You have to hand it to the Army, that marketing campaign they have been using recently is a good one. I would love to see the extreme disillusionment of new recruits when they realize this "army of one" line is pure invention.
Today has felt like it was four days long.
I won't even go into the unpleasant aspects of the day. I should stop being such a negative whiner, as more than a few people have so kindly pointed out. It's okay. I much prefer people to say such things to my face than make passive aggressive comments about it. I am a rather pessimistic person, truth be told. I prefer to be surprised when things work out.
I am so damn tired of everything. I feel bad about that, because I know it causes me to withdraw from everything and everyone. But I think it is better if I retreat when I'm not in an even cheerful state. Why torment my friends with my bad moods? I have a hard time having fun when I feel this way.
I'll make an effort this weekend.
The better side of the day: Alan's fever seems gone, I drove the UHaul truck without incident, Brett helped move the couch into the apartment, and I made a lot of chocolate hazelnut palmiers and dipped them in yet more chocolate. My coworkers shall reap the rewards of my urge to bake.
Working in the kitchen is soothing until one spills sugar all over the baking pan. Argh.
