Soothing and Searching

Suddenly this summer, I rediscovered music. I'm not sure when or how or why my interest was sparked again. I am always into music, but generally, I listen to musical theatre and old stuff that I have had for a zillion years.  I'm pretty sure that "Glee" had something to do with it, but it is strange that it didn't really affect me until a few weeks ago instead of last year during the season.

I am discovering all kinds of music and people I'm surprised to be listening to - often, I don't know the name of the artist, but I'm enjoying the exploration.  On any given morning, rather than listening to politics, I am listening to my new-found radio station and rockin' on down the road.

Good clean fun!

Sensory Deprivation = Relaxation, Right?

A few years ago, if you had told me that I would be craving complete silence and detachment from everything - no music, no light, no talking, I would have laughed at you and inside I would have cringed because all of that seems so...not me.

Yesterday, I was thinking that sensory deprivation was sounding pretty good right about now.  I have that jangly, can't calm myself stress. It is just from not taking some time off in a while. I have had a couple of days here and there, but I haven't really DETACHED from the world this year.  I told someone that I thought a sensory deprivation tank like in "Altered States" without all the drugs and scariness sounded pretty good. Then, I opened up my email and there was a Living Social deal for a FLOAT SPA!!!

I'm a little scared of it, but I bought one...I'm going to try it.  They have one that isn't a pod with a lid and that sounds MUCH more appealing.  Seems like a crazy thing to do, but I'm not a massage person or a mani/pedi person.  I'm thinking that 90 minutes of total relaxation could do me a WORLD of good. If I don't like it, I don't have to do it again. If I like it, they have like memberships. I am imagining that I have a date with the spa on Fridays after work or something.

I'll report back at a later date. I'm hoping it will be sans jangly nerves and eye twitches.

Days off Are Good

Ah...I got up early, but then I went back to sleep for a little while. It was really nice to have the luxury.  I do hope to do some art or something useful today. Maybe I will watch a movie. Or not. :)

P.S. Watched this video and am inspired anew. I'm a little afraid of spray inks, but I think that's where I'm heading...
