This week I got some really touching compliments from unexpected sources, was offered a new job for what I was earning back in the boom, had a wonderful conversation with my mom which gave me some really good ideas for improving my love life, and started a conspiracy to improve the world over sushi (again.)

I'd like to call this a really fucking good week. I was singing in the car on the way home this evening! But there was also that whole mess on Tuesday. So it's also a really fucking bad week.

How to reconcile those?

Then I remembered Elly's phrase: "don't postpone joy."
