This Too Shall Pass

Late last night, I looked in the mirror, and I didn't recognize myself. I'm middle-aged, but I'm not ready for the pasture yet. I've had my two and a half cups of black coffee, and now it's water for the rest of the day. (My usual.) Tonight, I'll exercise (including pole dance) for two hours. Hydrating and moving always helps.

This morning I read a good quote that helps too - "When you're feeling happy, your belief [in yourself] will be strong. If you're feeling tired, discouraged, under the weather, or lacking energy, that's when doubts come in. Everyone has those moments, so remind yourself that the way you're feeling is temporary, and it will pass."

My fic reading for today was a work-in-progress byraine. It's called Said Nobody. I'm looking forward to the next installment.

Sounding a bit down, so time for a hug. (Icon is from a C6D show you haven't seen yet -- Slings & Arrows -- Paul Gross as Geoffrey Tennant.)

ETA: I notice that the round shape cuts off text from a lot of my userpics, so I wanted to make sure you knew the icon actually does say "time for a hug".)

Thanks so much for the hug! I made a fish dinner for hubby and me and now I'm off to exercise. So far, I've kept up with my schedule. I do feel a bit better.

Same here about the fish meal today (hubby and I are having herring with onions and mushrooms) -- however, also some less healthy eating as the library staff is observing "National Oreo Day" today with three kinds of Oreos in the staff lounge.

Oh yes! I read about that - National Oreo Day!
