I've been making themes, again. Want it? You can get it here. Free. No cost. Gratis. Nada dinero. I make no money. Get no points. No votes, no anything. Zippo.

I'm doing the doing thing. Making themes, lots of cleaning. The usual need to do things when I get scared. I've been doing a lot of cleaning because I want to get as much as I can done. Just in case we have to go back, again.

It's the way I am. Usually, I fight against pathology. It's the way I am? I must need to be different, then. But I've always known that the trait to get things done when I am worried or upset is a good one. A natural defense to distract myself.

I find myself a lot more accepting of the way I am in general these days. There was a woman at the nail shop today - tall, incredibly beautiful skin. I began to feel self conscious - you can see the years I spent as a teen, baking in the sun, slathered in baby oil on my face. You can see my age. Oh well. That's my skin. That's my age. Same thing with the hump I am developing at the base of my neck. One of those dowager's hump. Small, but there. Oh well. I'm getting old, my posture has sucked, that's what happens. I'll try to sit up more but I won't wear clothes to hide whatever happens.

Everything may be pathology, but that doesn't mean you need to rail against it all. There is a lot to be said about accepting the stuff you can instead of fighting it as a matter of principle.
