Picked everything up, put away the various books & papers scattered around, dusted the furniture, ironed the clean sheets and put them on.

I know it's totally anal and ridiculous to iron sheets. Every week (ok, sometimes 10 days) when I do it, i think about how stupid it is and how much time I waste on it. It gives me a certain weird satisfaction, though. Cleaning and cooking do that. I don't understand myself. I always thought (or was raised to think) that being intelligent meant you were supposed to do things that stretched your mind, and actually doing things was somehow not good enough. That's one of the reasons I never thought of something like cooking as a career--I was a smart girl, therefore I should go to college and write papers and get a nice white-collar job. I'm not necessarily putting that down, but it can be a very limiting way of thinking.

You should be dating a Capricorn.

be egotistical, unforgiving, or anxious,
Capricorns experience an intense feeling of
satisfaction while sharing their bed with the
one they love.

It's all bollocks really :)

Now I'm not.

A bit tired, and aggravated over dinner (why don't people _remember_ what they've taken out?! It's hard to distinguish stew meat from shish kebab by sight, you know), and people aren't responding to messages (which shouldn't get me upset, I do it sometimes and I know perfectly well it's nothing personal) but in my current mood it's just another straw.

(Note: people, plural. in case any are reading this. don't get paranoid..)

And my bottom left eyelid is swollen--at first I thought it was my eye, but i had a closer look and I think it's some kind of bug bite. I hope it is, because I can't find my glasses and I can't take my contacts out until I do. (Without contacts/glasses, I can't read, use the PC, watch TV, drive, cook, or do anything that requires me to see more than 4" from my face.)

oh yes: 7 people for dinner tonight, and guess who's cooking?

Phoned someone up because they were down, and ended up getting rid of my bad mood too. :-)
