Seven Things
I am doing Seven Things every day as part of a Put My Life Together Iniative. (They are periodical. I started this one earlier this week after a week and a half of deep depression following my move to the new, lonely, quiet house.)
I am on my third day of successfully fulfilling all seven. We'll see how long I can keep them up. The trick is they aren't that demanding, given what I count as fulfilling them.
They are:
1) JOB SEARCH
one good, well-considered application suffices
2) READING
even twenty minutes of reading a novel suffices
3) EXERCISE
playing drums counts
4) COOK/EAT WELL
5) CALL/SEE SOMEONE
no sitting around all day without reaching out for friendly contact
6) WRITE
work on an actual project I am building up, drama or fiction
7) SUBMIT/REVIEW
i.e. stuff i've written; either submit it to a contest/publisher, or get a friend to review something - steps 6 and 7 are complimentary
Excitement!
In other news today I made mexicanish rice with serrano and habenero peppers. The hand I used to hold them while I diced them still burns - and I've washed it thrice.
