Meds, myth and meetings

featherynscaleWell, I succeeded in not biting off anyone's crunchable head at the Ritual Teams Meeting last night. I suspect that this non-head-biting was aided by the fact that only 6 people were there. Not that I was particularly more inclined to crunch upon any of the people that were not there, or anything, it's just that the more people show up, the more unfocused the meeting gets, as a general rule.
The problem with Gaia meetings is that there are only twenty people that run *everything*, so we're all on seventeen different teams, committees, and task forces apiece, and people can't seem to focus on the particular task at hand. Last night, if I'd had a dollar for every time someone said "This is not a Communications committee meeting" or "That should be discussed your team's planning meeting" or whatever, I could have bought us all a beer.
Anyway, we all survived, and a couple of things actually got done.
After the meeting, I had an interesting conversation with![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
kittenpants about personal myth and how one's personal myth plays out in their day-to-day lives. There will probably be a post on that later.
Later,triadruid was as good as his word about sitting up with me, and we mostly watched "Vampire Hunter D: Bloodlust", which was exactly the thing I needed to get over my piss-ass mood and move on. Then he went to bed and I was up for another hour reading. So perhaps I had taken a full dose of meds yesterday and then another half-dose on top. On the other hand, I had to drag my sorry ass out of bed under protest this morning, so maybe I only had half a dose.
I hate it when the facts are no more clear after an experiment than before.

Gods, that was cheerful, wasn't it? :-P
Still a ray of f'ing sunshine, aren'tcha?
