Winter doesn't always affect me like this, but this year I am reallllllly feeling like when it's gray my mood is blah and when it's sunny I feel better.

I feel that kind of gnawing depression where it's not sitting right in the middle of my chest, paralyzing me, but it's chewing all around my edges and making me want to cry at weird times. (That's the anxiety-depression mix, I think. Stress fuels it all. Bleah.)

So many things are going well right now, reminding myself of them helps sometimes, but sometimes rational thought just doesn't enter into it at all.

The Kickstarter is going GREAT, so at least there's that? Blew through the initial goal in 24 hours, and then blew through stretch goal 1 on day 2, and stretch goal 2 on day 3. Day 4 (today) is usually when campaigns slow down, so I'm telling myself not to worry if it seems like it grinds to a halt. That always happens.

House renovation is also going well, although as usual it's taking too long and it's going to be way more expensive than originally planned. Even knowing that, with pandemic shortages and slowdowns, it's worse than usual. But the parts that are done are fantastic. Three of four bathrooms have been completely ripped out and re-done, and the fourth one is in process now.

The radiator that burst in the deep freeze has been replaced... and it's looking like that's all that we needed to do. The room that flooded under it is still under renovation, so they were able to dry out everything and won't even have to replace anything! Amazing news!

Also in the bad news-turned-good news department... our home owners insurance just sent a letter saying because they didn't know about the renovation (they totally did, though...?) they're cancelling our policy. Bad. But we just got a quote from a company we like better... and it's $3,000 a year less. Good! That's roundtrip plan tickets to Japan for all three of us right there...?

Now if I can just have this bad-news-to-good-news fairy dust fall on some of my writing career stuff, that'll make me feel best of all!
