I've had one of those days I don't get too often anymore...a day of just enjoying me. (Okay, it's only a bit past 5 PM, and that feeling may disappear, but we'll see.)

I'm making a concerted effort not to go crazy over things I haven't gotten done...vaccuming, getting the oil in the car changed, moving boxes, and taking pleasure in having gotten done what I did get done, namely polishing my toenails and lots of grocery shopping and making some lunches for the week.

I've done a lot of reading in the last couple of days...re-reading the Harry Potter books for some reason. They're familiar and comforting. I can get lost in them still, lose track of things.

Still going crazy with the MP3s. But it's nice to have them right here, no looking for the CDs that I want...and shuffle play is so easy...one track from this band, one from another. It's too easy. But it suits my mercurial temperment. I'm often a radio surfer when I drive because I can't stick with any one station too long.

On the music front-I've always been a big music fan...lots of variety. But lately, I've been really hearing the soundtrack of my life. What was going on that this or that song related to. Where did I hear this or that, why do I remember this song or that one. (The current song is from high school-junior year, when Andrea (who I lost touch with years ago) and I used to suffer though the worst math class I ever took. I think that's what ruined math for me even more than it already was.) Who played this or that artist for me...why did I love this song then? I wish I knew why music has so much meaning in my life. It just sticks.
