Fun Times
Dear Self,
Tonight was fun. Chiari came over and took me to the LR Reservoir again. This time we parked right where the trail leading to the cliffs was. But to our slight disappointment, after hiking for a good hour or so, we came up short of our much sought after destination. We got good exercise, though. Then we found a nice comfortable spot to cool off, when we finally exited the trail. We spent some quality time feeding the geese; they were everywhere! Turns out they like their carbs. We do too-but not in the stale pretzle rod kind of way. Moreso, we were just feeling hungry after the hike. So we went to my house and came up with an awesome smoothie concoction. We started out with lots of ice, strawberry-banana yogurt, and vanilla yogurt. Then we added a banana, lots of strawberries, two dole pineapple fruit cups, some vanilla soy milk, peeled green grapes, another thing of vanilla yogurt, and a couple handfuls of blueberries. It was delectable. Plus, we had so much, we were able to freeze up two glasses for leftovers. That shall be a nice refreshing snack for tomorrow.
After the refreshment, we migrated to my bedroom, where we proceeded to make jewelry creations. She finally finished my personalized charm necklace, in addition to a nice costume-jewelry type collar-bone choker, and a beachy anklet. Sooo pretty! Chiari is so talented!! Can't thank her enough. Anyways... after the jewelry dabbling, we decided to get out some aggression and creative energy by melting crayons and letting them drip onto lined paper in my journal. I loved the results. After we peeled off the dried crayon wax, there were beautiful spot stains dancing around the paper in brilliant hues. And if that doesn't fascinate you, I'm sure the pyromaniacs would get a kick out of the flame of the lighter torching the crayon.
Cover songs, funny renditions, and Harry Potter Puppet shows on YouTube ended the night on a humorous light-hearted tone. Oh how I needed that. It's like therapy whenever we chill because we both went through EDs and OCD. And we know how hard it can be when it seems like we're suffering alone or stuck in a rut of negativity. It is refreshing to have a friend who can relate to me and burst my dark cloud.
