I awoke at 7:25 this morning. I was wide awake, and highly grumpy about that. All those muscles that were sore yesterday were still sore. And I still felt vaguely stressed. My brain started racing around to all the things that I should do today.
"If my body's going to keep me awake," I decided, "I'm not going to get out of bed. I'm just going to lay here and think about pleasant things."
That lasted for all of a minute, and then I awoke again at 11:00. And now I'm much more pleasant.
It's funny being done. Part of my head is racing to all the pleasant things I should do today. Start sewing! Go for a walk! Watch a movie! Find a fun book and read it! Call Brandy and play with webcams!
And then my brain also races to all those things I've been putting off: Do the laundry! Go and get an allergy shot! Return some library books!
For today, I choose pleasant. Okay, so I'll also do a load of laundry, because the current laundry state is getting ridiculous (it's the one chore I won't let Chris do, because I'm too particular). Thank you, to all of you, for your encouraging and sometimes scandalous comments along the way!

...I recommend pleasant (bonus Matt points to those who get this reference). And Maryanne chose pleasant! Yay!
You've earned a break, I think. It's good you're giving yourself sometime to relax. I deserve a break, too, and in a few minutes it begins. No more work until May 24th! Yay!
Have fun!
Thank you Harvey/Matt. Yay bonus Matt points! That was a good story.
