That was some of the best REM sleep I have had in a while. I am sure there are studies to back this up, going to bed happy makes for a better night's sleep in my opinion. Sometimes I need the catharsis that writing provides to get all the negative out of me. I wrote B a letter yesterday morning apologizing for being suck a dick over the weekend. It was less of an apology and more of a 'hey here's what's bugging me right now' and the act of doing that helped release it from me. It let me be in a better mood yesterday. I was also able to get quite a bit accomplished on the curriculum I am writing which felt good too. I needed the act of getting something done to help me over my grump hump. Needed to feel that something is in my control. I really do think that's why I hate traffic so much. I feel helpless to do anything and can't accomplish anything. It's just sitting. I don't mind just sitting when I am in control of just sitting. Anything that's forced upon me is going to piss me off.

After working yesterday, B and I went on a hunt. A hunt for some clothes to wear in this damn heat and for this weekend. We are off to the park this weekend for Father's Day and I have been frustrated with my clothing choices. Specifically my options in shorts. I have none. None that fit anyway. Before we left I got a call from the computer guy. He will be here at 11am today to fix my hard drive. Yay!

Got to the mall around 4 and proceeded to go to about 12 different stores. In the end I found two pairs of shorts and a tank and she found two dresses to wear. Dresses are the most convenient thing in the world. One piece so you don't have to match, you always look nice even though you literally pulled it over your head, you can make it work for both casual and business settings, and you're always cooler than when wearing pants. Believe you me, if society didn't suck, I would wear nothing but dresses. Alas, society does in fact suck and I instead found shorts. The upside is I did find shorts. That makes me happy. They were also on sale. I spent maybe $40 on both shorts and the shirt. After our successful shopping excursion we had some dinner and headed home. Got back home around 7:30 and relaxed. We have been playing Lego Marvel and we are at 90% completion. So close! We played until about 11 when I went off to bed and she stayed up to write. Some day she will push a book out of her even if she doesn't see it.

In the end, it was a much better day. Today I have to finish up writing 7 more demos, deal with the computer guy, and prep for the rest of the week's classes. I have six students Weds - Friday and it's the hard class. I need to be ready for them.
