Being good to yourself.

[flaming_muse]

For personal reasons, I'm going rather stir-crazy today. I'm restless and frustrated, unable to concentrate. The thousand words I've written have been pulled out of me like taffy. (But hey, that's more than I'd thought I'd written! Go, me

I ate good food today - yogurt and string cheese and things I'd brought from home. Satisfying on lots of levels. And now I am savoring a glass of red wine, which feels like the height of indulgence. Yum.

That sounds lovely. :D

this post is just so sweet.

Aw, thanks! I try to make positive things out of negative things. Better to laugh than to cry! :D

Cold, cold, cold weather! I ran outside for a mere minute or two to start my car so the battery wouldn't die in this freakish cold, and I swear the little hairs in my nose froze in a matter of seconds. LOL. ;) I hope you're staying warm

Brr! I'm doing well in the weather, but it's not so extreme here. Heck, it was a balmy 16 degrees F when I took the museling to school today! Shorts weather compared to the last couple of days! :D

Oh, I love the idea of letting yourself dabble. There's so much that feeds us that comes from play, whatever play is to you. Enjoy being a flying fish! You'll sparkle in the sun! :)

I did have the chocolate and listen to Glee! I sang along in the car all the way to pick up the museling, too. :) And today I'm having yummy tea and putting my feet up for a bit before I tackle more of my responsibilities.

It's about 35 degrees right now. Practically Spring Break weather! (LOL.) Has it warmed up a bit for you as well

It's 50 here today! Positively tropical! :D Hope you're well, my favorite flying fish! It's easy to forget how to play. I'm glad you're giving yourself permission to re-learn.

Gosh, which part do I sing? It really depends on the song. I often sing along with Chris Colfer, though he can sing higher than I can (#contraltoproblems), or Lea Michele (ditto), although Darren often has some great harmonies and background riffs that I'll sing with him, like in "Call Me Maybe." Darren's range is a better match for mine, so I can really belt with him in a way I can't with Chris or Lea's high notes. Mostly I sing along with whatever part interests me the most that day, and I often switch around during the song because I don't have to share the lead and can sing them all. :D There are some I always sing, though: Kurt's parts in the "Happy Days/Get Happy" and "For Good" duets, Blaine's part in "Come What May," Isabelle's part in "At the Ballet," to name a few.

I'm sorry you had a frustrating day. Congratulations OH MY GOD, on a thousand words despite it!

[flaming_muse]

Thank you! <3

I love it when you remind me of the bright things in life. :)

I knew work would be brutal today (and followed by a three-hour dance rehearsal) so after reading your post in the morning, I stuffed my pockets with candy - definitely improved my and my coworker's day!

[flaming_muse]

Aw, thank you!

And candy sounds like a nice treat in the midst of such a long day! <3
