Self-care

What a great day of self-care!  That's the term my shrink always used to describe the things I should be doing regularly to take care of myself.  When you get right down to it, there is a lot of time spent solely on existence maintenance.  I think care of self takes it a step above maintenance.

Today was all about that.  I had just gotten tired of not getting enough or good sleep at night (and no naps either, boo!) and not staying on top of taking pain killers and everything else that was making me feel crappy.  Thus, a truly fantastic day was born.

I spent quality time on a pedicure, watching The Simpsons, making more peppermint ice tea, hanging out with my family (including talking cinema and physics with my dad), and chilling with my doggies.  I ate a ton of watermelon and raspberries.  Now I am so tired and ready for sleeping.  I've even perfected a new sleepy-time playlist.

PS The picture above is of my "pedicure/sock compromise" for my dad.  A bit of an inside joke.  But you can see my awesome summer flip-flops tan line!
