I've hit that moment when you're sleepy and warm and it seems like everything is good.

I've dropped NaNo. I really was going to skip it entirely this year, because I didn't really feel it, but

nonewwitticisms snarked at me until I said I'd do it. Seeing as how I haven't touched it since the third, I'm just not going to bother with it anymore.

I walked two miles last night, walked three miles today, lost my id, cleaned the living room, found my id again. Voted. Put out like this, it doesn't seem like so much, but my day felt so full. In a good way, not the rushed I can never get anything done sort of way.

My favorite Japanese restaurant now has a Japanese food supply store on the floor below it, and I finally found the bonito flakes I needed to make dashi stock for my attempt at miso soup. Now I just need to make a list of everything else I need so that I can begin my cooking adventure. They also had mango mochi ice cream, which I promptly bought and stashed into my freezer. I haven't eaten any of it yet, but just the fact that it exists in my possession makes me warm inside.

I feel, just for a moment, that life isn't all that difficult. I'm still deeply in debt, but it's under control. My credit is still fantastic, and I don't have creditors at my door. I have people who love me. I have class, which drives me up the wall and terrifies me but I really do love it all, deep inside.

I want my hair to grow out faster so that I can put it in a braid. I want to suck on peppermint sticks and read philosophy books in a place with really good chai. I want to write something wonderful. I want to instill something into these words to share my transient happiness with you all.

I'm sure the way I feel right now will go away in the morning, but for right now, just be happy. Think of everything you've accomplished and loved instead of how you've failed. I think it'll change your perception of yourself, even if it's just for a moment.

Tell me a story.
