Toot!

I could've sworn I wrote a more recent entry here. Something at least mildly positive? I guess it doesn't matter.

Today I've been thinking about the quality of leisure time, and the unexplored benefits of working. I generally have a lazy mindset, and think not working is always better than working, but in tracking my happiness and level of satisfaction this week, I discovered this is clearly not true. There is almost no correlation between how happy I am and whether or not I'm working, so I've decided to spend my free time in better ways. Today I practiced playing a small trumpet, and sang a bit with full stomach extended and some head voice power that I normally hide in my memories. I also danced for a bit. It turns out I have plenty of energy left after a day at work, as long as I don't immediately fall into the couch with remote and beer in hand. I think it's fine to do that sometimes, but not every weekday. Today I give myself the gift of an hour or two of totally awesome fun things first, before romancing the couch.

Actually, I've been so distracted by the super awesome fun times that I forgot to eat dinner. So hungry. To think that I could forget about a meal. That almost never happens. Maybe my goal should be to have such fun times that I stop thinking about what I'm eating and when my next meal is.

Literature mentioning aspects of introversion has entered my life from 3 different angles today. So I'm thinking about that too. although, not this very moment, because I'm too hungry. Enough computer! Chop chop.
