Disappointed When Not Disappointed

Grudges and grievances. I have been reflecting rather unhappily on the sad recognition that sometimes (only sometimes!) when things don’t go as badly as expected, I am disappointed. That strikes me as mad, but there is no avoiding the fact that it does happen.

Evil Weevil

For the first time in ages I am actually enthusiastic about something.
