I don't even like Halloween (yes, I'm that girl. Do not judge.), but I took today off. We slept in, and now I'm baking Ricotta Cookies. They smell delicious. The majority of them will come along with us to Kimmeh's party tomorrow night, but I might have to sample just a few. Have to make sure they're edible, you know.

While I'm past the Great Flu of '13, I still feel a bit low-power, generally meh, and mostly down.. I notice it most when I'm with Ragazz' (who loves me the most, and with whom I can be the most "me"). I'm quieter, more content to just sit and not jabber. Jabbering all the time is exhausting when I'm down. I can turn it on at work, and when I need to in social situations, but when I'm home, I just want to be quiet.

This makes me even more thankful for my wonderful Ragazz'. He loves me quiet or jabbery, whirling or still. It's safe to feel the way I NEED to feel, and I don't have to put on a show.

I *know* that I need to exercise again, and that it will make me feel better. I got so off-kilter when I was sick, and haven't been able to get back on the bandwagon. I don't know what stops me. Well, yeah, I do know. It just seems like a lot of effort to do that, and I don't have that much oooomph right now. It'll come back, and I'm going to have to help it along. I'll do it.

And now.. time to pull the cookies out of the oven!
