Stress meme

[livejournal.com profile] ithilwen tagged me on the stress meme (and can you believe I accidentally deleted it first time round - cos that's not going to raise my blood pressure):

Things you enjoy, even when no one around you wants to go out and play. What lowers your stress/blood pressure/anxiety level? Make a list, post it to your journal, and tag five friends.


1. Reading all the Gregor and Laisa bits in the Vorkosigan books.

2. Tub-thumping by Chumbawumba: yes, I know that's quite specific, but turning this on really loud has reliably reduced fury/stress/anxiety on a number of occasions.

3. Talking to Mr A.

4. Cleaning the kitchen. Must.impose.order.on.CHAOS!!

5. In absolute direst need, not tried since the very darkest days of the doctorate: playing scales.



I won't tag because it might stress people. Meme at will.

I know pretty much nothing about ebooks, but I'm delighted you've found it in your preferred format. And glad you got a good version of the cover too, which I think is knockout. Hope you enjoy the rest of the book.

How interesting that it's easier for you on your eyes than a paperback, which I wouldn't have thought was the case (I tend to print out fanfic, for example, rather than read on screen, if I really want to concentrate on the read).


If I had one of those futuristic computers-in-your-pocket with eyeglasses monitor, I could read it while on the Stairmaster, and then my life would be complete.

Yes, that would be brilliant (exercise bike in my case).
