Tools for bringing calm.

Organization and writing letters are good ways for me to bring calm. Yesterday, I got a new (old) register for my checkbook, as I’d filled the last one up. I updated the new one and balanced the checkbook, which always makes me feel good. Then, I put away the gargantuan amount of laundry that I’d done just before the weekend. Hung up clothes, folded them, put them away in drawers. After that, I went through a lot of my mail. I tossed the trash, and took stock of my bill situation. My bill situation is actually good. That was a good feeling, for sure.

Then I started a letter to . I finished it this morning, so it should go out in the mail today or tomorrow. I should really find the outgoing mail here in the office. Anyway, starting the letter and watching West Wing finished my calm, and I ended up getting a pretty good night’s sleep.

I can’t even shower for 15 minutes before the water heater craps out on me. Argh. At least I was able to sleep in for about a half an hour, as my Dad is out of town on a business trip. 10:30 to 5:30. I’m so old. :)

I think I’m going to pick that Jyhad vs. McWorld book up again, as I can only refresh my friends page so often before I go nutty.
