disbelief don't go back now; it's the reason I hate myself these days.

Do exercise.

Exercise releases the serotonin comfort your looking for along with other endorphines and oestrogen, which will make you hornier. So it's all good. Fucking do it! I do.

I go to Amsterdam, stay over at Herman's, eat croissants, go on long hikes.

cool

I had Alun over this weekend and I just burned my ENRTIRE Prince collection onto seven back-up DVD's.

What I love best is that he does not understand how much stuff is on the dvd'd, he is so lovingly computer illiterate he will only find out when he is going to browse them on his laptop at home.

designing and sewing something luxurious while playing the stereo really loud! Prince is always in the mix but Annie Lennox is great for sparking my head.
Do not fear to be eccentric in opinion, for every opinion now accepted was once eccentric.

Herman, I have decided right now, that what I want more than anything in the world is to come see you.
I will stay in my lego room and we will play all the livelong day.

Drunken posting on the org is fun!

When I originally read the title to this thread I read it as pick up line and was gonna say my fav:

"Did you fall from the sky? Because I just shot some idiot up in the sky and you look like them."

The Lego room is ready to be deployed. I of course had a major moving furniture period two days before Alun arrived.

A new toystore in a city near me has a big sale, so lots of Lego's. They also have the Lego Star Destroyer. GRRR

Do they have girls lego? When I was young I got all kinds of summer villas and houses, and my niece really loves lego, but here in the shops in the uk, all the lego is aimed for boys and just stoopid kits like to make a robot or cars and stuff, but when you ahve made that, you cant reallly adapt to make anything much else... sad

The only thing that really picks me up is walking through the fields or in woods. I need to be with nature.

So over the last few days I've been slipping back into old habits. The beginning of my seasonal affective disorder kicking in full force, I think I've been looking for comfort.
Trouble is, I'm not finding it where I thought I would. I made myself a platter of junk food last night for dinner. And it tasted awful and made me feel sick.
So tonight I decided I'd try smoking again. So I just walked to the store and bought a pack of cigarettes. After a few puffs, I was utterly disgusted. It made me feel dizzy and nauseous. Put it out, and came inside.

sigh

I suppose (ok, I know) it's for the best. It just feels like I don't have anything left.


So what do you do? Where do you find your comfort? What do you do when the old tricks aren't working anymore?



Treat yourself to an indulgent, but healthier activity as a substitute.

If you don't already belong to a gym, buy a day pass to a really luxurious one (usually $10-$20). Or if you live in a larger city, check to see if there are sauna houses available like The Turkish Bath House in Miami Beach....those places are awesome and have a zillion steam rooms, hot and cold water therapy, some rooms w aromathery and deck chairs or relaxing room for reading. Sometimes a pool...

...but if only a gym's available you can sweat your troubles out in a regular sauna. Maybe go hit the treadmill first, with your headphones and favorite music playing that expresses all the brou-haha running through your mind and bothering you lately. Whatever the feelings are. Just choose music that's honestly expressing how you feel and watch your self sort of walk your troubles off for maybe a solid hour. Your legs will feel like jelly afterwards, but you'll adjust. After that, hit the steam room and sweat all those yuchy physical (and a few emotional !) toxins out of your body.

Afterwards go home indulge in takeout of some miso soup or a nice bowl of brothy noodles, or maybe a premade food treat from your local Wild Oats/Whole Foods or other health market. If you don't want to spend too much money on takeout, then honey, you'd be surprised how well a pack of Ramen Noodles clean up when you add fresh ginger, a chopped scallion, fresh cilantro, and an egg/chopped chiken breast. If you're the spicy type then add a pinch of red pepper flakes or a tiny bit of sliced red chili.

Then put an uplifting or your favorite movie in your DVD, sit your ass down with a pot of hot tea (non-caffeine) and lull yourself to sleep afterwards
cool. Be careful with too much caffeine intake because not only does it get people revved up and prone to reach for things to calm down, but it's also an appetite stimulant. Now might be a good time to switch to herbal tea, and I've heard that they've started selling Rooibos tea in the US now. Rooibus is an African tea with neat health benefits (anti nervousness, anti-constipation, anti-colloc, anti-oxidant) without caffeine. If you're a coffee drinker, you could always switch to CARO coffee, made from wheat, and I think distributed at home by the Nestlé company...hope this sounds interesting cool!
