batskeets | Learning to relax

So I'm trying to figure out how to make myself relax a bit more, so I'm not so crabby. It's really, really hard, because damnit, I have GOALS! And, as a sometimes-very-impatient person, I want to accomplish them Nownownow. Clearly, that's unrealistic, but that never seems to stop me from trying. XD

I'm taking it easier on training this week, which I have mixed feelings about, but as long as I do my wushu and weights, it'll be ok. I skipped Monday acro, after noticing that the thought of going there was less like Fun and more like a Thing I Must Do. That's no damned good for something that's supposed to be fun! Next week will be better. :)

I'm also attempting to take it a bit slower on the photo editing and such. My laptop was in the shop for a few days, and during those days, I'd occasionally have a mini-freakout because there were TFP shots I needed to edit. But, then I realized that it'd been like 2 weeks since those shoots, and I calmed down. Anything less than a month is a FAST turnaround for a TFP shoot, so I ought to take advantage of that, no?

Last night, Serafin put on some taped episodes of So You Think You Can Dance, so we fast-forwarded past the boring stuff, boggled at the really amazing performers, and laughed at the trainwrecks. I barely ever watch TV anymore, so it was actually nice. Certainly not in a Good TV kind of way, but definitely in an Easy Watching sort of way. :D

In other news, I checked on my Flickr page today, and when I looked at their, "now you know how to greet somebody in [foreign language]!" greeting, something there struck me as very wrong:
