Sitting at the library today. Someone moved my favorite table so that the sun hits my laptop screen and now it is my least favorite table. I can’t see the screen.

Under normal circumstances, you can’t see how filthy my laptop it. Absolutely disgusting. I don’t want to see this,

Now I’m in such a bad mood I don’t even know how to talk about anything else. I moved my chair to the old location of the table and have my laptop on MY LAP like, it is some kind of laptop? The audacity. I’m trying to be funny but really I’m fuming. My hormones are wilding, and honestly, nothing puts me in a worse mood than the sun. Shining all over everything, so bright and hot. I hate it.

“Hate’s a strong word, Betty. I hate Nazis. I have an ex-wife; she bothers me.”

I tried to find a gif of this scene from Mad Men, but it’s incredible how bad internet search engines have gotten. Garbage, Woof, my mood, amirite?

Haha okay okay, what else do I know this week? Surely I have something nice to say. I have been hyper-focusing on bad things, for sure. Plumbing problems and weird interactions I had on the internet over a decade ago, everything bad that is happening every single day, and of course, the loathsome sunshine. I should make a list of good things.

  • Shaun and I started playing Super Mario Bros Wonder last night. It’s very cute and fun in that comforting classic Mario platform way.
  • Things have been rough for almost everyone I love, but they’re getting better every day.
  • We rewatched Amelie on Saturday. It feels so important and relatable. I fell asleep on Shaun and it was so safe and cozy and sleepy.
  • We had a wonderful video chat on Mother’s Day with my mom and siblings. I am the luckiest, loving my family is so easy and I know that isn’t always the case so I don’t want to take it for granted.
  • We have been rewatching The Good Place. It is the only tv comedy that has ever made me cry but in a good way.
  • We are planning a date night later this week! We are gonna get some Indian food and walk around downtown, maybe. It is good to have something to look forward to.
  • I have almost filled my latest bullet journal! I have been keeping one since 2016.
  • From my 2016 Bullet Journal 6 full journals and 1 empty one My new journal, I started setting it up to start in July A magic spell in stickers in my new journal.

    That worked, I’m a bit less angry at the literal Sun for its very existence. Thanks for being here, wordpress journal. Next week I will doubtless be in a better mood and maybe someone less terrified of being annoying to their fellow library patrons will have dragged this big table back to the good spot.

    Current Mood: Rubbish, but trying 🗑️🤞
