Today was a good day.  I woke up around 11:30 for reasons unknown to me, and then I sort of lazed about.  Mindy called me for a bit and we talked about her problems, and a little bit about my problems (because we're a bit self-involved), and a lot of this involves my yelling at her.  It's a nice pattern.
