Now, I have slothed a great deal but mostly as a naughtiness or indulgence that would be better served by doing other obligations. The exceptions are when the abject pain of my cramps forced my lying down as I could do nothing else despite my strongest will and or an illness, which I am happy to report are so infrequent the last time I recall having even as much as a cold was 8 years ago.<BR/><BR/>When I read someone's blog and they are being hard on themselves for not doing enough I want to shout at them to enjoy the moment and not add so much unnecessary hardship by attaching self-judgment onto their choice to rest. I swear I do feel that way. But-- writing these comments back and forth with you have shown me that I'd doing the same foolhardy foolish folly, without knowing how to change how I feel.

Just because the meaningless punishment is going away don't take away the rewards too! Why are people so mean to themselves and everyone around them like that? There's nothing more cruel than a self-effacing person. As the Beatles said, "Don't you know that it's the fool who plays it cool by making his world a little colder?" Ok... slightly different, but similar.Darkmattershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15410415900992364189noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25158433.post-1161133119956009352006-10-17T17:58:00.000-07:002006-10-17T17:58:00.000-07:00That ith tho thweet, Mike, thankx!

First time I "missed an appointment"--if you know what I mean. Went to a doctor's appointment today and he gave me a pregger test to make sure I weren't none. I taint. Didn't think so--too ol' now. So it's likely just my change of life fixin' to happen one day. Sigh. My whores still moan and wail and make me intense, difficult, and/or blue as usual. When I do finally stop with my ladies troubles, I will miss the totally *ok* flops on the couch with treats and movies, as that was the only time it was ok with me to do that. I still do that--but it isn't *ok*.
