Good: feanelwa's party last night was fun, and almost completely filled with people I didn't already know, which made an interesting change.

Good: the Calling on Tuesday was also particularly good, leaving me with a sense of having had a generally good week filled with nice people.

Good: I stayed in bed last night for a full twelve hours, from just before midnight to just before midday, and was actually asleep for most of that. Since I usually can't manage a lie-in like that without first spending two weeks getting out of the working-life rhythm, that was unexpected and very welcome.

Bad: my bruised thumb is much worse today than it was yesterday. If this were a work day, I would be seriously considering staying at home on the basis that I wouldn't be able to type for a day without causing myself serious pain and possibly making it even worse. It's that bad.

Good: fortunately, this isn't a work day and neither is tomorrow, so I can rest my thumb and hopefully it'll be on the mend by Monday. I'm currently using different fingers for the space bar, which feels very clumsy and unnatural but will do for brief things like this diary entry.

Bad: then again, that means I don't get the opportunity to do what I want with a computer this weekend, which is a pain. I start to feel unproductive when my only serious computer use is in the line of work. Still, it's only temporary; my thumb will recover.

Good: when somebody (_proserpina_, I think) at the Calling asked me how I was, I realised that it had been a couple of weeks since anything made me seriously upset (as opposed to mildly annoyed, which is an unrealistic thing to even hope for two weeks without!), which seems to be well above average for me this year. The run of non-upsetness is still unbroken as of today, which is even better.

Bad: then again, it seems faintly depressing that that's the most I can currently aspire to. Things that make me seriously happy appear to be significantly rarer than those that make me seriously upset.

Good: however, out of all the above things, two of the bad ones are temporary and the third is not an immediate problem. So on balance, I think, things are good.
