Ugh. My body decided to be stupid and hit me with about of nausea in the middle of dinner last night. Not food poisoning, not PMS-related, not vomit-inducing - just enough queasiness to render speech impossible and make me useless for anything besides going home and curling up until it went away. This is especially frustrating because it used to happen to me all the time as a teenager, but then it went away and should not come back now that I'm taking care of myself and being healthy. >:(

So that meant productivity was shot for the evening, which makes me grumpy. I'm trying to get my mood back on track this morning:

1. Prior to the stomach blargh, I was having a wonderful time on my date with ratzeo, discussing plans for the Warmakers endgame.

2. Today is Friday, and it is sunny and warm.

3. This.

4. BPAL will (most likely) post this month's update tonight. I'm not looking forward to it because I actually want to make an order (perhaps it's best if I don't establish a pattern of monthly BPAL orders, you know ;D), but I like the prospect of new shinies to read about and put on my future-order wishlist.

5. Tomorrow is the first day of the Street Fair! I probably won't get to go until Sunday, but I'm still jazzed for it.

I love it when a determined effort to bring yourself out of a black mood pays off.

ratzeo came to my office to meet me for my lunch break. I was late getting back from a meeting, and so he had to wait a while in the reception area - cue speculation about "that cute boy" from co-workers, mostly married and/or older women, who were delighted to meet my boyfriend. Because apparently my boy makes quite a splash. ♥

We spent the hour walking around campus, enjoying the gorgeous sunshine and fresh air (and, of course, talking about Warmakers).

And then when I got back, a co-worker sliced up a watermelon she had brought to share with the office. Delicious. :D~

It's not that these things wouldn't have happened without me telling myself to cheer up. But determining to make myself happier put me in a better mood to receive good things, which in turn made the good things even better. And now I ♥ the world.
