ambitious.
After Meeting i was hungry, but believed i'd be home soon. Reclaiming the cat stretched out hours, and i was glad i was able to help DE negotiate a particularly annoying bit of banking plus ATM -- but i was really feeling pretty out of it by the time i got home. Christine called me, worried, at 2, just as i was dropping DE off. She had a prepared rice and beans and tamale dish heating, that set me back on my feet. I was moody though: the disruption had "eaten into my day," my unplanned time was lessened and grumble grumble vacation over grumble. I drew up a plan for the shelf heights for the hall, and a friend called wanting to know if we'd meet for coffee. I value her reaching out, so as Christine was also up for it, we joined her for coffee too. I think my off mood made me an off companion -- this is part of my frequent conservation of energy and turning down of invitations. I was grumpy at the end of groceries, and bought a splurge. I sat in front of Peresopolis and watched. Then i fiddled with the Xbox game we have upgraded from demo to owned, Peggle. When you clear a level on the first try, it plays Ode to Joy, fireworks, and splashes rainbows on the screen. It douses you in points and affirmation and all sorts of happy cheer. Then we watched a Netflix streaming TV show, Surface, which has a little in common with the Sunday night viewing of X-Files from the 90's.
I grumped as we were retiring, but really it was a fine day. It was me who was out of sorts.

I need to buy Maseca -

i think quick nibbles made with this could be more comfortable for my still reactive mouth than the hard sharp carb nibbles that are most available to me as i avoid wheat.

0.Time: i sketched out plans in my 23 July entry "Goals Check-In: Week 2.57 of 17 (Summer/Autumn)" and i'll plan to make Labor day another four day weekend. That will put a break in between travel. I clearly need to take time towards the end of September, too. It won't be the week long vacation back east, but i need to take some retreat and go through papers time.
This week -- aiee! -- [moved to to-do-list tool]
I miss logging the wonderful and creative things i did on my vacation, the places i got "hung up" (on a review of photos). But i'm going to let it go.
