happy dance!
some mornings it just doesn't seem worth it to gnaw through the leather straps.

love that quote. thanks to![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
gwferguson for sharing it.
today,however,has not been too bad. my happy dance is due to the fact that i just got back from my dental checkup and i have NO CAVITIES!!! i don't have to go back to the dentist until august. this makes me ecstatic. i actually like my dentist,but i don't like having dental work done. one of the rare ways i'm normal,i suppose. and it also makes me happy to have one less thing i 'have' to do.
life's been a challenge lately,what with my dad and his declining mental faculties and stubborness in wanting to do anything about it and my job being changed by my bosses. my sisters are a great help with the former,and i'm working on adjusting to the latter mentally and that's going okay so far. still,i can really relate to that quote. however,i'm trying to find a good cognitive way to change my thinking about the 'getting out of bed in the morning' thing. once i'm out of bed,it's not so bad. it's like my brain thinks negative thoughts more often when i'm horizontal. but i'm working on it. i don't ALWAYS have yucky thoughts when i'm lying in bed. it's more when i HAVE to get out of bed at a certain time to and do things,like go to work,that might not be my first choice!
meanwhile,i'm finally starting to like doctor who number 4,the one played by tom baker. i absolutely loved 'genesis of the daleks' and just watched 'robots of death'. i actually bought myself a copy of that one because the costumes and set design are so beautiful. rather art deco,which i love.
i want someday to have a life that includes socializing,but i'm working on finding a way to have energy for that. meanwhile,there's tv,even if there isn't much of it i like. but there IS some. on friday nights i've been watching 'monk' and 'numbers'. monk is great and i like the ocd stuff because i have some of that too and it's good to see it out there and laugh. 'numbers' fascinates because of,well,the numbers. plus,i like guys with curly hair. ha. when i was younger i didn't like math or science but i'm more interested in it now. i think it's because all the physics and studying how the universe is created interests me,and it all ties together. i like to see connections. a lot of the metaphysics i've been studying for years doesn't seem as crazy now. i mean,people finally got it that the world wasn't flat,so that's good.
just rambling. i think i'll see what's on oprah today. i haven't found anything of interest on her show lately,but we'll see. is it suppertime yet? food is still the highlight of my days many days,and i want that to change too. just need to find some friends and the energy to sustain friendship,that's all.
and so it goes...
i'm training myself to obsess about the things i like in my days...so,NO CAVITIES,NO CAVITIES! really,that does make me smile,pun intended.
