I was talking with a friend yesterday about how I have been feeling and she accused me of having HRP. HRP? Yeah, happy relationship paranoia. She asked me if I am just creating problems where they don't exist because I am not used to being happy. And damn if there isn't some truth to that. I am so used to being sad and depressed that when I am not, I don't know how to behave any more. This was her theory and she might be right. There's nothing technically wrong and it's such an odd weird position to be in that I am not sure about it. It feels... wrong. But I need to go with the flow and stop trying to create situations that don't exist.

I spent the majority of the day in the house working. I actually can't wait until Sunday when I go to DC. I feel the need to get out of town alone and this will be perfect. I have never been to DC and while I probably won't get a chance to see anything of any interest, it's one more place I can add to the list of visited sites. Next month we add Ohio to the list but for now DC it is.

My coworker came over around 2 so we could work on something together. The kid was off with her grandmother which gave us the whole house. We managed to get through some things and make headway on a couple of small issues that are in prep for next week.

TGF came over around 4:30 and stayed until almost 10. We had a nice dinner, watched some TV, played with the bird, and again, there were no issues. She was in a good mood, I was doing okay, and everything felt good. Once I let go of the HRP there was no issue.

I always ponder in this blog about being happy and what that means. Maybe it just means things are okay. Nothing exciting, nothing dramatic, nothing outrageous. Just going along. Is that life? Is that what we all seek and are meant for in this life?

Maybe.
