I haven’t posted in the last few weeks because I’ve been so darn busy! Work, volunteering, participating in events, and friends have taken up so much of my time that it has made for a stressful month for me. I’m usually a pretty healthy person (as in, I don’t get sick very often), but two days ago my body started giving up on me and I felt so tired for no reason. I started sneezing a lot which I thought was my allergies coming back. Then yesterday during work, my head felt really stuffy and I guess I was running a fever that broke sometime during work because I was drenched in sweat when I got home. Fun times. So the lesson here kids is to not get stressed out for too long cuz you’re basically inviting the germies in with a big dancing sign on the street corner.
Anyways, one of the things that helps me cope with stress is listening to music. Not just any music. Alvin and the Chipmunk songs actually make me more stressed. Anyone else have that problem? Maybe it’s just me…
Here are some of the albums/songs on my playlist now:
- Glee albums (my current fave show now that Lost is gone forever! *Sob*)
- Lady Gaga’s The Fame Monster
- The Killer’s Day & Age
- Kings of Leon’s Only By the Night
- “According to You” by Orianthi (for some reason I think of my ex when I hear this song. Just sayin’…)
- “Run” by Benton Paul (I was one of the people who got to weigh in on this guy’s work before it came out on iTunes. I like this song in particular.)
- “Melody” by Kate Earl (such a happy song and I think most of us can relate to the lyrics)
- “Change” and “Temporary Home” by Carrie Underwood (keeps me going when I’m disheartened about what I do and what I want to do)
- “Better in Time” by Leona Lewis
- “Hey, Soul Sister” by Train (loved this band from San Francisco ever since high school. Represent!)
Any recommendations for songs and albums that help when one needs a pick-me-up? And if you say “Single Ladies” from the Alvin and the Chipmunks: The Squeakquel album, I shall hunt you down and destroy you. Most of us have heard by now that “Asian vampires are the most vicious of all vampires”. Don’t tempt me.
. Rob and I went up to the City to hang out with our friends M & G and danced the night away. The only sad part was that M was sick so he had to go home early, but other than that it was one of the best parties I’ve ever been to.
