Waiting waiting waiting...

Probably an exercise in futility today. XD

But I can always hope.

Not that I can help it.

The hoping.

I'm even getting closer to not getting disappointed anymore when nothing happens.

That was somewhat convoluted.

Uh, I'm learning how to avoid being majorly disappointed when the things I hope for don't happen.

At least in specific situations.

Where I get my hopes up every time even though it is more likely than not that it's pointless.

And my heart doesn't learn.

But rather than tying "hope" with "expectation," I'm learning to just be hopeful and not expectant.

That way, if/when things I want don't happen, I can just accept it and move right on without getting all depressed.

I'm not quite there yet, but making progress. XD

I don't get AS bummed out.

*as I used to.

So it's easier to distract myself or shove it aside or let it go and stop feeling bad about it.

Sure would be really nice if I wasn't "let down" so often. XD

But in this case, it's just a fact of life.

Nothing to be done about it.

Also, our house is eating stuff.
