Music: Evanescence Fallen
Reading: Dickens Bleak House
Biggest stressor at the moment: Was supposed to edit my writing sample for grad school apps today. Didn't because I didn't get enough stuff done yesterday.
Good things that happened today:
1. Saw Dogma. I'd seen the first half before but not the end. I was supposed to go back to the room and work and get to bed early, but when I walked into the lounge after a hall dessert outing I saw it playing and thought, "Well, I'll just stay for ten minutes." Ten minutes turned into the whole movie, and though I should've been doing other stuff, I'm really glad that I saw the movie instead. It was a lot of fun to watch.
2. Hall dessert outing. I had a brownie sundae which was freaking HUGE. The brownie itself was way too rich; when I ran out of ice cream I had to stop eating brownie because I just couldn't handle it. But it was chocolate, and chocolate makes everything wonderful. ;)
3. I went to bed very stressed and exhausted last night (I'm counting this as happening today because "last night" was technically early this morning), and when Jason came in and found out that I was upset there were wonderful cuddles. He would sometimes reach over and stroke my face in the tenderest way, and I don't know why that made/makes me melt and feel warm and amazed and lucky all at once but it did/does. I am continually in awe of how lucky I am to love this man and to have him love me back. Even when things are going to hell he can make life so much better just with a gesture or a word or a touch.
Other things to be happy about:
1. My lover is an amazing, amazing, amazing man. And he loves me. Yeah, I know I'm probably being disgustingly sappy (and somewhat repetitive) here, but when I start thinking about Jason and how unbelievably lucky I am to have him, I stay on that subject for quite a while. Probably a good thing -- it means I'm almost certain to go to bed with a smile on my face tonight.
