Screwed up last night; thought I could be sensible, wasn't, got drunk. Ugh. Have spent today in useless self recrimination. Boring boring. At least I am getting better at heading off the poisonous thoughts when they start. :D

I am now watching Pride and Prejudice and sitting in bed, for duvets are cheaper than heating. What're you up to?

<3 I am imagining you literally heading off poisonous prehensile thought-vines with a machete.

Watching hockey with a cat on my lap. Not sure when I will be able to get up again--he is pretty solid.

It is getting a bit like that! Or, like... I picture it as slamming a laptop lid closed. Nope! That is unproductive!

It's kind of amazing how many of these thought trains I now recognise, how many I allowed to keep biting at me. Successfully headed off thought vines result in a sensible talking to, which mostly works. Not always, but mostly.

I envy your catness!

Which Pride and Prejudice are you watching? Frankly, I think your Sunday sounds pretty awesome. Nice and relaxing!

The Kiera Knightly one. It's not really true to the book but I very much like the family dynamic in it, and I like that it seems like real people.

It's pretty good! I just hate not achieving things, which I have emphatically not today.

I've never managed to make it through that one. The 1996 miniseries has ruined all other versions for me, possibly forever, because all I think is "that's not what happened in the book!" the whole way through.
