tonight...i relaxed.

One of my most beloved ways to unwind:

It just makes me so happy.  I have been oddly secluded as of late. I do realize that I could probably make time to be more social, but I am completely exhausted from everyday life!  Yesterday, however, after much convincing, my good friend Scott was able to persuade me to go out on a long overdue S and B night.  This was us last year:

 Tonight was the Jazz v. Bulls game. Neither teams were really all that spectacular (except for a few amazing blocks...but the 11/21 free throws? ew).  Yet, I had SO much fun. I relaxed. I was in my element. We talked, laughed, shouted, and just sat. I ate nachos, I forgot about my jerk boss, I didn't think about homework, I didn't worry about the gym, I just had fun. We did lose the game (barely) but it was an exciting one. I hadn't yelled like that in a while.  It felt damn good (maybe there were subconsciously some other emotional frustrations being secreted...).

We sat 6 rows behind the team. I had never sat there before and it was exhilarating!!  I had never been that close to the entire team and staff. I have sat closer in the past, but never near the team. They are all so...big. 

It was exactly the diversion that I needed. And now it is after 11 PM, I still have to do my laundry, do my chem homework and be up by 5:30 AM.  Cool.

But it is amazing what a little bit of good company, entertainment and laughter can do for your overall wellness. Thanks, for reminding me to chill out, scotty :).
