I am not sure what happened. The day was going along just fine and then all of a sudden, it was like someone drew a blanket over my happy mood, and I’ve been feeling blue ever since.
Plenty of good things happened today. Andy stayed home from work, which he hardly ever does on these lesser holidays. A friend came over for a late breakfast and a little crafting (knitting for her, handkerchief production for me).
I got more sewing done: a small stack of handkerchiefs and two flax seed eye pillows in muslin, with washable covers out of something else that’s sexier up next. Because nothing says sexy like I’m blocking out all the light so that I can sleep. Andy made a pumpkin pie and some perfect new wooden legs for a chair and a couch.
I remembered today, because it’s Martin Luther King, Jr. Day, that the Feast of Madelyn is coming up this Thursday, and yet again I forgot to plan anything. Maybe that’s what happened, just an anniversary effect.
I think I’m going to have to break out the old standby and take a nice candle shower. Candle showers are when I light a few candles in the bathroom and then stand under the hot water until it runs out. Our shower curtain has prisms and so I get the added bonus of pretty rainbows. Not the most earth-friendly habit but very soothing to me.
No update on Devin, but it’s a no-news-is-good-news situation. I lit a candle for him here today and prayed again this morning. At the risk of sounding like a broken record, please send any good energy you can in his direction. I keep waiting to hear from my friend the good news that he’s woken up and is going to be okay.
Time to go eat some pie, I think. And take that candle shower. Everything will look better in the morning, I’m sure.

You know, it could just be dolor de Domingo, slightly amplified by the holiday. I get this a lot. Not that it helps any, but it’s a theory. In any case I hope your prediction is correct and that you’re feeling better today!
