Okay, enough is enough

[booksomewench]

Holy crap has my Lj gotten to be a really negative and depressing place to be lately. "I'm sick, I don't have internets, I wanna do something but can't/I don't wanna do something but have to, I still don't feel well..." Augh.

You all know you're allowed to tell me to shut the hell up and stop whining, right?

Anywho, in an effort to combat all this recent negativity, I'm devoting this post to some of the really good things that are happening in my life right now:

*My Scion game starts in ONE WEEK. I'm so terrified excited. I've never put so much planning into a game--yesterday I bought maps! (Mostly because I suck at geography and will put mountains in the middle of a savannah somewhere). Not being negative is hard!

*I got to play in an Amber game last Monday and a Paranoia game last night, as well as playing Shadowrun these last two Tuesdays, thus satiating my RPG habit.

*Due to Price Chopper's gas deal, I filled up the tank paying $3.52 a gallon.

*I am now a size 9, and was able to fit into a size 8 dress while clothes shopping with juldea. I have bought some new clothes and now can wear things that fit.

*Last night while putting my veil away for quish (she's borrowing my veil! *squee*) I found some of my old bras, including a strapless white one. And, since I got them years ago, they fit now! And are in pretty decent shape, as I only got to wear them for a few months before changing sizes again. (The Freshman Fifteen caught up with me my junior year. With interest. ~_^)

*This is kinda gross, shogunhb is the kind of husband who washes out the bucket after I'm done throwing up into it. Now that's love.

*Almost everyone seems convinced that this was the best Fourth of July party since ever. I'm not sure why it's winning such acclaim, but I'll go with it!

*This post inspired by People Like You.

*I have new books to read, as well as eleven new books to review.

That is some serious love. And I hear you, I get really tired of posting about my pain... *hugs*

Sometimes I get so caught up in the pain and misery, I forget that there's so much else happening.

*hugs*

I'm glad I can take a few minutes to make myself remember, y'know?

*hugs* Out of everyone I know, you have the most cause to be negative. :-)

I've been feeling a little the same way- focusing a lot on the negative stuff going on, like my impending job loss, lack of employment prospects, and my medical issues. I got tired of myself, so I forced myself to be more positive.

I'm so sorry about all the suckage. I certainly felt your posts were warranted. And even in the worst of if, you managed to keep your sense of humor, so it wasn't that negative, generally.

That being said, I'm glad to hear of the good stuff happening as well. The part was really fun. Thanks.

It helps my sense of humor runs towards the self-deprecating and mordant. ~_^

But, seriously now, thanks.

It's not easy to see when you're being negative too much, but it's even harder to take the time, stop, and find the positive.

And yes, you do seem to have plenty of reason to be negative... which earns you even more respect when you choose to be positive.

You'll have to accept a virtual *HUG* for now... :)

*snark* Well, now I'm *even* more depressed hearing how happy you are... ;)

Yay, happy thoughts!

I know the feeling (in general). And yeah, husbands who are willing to clean up your vomit are worth their weight in gold. (Thankfully, I have one, too!)

I don't know you super well yet, but I think everybody's entitled to have one place to whine and vent and angst and so on. Plus...I mean, it's a journal. Your journal. (And I can't throw stones at glass houses. All this week, I whined about my strep.)

Anyway, sorry stuff is such a bummer lately, but at lest you've got some nifty things to look forward to. And a husband who is handy with the bucket. That is not to be underestimated. I once had an SO who put ashtrays next to my computer while I was preggers and nauseous, which is so like the opposite of the helpful bucket.
