Stay Calm. :-)

.....It's Tuesday morning here at the work desk. I had one boss retire last Friday and another re-assigned. I'm facing with a certain amount of dread the incoming regime of someone with whom I've worked before. I had a lot of drama thrown at me last week. A lot of angsting over the weekend. This week looks to be full of a lot of angst and drama as well. But, you know, at this very moment, I'm relatively calm and even smiling. :-)

.....I logged into e-mail this morning. Wasn't expecting a whole lot. But I received a handful of e-mails from unexpected people concerning The Crier. People noted my e-mail about the September issue being late, and instead of sending a barrage of hate mail, I instead received notes thanking me for my service and complimenting me on the look of The Crier over the past couple of years. These were people who I didn't think even knew my name. There were former Crowns, peers, past chroniclers, and other members of the An Tir populace.

.....Not a single negative e-mail. I think that I'll hold on to those good thoughts for as long as possible this morning. Definitely a good way to start the day. I'm definitely bemused. :-)

.....Angst and drama will appear as regularly scheduled either later today or tomorrow. :-)

.....P.S. But while I'm thinking of good things, if you ever get invited by the Absolutely Fantastic and Wonderful Raphaella to have dinner prepared by her, TAKE HER UP ON IT. The Beloved Tamm and I went to her dinner party on Saturday and the food was absolutely fantastic and she served it with absolute grace. We thoroughly enjoyed it!!! Thanks Raphaella!!!! :-)
