Sad today
Today is one of those days when I just feel very sad, but for no particular reason. I know there are people with real problems in the world who have much more reason to feel sad than I do, but since sad has an inexaustible supply, I don't worry too much about hogging someone else's share of sad. When I was younger, I fancied I was the only one with occasional unexplained sadness. Now I am older and realize that I am not special - there are plenty of other sad people too. So now I can also be sad about being not particularly special. Ok, that last sentence was a joke. Sad days for me seem to correlate highly with how much I liked what I ate. Today for lunch I had yogurt. I am currently having a snack on Reduced Fat Toastchee. I didn't have the yogurt so much for diet purposes as because there was nothing at home to bring and I didn't want to buy something. The Toastchee is for fun - I love Toastchee. When I was on Weight Watchers, losing weight also had some correlation to less sad days. Weight Watchers is hard work. It was at least easy to go to the meetings when I worked at a place that had meetings at work. After leaving, I just couldn't make it to meetings anymore.
It looks like it may rain again. Geez. I remember when summers used to be dry for weeks. I know the rain is better, but I feel like I should start building a boat.
