Today has been one of my better days. I had a discussion about relationships. Then went and had something to eat. After my appointments, I go get something to eat. Then I go to the pharmacy and look around for a bit. Today I did that. I ended up buying another knitting magazine. I've bought three of them this month. Sometimes I do that. I look through them and see some pattern that I really want to try, end up getting it. The thing with patterns is that they can be reused. Infinitely. Never hurts to have a few really good ones around.
That was my plan tonight. To stay home and do some knitting. I still have those mittens to finish. But I ended up going to help my friend pack his glassware and dishes. We got quite a lot done, but it took pretty much all night.
Anyway, earlier.... When I was on the bus coming back home... I ran into my friend who was just getting off work. We went to his place and watched a movie. We watched "Misfire". I could have stayed for something to eat, but I had already eaten and I wanted to get started on my stuff. Which I didn't get to do tonight.
I'm hoping to go back to the hospital tomorrow to see my Grandmother. I've been sick with whatever has been going around here. I can't go around infecting others. Now that I'm feeling better and most of the people I've been in contact with have already had it... I can start going about my regular routine.
I've got some stuff to do tomorrow, so hopefully I can get some sleep tonight. It was noisy here this morning (when I finally fell asleep) so didn't get a lot of sleep.
I wrote a couple new poems. Not acrostic this time. I enjoy those because they are easier to write than others, but I was reading the submissions and they were all really good. Made me want to try harder to write something better. Also, been wanting to write actual stories again. I got a good start on one. A few pages, but a start nonetheless. Not sure where I'm going with it, yet. It's unlike anything I've ever written before.
Had a discussion about writing with someone tonight. There's a couple people I've been talking about writing with. Not writing with them, (which I'd like to do, possibly) but talking with them about writing. I want to read their stuff and I'd let them read mine. Although mine isn't the greatest. Been away from it for so long. I used to write short stories. I wrote only one short story recently. Was kind of corny and was an attempt at irony. Gotta love irony. It's ironic!
Been thinking about a lot of things. Especially about the conversations I've been having lately. I picked up a book about communication between the genders. It's called: "You Just Don't Understand!" and it's a sequel to "That's Not What I Meant!" Both written by a person who has studied socio-linguistics. I've heard of neuro-linguistics, but this is the first time I've heard of socio-linguistics. The only difference being one is sociology and the other neurology. Combined with linguistics. I'm curious as to what she has to say in this book. I'll probably end up reading the other one, too.
I still haven't finished "Choices". It's taken me so long to read it, but there are parts I know I'm going to have to re-read. Then there is the sequel to that book called "What To Say When You Talk To Yourself." I guess it's to do with positive programming.
Realized that the doubt has been weighing me down. Have to start believing in myself again. Others don't have to believe in me, I have to believe in me. The opposite of doubt is belief. Gotta start replacing the negatives with the positives. Switching it up. To start to get back up. Higher than I was before. BUT, the higher I get, the further I have to fall. I keep reminding myself of this. There will be ups and downs. That's life. Nobody can stay up ALL the time. It's impossible. As much as I would love to, I simply cannot. The sooner I accept this, the better. ALSO, the sooner I have a plan in place to protect myself, when that happens, the better. The easier it will be to get right back up again.
