Despite the happy mead making, I woke up on the wrongest side of the bed yesterday. I didn't get a lot of sleep, and I was just crabby and depressed. Eh, it happens. Then I get on my favorite chat board, and people are going on about how terrific government workers have it, and they're pissed that their tax dollars go for all those holidays and cushy state benefits. I really got frustrated, which is stupid I realize but it was an emotional reaction- I didn't decide to feel that way. *sigh* Things went downhill from there. I ruminated on my financial situation and hub's employment situation and couldn't pull out of it, and ended up going home early (after ordering a bunch of expensive chocolate on my credit card- I'll let you know how it tastes; despite the fact that this wasn't the best coping mechanism evar, I'm still looking forward to tasting the stuff, which is for the record Valrhona Noir Amer and Callebaut bittersweet) to gnash and weep for a little while. Hub was very understanding, which I'm grateful for. Then we went to see 'Finding Nemo' and ate garlicky pasta and had lots of sex. I feel much better today, thanks. I still hate the money situation we're in, and can't help but feel like this is all fucked up on a very basic level (goddamn Daniel Quinn).

FYI, 'Finding Nemo' was very pretty and cute. It was almost too cute. It was like having a heavy brick of heart-warming feel-good family entertainment hitting you on the head. But it was still very pretty, and I enjoyed it. I was not in the mood for anything complicated.
