It was quite a busy Monday, and it was quite surprising how quickly the time blitzed by. There was just so much to do and only so much time in the day to clear my to-do list. I covered all of the bigger items at least, so that's a relief. But I also feel like I could have gotten a bit more done - the end of the workday just crept up on me.
It doesn't help that the weather has been rather abysmal today, given the combined efforts of a supertyphoon (Ragasa/Nando) and a still-far-off typhoon (Neoguri), making things in the region very wet indeed. We've had varied bouts of lots of rain, very strong winds, or a combination of the two. I'm glad none of our utilities were interrupted. Otherwise, things would be even more miserable.
But outside of all of this, I'm feeling good. Tobie and I finally got to address something that has been nagging us for some time, and it really did take our combined efforts to get through. I know we can be very insular, and our active circle of friends can be very limited, depending on your perspective of such things. Reaching out to others takes a lot more consideration than it used to. But there are those who are solidly in that circle that we'd probably be willing to do almost anything within our power when called to do so. It's the calling bit that can be tricky for many. Or maybe it's just easier to keep a sort of professional distance with everyone outside your own circle of trust - fewer disappointments that way.
I feel better, though. No one has it entirely easy in this life, and we'll only get through things by helping one another when we can. We will never have enough to cover everything but when we can help, we at least try, right?
Weird Monday mood.
