random thursday night stuff
Jul. 9th, 2009 09:47 pm* my dad joined facebook today. GAH!!!! WORLDS COLLIDING!!!! no, he hasn't sent me a friend request yet.
* today was a perfect work-from-home day. i got in some kitty snorgling, i spent the day smelling the beautiful cool breeze coming in my windows instead of being sealed up in my office, and i got a TON of items checked off of my to-do list, including a couple of project pieces that i'd been putting off for a long time.
* in my effort to stop the horrible cycle of nights spent surfing the 'net with the TV on, i turned off the TV after dinner and spent the evening out on the deck. wow, i felt like i was on vacation! i put on some brazilian samba lounge-y music, and spent a couple of hours reading magazines while my laundry was in the dryer. it was lovely. why in the world don't i do that more often???
* because i still have stupid leftover issues from high school, i always have a major case of FOMS (Fear Of Missing Something). i constantly have to remind myself that there are a lot of people in my life, and that they are all allowed to have social goings-on outside of me. am i the only person pushing 40 who still gets a little pang when a friend tells them they did something awesome without them?
* i heart my chiropractor so much. in 2 sessions this week, he's been able to adjust me in such a way that i'm not waking up in the middle of the night with screaming neck and shoulder pain. i've been sleeping like a baby. still having the ongoing traveling to boston/can't find my car somewhere/late for something and can't get there dreams, but at least i'm snoring through them instead of waking up in agony.
