salixbabylon1) Communication really is the key to avoiding crankiness. Especially in person or voice, not text. Just being able to hear the warmth of someone's tone, the gladness that you've reconnected, the shared emotions that get so muted in text. Yes.
2) Nothing quite like the yeasty yummy smell of bread making. Although is it ever possible to eat just one serving of fresh-baked bread? Clearly I can't do this very often. (Also, thanks to someone's adjective choice in fanfic MANY years ago, I now cannot smell yeast without thinking of man-balls.)
3) Belly dance! Jingle jiggle jingle! I forgot how much I loved to dance, how it makes me almost laugh with delight to move through space, sinuous and free and fun. I am so glad to be doing this again, even if my body is sore and will have a steep incline to get back to where I was three years ago. Zagareet!
4) 2012 is the looking like a year of happy travel. So far I'm going to Orlando in February, New York in March, London in June, and maybe Provincetown in July. Good thing I asked for luggage for xmas!
5) I don't know if it's the full moon or what, but my brain is like a hamster on crack this week. I feel like I'm starting to fray apart after three days of a total inability to focus. I'm amused, though, that it turns out that with all that grief and loss last year, I programmed my brain to self-soothe with crocheting. So that's what I'll be doing tonight.
6) Writing original fiction is hard. I've got bits and pieces of the story I'm working on, but I'm so used to knowing all the details about my boys and their universe *first* that this is extra difficult for me. Also, I have no idea if anyone wants to read it - I lost most of my audience when I quit writing SPN, and I never really got into writing Inception fics... I miss fandom squee, but I don't have time for any non-job reading these days. Woe unto me. ;)
7) I wanted a seventh thing but I don't have on so I'm jut writing nonsense because I like 7 things better than 6. Yes.
