I am in a particularly good mood today. Perhaps it’s this crazy weather, but it also has to do with the fact that I just came home from the dentist.  I was in a good mood the last time I came home from a checkup.

for the most part, my appointments have gone quicker and easier than expected, but there’s something else that I like about the dentist. As I sit there in the chair with nothing to do, I just focus on my breathing and relaxation. This sort of forced relaxed is why I like some roller coasters/carnival rides. There’s nothing I can do in the situation. You sit still until it’s over, so you might as well relax.

In some ways, I’ve spent the last week doing the same. I guess I’m the kind of person who comes down with a terrible cold in the middle of July. My head wasn’t in the game, so I definitely took it easy when it came to work. I did what I could,  but I wasn’t writing as much as usual.

To be honest? I needed that. I spent a lot of time sleeping to feel better (I’m still not back at 100%). I stayed home and watched a ton of Stargate: SG-1. And I didn’t feel amazing, but I certainly felt less anxious.

That’s why I’m writing this. Because I have nothing else to do ( Okay, I should be writing a few reviews). I don’t have to be writing this. So I feel more inspiration to write a blog post, even if I’m only telling you that I’m a freak who likes the dentist and being sick. LOL

It’s no big secret that I suck as relaxing and I as doing my fair share of being anxious last night as my cousin and I hit the fair. I didn’t reaally want to go but once we did and were on the rides, I had a lot of fun. It’s hard to think about how tired you are when you’re whipping around, moving back and forth or in giant circles. Adrenaline just takes over.

Although I wasn’t sure if I wanted to go on the Ring of Fire–although I’d been on it before-we climbed in. The design ensures that you pause upside down at some points and it was during these points that I felt immensely relaxed. After all, there is NO use trying to think about anything else when you’re upside down; it’s not like you can do anything about it. And everything is literally out of your control. Either the ride returns to normal and you go on with your life and it doesn’t: you die. There’s nothing to do but surrender to the moment and surrender I did, peacefully quiet while others around me screamed (or sobbed).

Yea, I’m like that.
