Self Nourishing Behavior

I didn't write in my blog as much for the past week. That's not to say that I didn't have anything going on in my brain. I just didn't want to use my blog as an outlet to freak out, as per normal. I decided to hide it within and see what would happen. At times, I do like to stew. I think part of the reason I like Massive Attack and the genre of music we used to call Trip Hop so much, is because, I like drama. I mean, I like to apply some pressure (to myself) and see what happens. Sometimes I watch depressing movies and sad music, just to make myself cry. Crying is cathartic and I'm a big fan.

This weekend started off with me getting sick. I think my body was run-down because I have been overloaded with non-stop activities for a long time now and my body needed to rest for a bit. Ordinarily, a few strong cocktails wouldn't do anything heinous to my tummy like it did this past Friday morning. I just needed to give myself permission to take a day off and veg. When I didn't go to work at my two jobs on Friday, I took the night off as well. I awoke Saturday morning completely rested, first long sleep I had had in a while. It was awesome! I woke up wanting to continue this self-nourishing so I got a great haircut, my eyebrows threaded and cleaned all my laundry. It felt so good to do these fairly basic things for myself. The rest of the weekend was spent relaxing and bonding with my best NYC girlfriend and with my cat. I actually made a myspace profile for said feline because I'm a crazy cat lady, but it turns out, a lot of people have myspace pages for their pets and many setup myspace pages for even stranger things. Let's call it a fan page for Tivo
