Perspective

The opera was, well... Mozart! Mellifluous, shimmering and compact.

I went to bed at a fairly decent hour on Friday night (I think it was around 2:00 AM?) and woke up at about 10:30 on Saturday morning, so I got a good night's sleep for once! My mom came and picked me up at nearly 1:00 PM, a little late, and complaining about traffic in the tunnel.

It was nice to be back at the opera-- a true harbinger of Fall, despite the nearly 90-degree weather!

Afterwards, she dropped me off at my place and I had a quiet night in. I talked to Pixie on the phone for a while (to hear the gossip about her date on Friday!) and then I talked to Liu on the phone for a really long time, which was awesome, because I miss her a lot and we haven't had a good chat in a while.

This morning the Time Warner people showed up to fix my intermittent Internet access and cable box problems. I really hope this takes care of everything once and for all.

I'm trying to decide what to do with myself today-- get started on my work, like I'm supposed to, or take an hour or two to clean my house first (it's reaching the unbearable point again).

In any case, I'm feeling a little more sane today, and yesterday too, I suppose. Perspective. Why is it so hard to come by?

Happy Sunday!

love,
h

How about doing a little of both? Start doing some of the work you need to do, then take a mental break and do some housework. When you've had enough or reach a good stopping point, get back to your other work, etc.

Breaks are a good thing, as long as we aren't talking about bones. *G*
