It's bloody cold here. Unpleasant. I do hope that the sun will come out again soon.

PHew...

Made a narrow escape, I think, from becoming rather blue.

Was very worried yesterday.

I was walking home from the supermarket today and found myself smiling at a tiny inner light.

Tough to keep the light flickering sometimes.

I still have a terrible headache though. I also did not accomplish a great deal at work. I ramped up the energy and intensity in the last few hours and at least feel good about that. Fingers crossed that things will go well tomorrow.

Something funny - read: peculiar - happened today. A former student of mine at M_cGill called me on the phone! He is coming to Ottawa in July and wants to take me to dinner. It's sort of funny in that I've always felt that he liked me. But I mean...he's 27 at most and, here's the thing, incredibly right wing.

I mean, this guy makes Alex P. Keaton look like a socialist! He joined the Catholic church AFTER graduating from university, in part because he doesn't believe in abortion or gay rights. He campaigned for conservatives in Ontario provincial elections. He campaigned for a former Ontario cabinet minister in a conservative leadership campaign! He's my worst nightmare. (I completely respect that other people have views different to mine, but I don't want to date them!)

He's the kind of polite guy who would no doubt ask you a day in advance if he could kiss you after your date the following night.

BAHHHHHHH why me? How do I come up with these ones? Why do they like me? I'm the most loopy, left-leaning dudette you could find.

Actually, that's not true. I'm left leaning slightly towards centre. I mean, I believe in all of the lefty stuff but I understand public finance well enough to know that the left doesn't understand that you need to have a system that GENERATES REVENUES TO PAY FOR THE STUFF. And that is not an easy feat - keeping the rich creating and paying taxes to fund the poor. Really not easy. And giving people the incentives to better their own situations in life. Tricky.

But that's all I'll say about that. :)

So tired. I really still feel as though I'm dying of cold. My head is aching, my nose itching, my chest a bit stuffy. This is one tenacious virus.

I should stop here. A note of gratitude for feeling an - unforced - lift in my spirits. I really didn't want to fall into a depression just now. I mean, when does one ever want that, but...
