What makes you crazy and Happy and giddy?
I don't sleep very well. I've been a light sleeper since my immune system "got the wrong message" from my brain and started attacking my thyroid.
Since then, trying to fall asleep even though I'm absolutely exhausted is hard and harder when I'm stressed. And sometimes, I'm reluctant to fall asleep because thoughts are buzzing in my head and I want to contemplate them all.
So it starts a vivious cycle where I sleep for 4 hours a day and try to live my life and not get sick with that little sleep. So I drink more caffeine and the cycle goes on.
It has been alot better since the move to the new job though- I am able to get an hour more sleep. but does that also mean I sleep an hour later every day. I don't know.
Anyway, so sometimes I sit here and I forget that there's more than just layers of fog in front of me. but today I decided to cheer self up by reading uplifting blogs. =)
Keri Smith always writes to try and motivate, so i went to her site
(i wanted to see her drawings too - I'm someone who can have excellent visions of beautiful drawings but my hands are not able to draw what i see in my mind's eye)
Anyway, she had a list of things that made her crazy and happy and giddy. So I thought I'd make one too.
1. The warm sunshine on my skin that does not make me sweat.
2. Good Books
3. thoughtful poems.
4. a cute puppy who wants my attention.
5. good coffee in the morning.
6. abstract art that grabs my attention
7. Great finds at vintage/thrift stores
8. Crazy shoes.
9. shiny accessories
10. Music by Garbage.
11. letters from my family
12. emails written in broken english from my cousins in Burma
13. kindness shown by people.
14. good stories of Immigrants and their history.
15. when I see that an Asian American actually has a good role in a movie/ tv show.
16. talking to my friends on the phone or in person, etc.
17. talking to my family on the phone.
18. counting blue cars in traffic when I get stressed out at work and I lok at my window.
19. Getting my clients exactly what they want.
20. Knowing that one day, my family and I can be together, maybe in the same country. =)

Yay for happy things!
