Happy!

I have been very emotional lately. It seems like the tiniest frustration can send me into tears. Also I am feeling my highs higher and my lows lower, like I did before menopause. I am not sure why this is suddenly occurring, but I am definitely a fan. I sort of feel a lot more like my "old" self. I loved my new self too, but this, this intensity is sort of great to have back.

I really love the show Atypical. I have thought this is because of the autistic representation and because I relate so heavily to the main character, but also, perhaps more importantly, none of the characters are presented as bad. It isn't often that a show leans so heavily in that direction, and that is how I see the world, so it really works for me. It feels good.

In less good news, my left knee is really hurting today. The top outer quadrant feels like it is on fire. My left SI joint is also hurting. At least, I know where that pain is coming from. I was showing my partner how to loosen up her SI joint yesterday (on my body). Now, it is achy (but not unbearably so). My knee on the other hand!
