Taggage

[sister_luck]

chrissie_linnit has this question for me:

Things you enjoy, not because you have to but because you want to, even when no one around you wants to go out and play. What lowers your stress/blood pressure/anxiety level? Make a list, post it to your journal... and then tag five friends and ask them to post it to theirs.


Reading for pleasure: anything and everything. It can be the newspaper, a (crime) novel or just the videotext.

A long leisurely shower and then applying some bodylotion and other grooming activities.

Cuddles, hugs etc.

Listening to music and daydreaming and doodling.


And a weird story I forgot to tell yesterday:

I'm not the most organised person in the world. For some reason the weirdo at our hostel thought I looked the least threatening of all the teachers and trusted me with the keys to the place. One key fit the lock on the gates and the other the communal meeting space. I was supposed to lock the gates at night.
The night we had the run-in with said weirdo I convinced myself that I'd lost the keys. I only realized this after my colleagues had gone to bed. I had given the keys to some pupils earlier, but they were sure they had given them back to me. I got increasingly frantic and started panicking - trying to find the keys in the dark on the rather uncut lawns and in other places. I got so worried that I fell apart and ran around the place sobbing my heart out. I called the boyfriend who managed to calm me down. I resigned myself to getting up at four in the morning to start looking by the light of dawn. I finally crawled onto my bed and guess what was lying on my duvet?

And a quote from one of the students why they thought the food was bad: "At breakfast they served the cheese with a couple of lettuce leaves. Yuck."

Aww poor you...

Once I walked the streets of London looking for ferry tickets.
They were also lying on the bed in our hotel room.

ROTFLMAO

I'm so sorry Sis... I snorted with laughter when I read that! It's just the sort of thing I'd be likely to do...

But, I do know what that hollow feeling in the pit of your stomach is like when you realise (incorrectly as it turned out for you this time), that you buggered things up BIG time.

Never mind... the adrenalin rush was good cardiovascular therapy. *wipes tears from eyes and hugs sis in sympathy*
