February 26, 2004 — Breathing...

... or not.

The last item on my 2004 Uber-To-Do List is "Remember to breathe." Sounds simple, right? Well, it's not. I can't tell you how many times in recent weeks I've been sitting at my desk and suddenly realize I'm not breathing. I'm holding my breath, and the only reason I snap out of it is because I've developed a headache, or I get dizzy, or whatever.

I know it's stress related, but the stress in my life ain't going away any time soon. That's just a fact. So what I need to do is figure out how I can remember to breathe. Ideas? Suggestions? Help!!

Heh.


You're the United Nations!
Most people think you're ineffective, but you are trying to completely save the world from itself, so there's always going to be a long way to go. You're always the one trying to get friends to talk to each other, enemies to talk to each other, anyone who can to just talk instead of beating each other about the head and torso.  Sometimes it works and sometimes it doesn't, and you get very schizophrenic as a result.  But your heart is in the right place, and sometimes also in New York.

One Good Thing

Fage Greek yogurt with honey.


 

Sciencegrrl told me about this stuff a coupla weeks back, and I've been anxious to try it. I finally did, and I am completely and totally HOOKED. It's got a wonderful, thick, custard-like consistency, and the yogurt itself is not at all sweet, which I LOVE. Add a few walnuts to the mix, and you have a thing of beauty. YUM.

One Good Thing

Okay, I suck. I said I was gonna do one every day, but I haven't. But I'm back on the One Good Thing wagon, and my good thing today is the very best good thing ever, in my book.
