Fitting question given my day today.
The big one is sleep. If I can get a good night's sleep (or at least a nap), I find my anxiety lifts to a more bearable level. Otherwise, I try to find a puzzle or problem to solve or just generally anything that exercises enough of my brainpower to distract from my intrusive thoughts. At least for a while. If you had to choose, Cherry Coke or Cherry Pepsi? __________________ "I must not fear. Fear is the mind-killer. Fear is the little-death that brings total obliteration. I will face my fear.

I love cherry coke but haven't had it in 15 years because I gave up caffeine and it only comes in a caffeinated form.

I like sanpellegrino but not much of a fan of the new flavored waters that come in cans.

I tried sparkling water a few times, but I never could get into it.
Imagine you're a singer/songwriter/musician. What type of music are you performing? If you already do sing, write or play music, same question. __________________ "I must not fear.

I'd go with jazz because I like to play the trombone. I don't necessarily love jazz but I do love trombone.

It wasn’t the nicest theater but it had the most old world charm and atmosphere. It was an old theater near my off campus living way back in the late 70’s. The theater had been around for decades and had a faded grandee elegance that modern theaters lack. It played. Only foreign movies and that was another aspect I loved. I loved disappearing into its faded charm and the outside world would fade away replaced with foreign countries foreign languages, they were subtitled which allowed me to enter their world.
Do you watch foreign movies, why or why not? __________________ Nammu …Beyond a wholesome discipline, be gentle with yourself. You are a child of the universe no less than the trees and the stars; you have a right to be here. …... Desiderata Max Ehrmann |

Sometimes. It depends on the movie. The ones that stick out in my mind are Das Lieben Der Anderen (The Lives of Others, about a Stasi agent and the couple he was surveilling.) and Ballad of a Soldier (Russian film about a young soldier given leave to go home to his mother. Kind of a road trip movie in a war zone.). I find it fascinating to see stories that are particular to those countries.
Have you ever watched any of Anthony Bourdain's shows (No Reservations, Parts Unknown)? If so (or even if you haven't), what are your thoughts on the man? __________________ "I must not fear.

I very rarely got glimpses of his shows but what I saw of him, he seemed like a pretty cool guy and someone it would be interesting to know and hang with.

Definitely an ambivert. I require plenty of alone time, I'm not a phone person. But I also feel myself come alive when I'm with people, especially if there's music involved in some way. I'll say I'm 3/4 an introvert, 1/4 extrovert. I wish I could see online people as if they are IRL people.
Do you like Halloween? Any fun (or not so) memories, and are you celebrating or decorating this year? __________________ |

My favorite Halloween was one year at work the rehab team dressed up like Wizard of Oz. I was the lion. I've never actually seen the movie in its' entirety but we had a lot of fun. I think we also won a prize.

Ooh, you should watch the entire movie, Rainbow! Especially the unabridged version. It is such a strange, surrealistic film. Talk about Halloween! __________________ |

Beth, I know I"m a grown woman but I just remember being so scared of Wizard of Oz as a kid that I just don't have a desire to try. Maybe sometime my mom and I can watch. Goofy but I've had that with a lot of movies. I think I feel like I'm living in the movie and just get overwhelmed.
A: I like these grain packets that I get from Aldi's although other places carry them too. They have quinoa, wheatberries, brown rice and other whole grains. I dice up some avocado and put that on top and it's delicious. Q: Same one: What is your go-to easy but good meal? __________________ Bipolar 1, PTSD, GAD, OCD.

Oh, I so much understand that about movies @BeyondtheRainbow. And The Wizard of Oz IS scary! It's not supposed to be, but that movie is one freakin' creepster. Although I love when she sings Somewhere Over the Rainbow. Hey, that fits your name

Chicken or shrimp fajitas or spinach quesadillas. It comes together in a jiffy and who doesn't like Tex-Mex? I usually have what I need on hand for at least one of these options.

Cranberries and or relish or jelly. I dislike cranberries period no mater how they are made. But every thanksgiving and Christmas the family has to have them.

I used to like the leaves changing color when I lived farther north. They don't really change color in Texas. But I am happy with temps below 90 F, so I can actually go outside.
