Lifted

I apologize for that last entry. I was skidding on the edge of a dark place. I haven't felt like that in a long time. I was faced with a trigger and I let myself get pulled in. I know I'm better than that.
However...
I have been thinking seriously. I love my curves and they won't go away if I lose ten pounds, I know that. The weight loss would be only for health reasons and health reasons alone; no magic numbers or obsessions. I'd just feel better about my health overall. No single weight will make me happier, and I know full well that I shouldn't complain or whine to others, and if I want to do it, I should just do it. Which is why I am now reading over that little entry and cringing, because, really, wow, I'm sorry about that.
I forgot that I shouldn't make LJ posts when I am upset at myself like that; I get cryptic and people get worried.
No worries. I'm okay. I won't delete the post, but I will rethink why I posted it. To be honest, I haven't even gotten around to reading the comments yet, so to those who commented, I'm sorry and I'm okay. I just wanted to get this out right away.

I am back at work and grateful. My brain is better, my muscles are better.

Myers-Briggs Type Indicator, via Carl Jung

I had Adam take the Myers-Briggs Type Indicator test last night.
He came up as ENTJ.

Me? I am the definition of INFP.

Oh, and in the Chinese Zodiac, he's a Fire Dragon and I'm an Earth Goat.

How we wound up working so well together as a couple, and then a married couple, is something I am still (happily) figuring out.

Babylon 5: Day Of The Dead

I am watching this Season Five episode for the first time.
It starts Penn and Teller.
It was written by Neil Gaiman.
Written. By. Neil. Gaiman.
AUGH.

I didn't know that.

Now I see why it is Adam's favorite Babylon 5 episode. He didn't even know it was written by Neil Gaiman.

Oh, and Harlan Ellison served as creative consultant, but despite his brilliant writings, I don't much like him as a person.

But still. Neil Gaiman.

It's a fantastical, whimsical, wonderful episode.
