Mentally Stimulated in Current Events

I don’t like to let my social anxiety win. The bonfire last night was a swell time. Adam invited a bunch of us from work. I finally got to meet Adam’s fiance. Varion showed up as well. He used to work at our store. He is big brain energy. We’ve only ever had casual interactions but last night I finally got to have a conversation with someone that could keep up with me. Actually, with someone who challenged me. He would correct me when I used a word wrong, almost get hung up on it. It was very that but it was okay. I was trying to find ways to make what I was saying palatable for him. At one point I was attempting to use Venn Diagrams for him, lol.

I was talking about astrology but just from a scientific standpoint. Also I brought up the science of light which is what the Bible teaches. We rumbled back and forth with my ideas. He wants substance, something you can touch and see and quantify, so to speak. What I study, on my free time, requires the use logic and reason to deduce that something is there. He looks at matter as material and I look at the energies that make it so. I think he was fascinated because nobody ever brings it down to earth for people like him so he really wanted to pick my brain. He is a Virgo, I am a Capricorn/Taurus Rising. Earth signs prefer things to be practical. The way this ancient information is presented in the mainstream is very unpalatable. The way my brain works is that I reduce big ideas down to what they are.

Today is day 4 without coffee. So far, everything is still going good. I didn’t realize that we ran out of coffee so Toni has been slumming it with the instant coffee which I only used in various recipes. I’ll make sure I grab some when I do my shopping later.

I can feel my depression bubbling up to the surface again. I think this is because I quit coffee. I’ll push through it. I really want to make today as productive as possible.

Toni, my roommate, has been hiding in her room all weekend but so have I. She probably wants to laundry and I’m in her way. Our apartment has two bathrooms. Hers has the shower and my has the laundry machines. When I leave to run my errands she will jump on that for herself, I’m sure. I should get on with it then.
