Hmmm, kinda sad it’s been long enough since I’ve received a major piece of good news I have to think about it some. I think that “in the moment”, good news is just as likely to be routine disrupting, but often if I do something fairly active with that energy I can settle down enough to work later in the day. It definitely seems like the throughout-the-day energy levels for me are more disrupted overall by negative news rather than by positive. Hadn’t thought about it that way before though, thanks for asking!

I didn’t get anything done yesterday because I had a migraine. It wasn’t a terrible one, and I could sit at the computer, but I couldn’t manage opening four files and moving stuff around into a new chapter, which was the plan; nor could I write new stuff. Very annoying, but overall less distressing, I think, than having bad family news.

I’m really more likely to have trouble settling down if I get very good news, oddly enough. Does that happen to you?

P.
