Grumbles and Grunts and Groans. And chuckles, oh my.

It's amazing the things that can suddenly make you feel better. Since the last blog I have been, uncontrollably, unhappy and grumpy. Every silver lining was just tin foil ready to drop the black could down on my head. Nothing seemed to be going right...and still nothing is. My friends are unhappy, irked and stressed to points where it's a wonder they can still function without breaking down. The situation is, and always seems to be, to my personal detriment while others are allowed to benefit and gloat. Oft times even when something goes in the direction I wanted...another thing will happen to make that option nonviable with everyone else's previous plans that all out-weigh my own needs and desires.

Yet right now I'm happy. Yes, that certain woman is the one who did it. But, it's because of a joke that was undoubtedly a shot in the dark, a last resort of childishness, that made me smile and blush and laugh like I haven't in nigh on a month.

Things are still going down hill, there's no doubt about that. And this good mood may only last a little while, a few hours, the rest of the day, till tomorrow morning when the lights get cut at the longest. But thanks to something simple and unexpected I feel good again. How can you tell? Well, because my doodle and a few others are wagging around in my head right now, hahah.

I guess that's all I've been needing, and possibly all it'll take to make me laugh and grin (and blush, ya evil woman that I love). Something unexpected, something from someone else that's a happy and foreign thought that intrudes on my own, batters my brain with confusion and absurdity, and leaves me happily confounded.

I think this is needed more often. I have to remember to thank the people who break through the miasma of gruff and steady downtrodden thoughts more often. It just occurs to me, they are the ones who are my favourite friends. And oh, how I miss them. I'll send them a picture of my doodle as part of the thank you.

(In case anyone is wondering WHY this post is written...freakishly, thank Cervantes writing style and Don Quixote's ability to be a great and easily read novel.)
