Friday Five – Just not in a good mood


  1. In the first 30 days of Session, our office received one gift (nice chocolates) from a house member. In the last week, we have gotten 5 – donuts (x2), bagels, a king cake. When it rains, it pours! It just means I am ingesting WAY more carbs than I should. PLUS, a Thursday birthday and someone made key lime pie. Thank God for Monday fasts.
  2. Thursday I was feeling very good. I had all my ducks in a row, I crunched budget numbers for the next few months and felt solid, and I even calculated how much leave I’ll have and need and that’s all balanced. Then this morning, I am in a terrible mood. Just generally down.
  3. I hate to bring negativity to the blog but man am I just blah. I know it’s life and sometimes we don’t feel right and just sort of want to stop and cry but in the moment, that always feel really awful.
  4. OK, let’s be positive in these last two. Only 29 days left in session. Hopefully it’ll go fast; February already is. I know the final two weeks will be nuts but honestly, this Session has not been as crazy as last. There weren’t any very controversial bills and that makes a difference.
  5. WELL, I sat on this post all day – it’s 3:17 and while my mood hasn’t exactly turned all the way around, I am feeling…better. Ash and I had lunch and I finished grading and I walked all 22 flights of my building. So now, I am at least content.
