September too

On Thursday, in spite of a continuing migraine, I went to my favorite farmers' market and made myself useful to a couple of the vendors. Oh, I also got fresh figs, fresh tomatoes, and peppermint essential oil, but for the most part it was the being useful that made me happiest. It was also an excellent day for observing human interactions. One person I see there regularly is particularly interesting: the person would probably claim to be socially awkward, yet they may be genuinely well-liked by more people than anyone else around. Watching them is an education in its own right, and I wonder how much of what they do comes naturally and how much was learned the hard way. Of course at the market there are also the people who think their social skills are fabulous but unintentionally make many folks they deal with rather uncomfortable (boundaries are important, people!). There are also people who each think they're being obviously friendly to each other but come from such different social environments that each thinks the other is being a wee bit hostile. And then there are the folks who are genuinely creepy, but those are rare at that market and haven't bothered me too much yet.

Today (Friday) the migraine was worse and I was super-tired as well, so I did rather few of the useful things I had hoped to do. I did throw away five or six items from my room, though, which is better than doing nothing at all. Here's hoping I'll have more energy tomorrow. With luck, I may even get out of the house!

Here, have some quiz results:
