rhienellethI am in a better mood this morning. No headache, for one thing.
I brought my crappy mood yesterday home with me last night, but managed to do okay with keeping it in check and not taking it out on the spouse, until right before bed. Then he got all upset about something unrelated to me, and I responded as though it was related to me, and we both went to bed irritated and in (still) crappy moods. And then after about ten minutes, I said something like "I'm sorry I'm being such a b1tch for no real reason. I don't know why I'm cranky." And he mumbled something back, but I still didn't really feel any better. And then about five minutes later, Mark scooted over and cuddled me, and kissed my shoulder and said he loved me, and I fell asleep like that. How can one possibly maintain a cranky mood in the face of kindness and acceptance?
And those few of you who actually know my husband, you're probably aware he is not exactly what one would term 'soft' 90% of the time, LOL. I mean, he can be, and deep down he is a romantic (he'll even admit to this, on occasion). But he is a passionate person, with an Italian temper and Dutch stubbornness. (Which relates back to his parents' personalities as well, if you don't get the whole geographical bloodline character trait thing.) When we argue, he believes he's right, damn it, and he doesn't unbend much once he's mad. I know all these things about him - they are part of why I love him. That same unbending-ness is also there in his loyalty to his loved ones and friends, his morals, his honesty, etc. And the flip side of that Italian temper is also his passion about everything he loves in life. But I'm the soft one, the calm one, the one who usually cuddles and kisses and says 'I love you' when black clouds are hanging over his head. So the times when that is reversed are always a surprise to me. :)
So anyway, much better mood so far today, even if I have figured out a thing about the book that means I have to go back and add in three or four scenes to the part I've already written. *sigh* Or maybe just two, or even one...hmm. Oh, and I also have to spend some time this morning researching science. And we all know how much I love that. (Cloning, to be precise. Hopefully not as mind boggling as, say, string theory was when I tried that.)
New BSG tonight, which is another reason to be happy today. Although it's been so long, it feels a little unreal.

Telepathic Space Pirates talk yay :) Good luck with the research.
BSG *woot* - i agree, it will be surreal - but it looks like such an amazing final season :D

So I'm hoping they do, and some of what was revealed wasn't just slapped in for shock value. Given the usual level of writing for this show, I have high hopes.

Thanks! When it comes to scientific research, I can use all the luck I can get. Sometimes I wonder what the hell I was thinking, deciding to write a SF novel (I'm usually a Fantasy kinda girl.)

But just think - research is good - if you know more about what your writing about, the story will flow out of you much easier and with much more passion than when forced :)
