/me is a yo-yo.

This morning, digging out my car* with a sliver of moon overhead, I felt pretty good about myself. This whole winter weather thing can be exhausting and trying, but sometimes it offers chances for one to feel good about just surviving and getting to work at all.

And then I came home, made breakfast, read some of the stories I've been ignoring for a few days, and was slothful.

*This sort of thing is a bonding experience. I don't particularly like this car, but when I put in quite a bit of work to get it out while it's holds up it's part of the deal by providing a warm place for me to defrost my fingers I can't help but feel a bit kindly toward it.

Augh, I just realized that I still forgot to mention!: I got another card on the 29th, from soda_and_capes - a very sweet handmade Hogswatch card! :)

Normally something I try to avoid talking about on LJ...

People seem really annoyed that this meme doesn't take this or that thing into account, but
( the 'privelege' meme. Heh.  )

ETA: I'd like to add that I KNOW I had it a lot better than plenty of the people I was growing up near to.
