i'm searching for victims in the household storms

Began the day feeling more than a little cranky thanks to a certain situation going on in real life. On the plus side, the situation should be over by the end of the month; on the minus side, the offline world may have some unpleasantness in store in the next nine days or so. Gah. The suspicion that you've been lied to by someone who doesn't give a damn is never pleasant.

For most of the day, the weather certainly wasn't helping my mood any--it was dull and grey and drippy. I was complaining to daisydumont that the ambience was not quite right for curling up in bed and reading a book, yet all wrong for anything more active and cheery. As lovely as winter can be, this simply was not a lovely day... and then, as afternoon shaded into evening--as light rain continued to fall--golden sunshine came out from behind the clouds. Immediately I grabbed my coat and headed east. Rainbow! Looked up at a good, solid-seeming arc as long as it was visible, then headed back toward sunset and home.

Didn't walk much today. Too dizzy and tired. Did about half as much laundry as needs to be done. Read very little, but did listen to some BBC programmes. Talked a bit with various people (offline) for an hour or so. But I did get out to see a rainbow, so the day was far from a complete waste.
