What goes up must come down

Dear Blog-Reader People,

I have recently been inspired by reading someone's online journal - so I may change my format up a little bit & might post some deeper & maybe meaningful of my "random thoughts." To be honest, I'm a little bummed right now - there are tons of reasons for that. . .but I won't go into that in this format - but my question is - why do I think I always have to be in a good mood?

Let's think about that - if I were ALWAYS in a good mood, then could I classifly it as a "good" mood -or would my euthymic level just be elevated to a level higher than normal (yes, I've been doing my Psychiatry homework, for you non-Med school people, the definition of euthymic is a mood which is neither elevated nor depressed). . .or is my constant "good" mood now solidified by the fact that I have been in a "bad" mood for the past several days? The way I see it, in order for me to maintain MY status-quo, this past few days of mal-temperment is necessary so that later this week when I get back to normal, I can say "I'm in a good mood" and not be lying.

Enough of that - my Challenge group will be here in 1.25 hours & my house is a wreck - so I'm going to "fake clean" it. By the way, I love the time change - it stays light longer. . .which means I'll be spending an extra hour at SBs before having to come home & run with Jez!
