On the milk, I've learned that (1) tryptophan and (2) calcium and (3) Vitamin D are _all_ supposed to do good things for one's mood. So self-medicating with milk works three different ways.<br /><br />Coca Cola, on the other hand, makes me twitchy. <br /><br />And I'm assuming that he doesn't eat the lizards?

People say that writing is supposed to help you sort out your feelings, but I've never had the inclination to remember them when they weren't what I was proud of. Glad to see someone else feels the same way I do. The idea of art as therapy is a touch overrated.<br /><br />As for the perfume thing, I don't wear perfume when I'm Joanhttp://www.scentsate.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5713094656031780936.post-79587827396885625312011-02-21T06:34:18.554-08:002011-02-21T06:34:18.554-08:00CF I'm with you - and I think that you're ...CF I'm with you - and I think that you're right w/the memory thing - not wanting to associate a perfume with being down in the dumps or stressed.

I was quite stressed on Saturday and only felt able to apply some late on in the day. So for me whether I can or can't wear scent is about mood rather than its memory-stirring potential.<br /><br />Mr B drinks an awful lot of milk now I think of it - about a litre a day. I wonder what is behind his particular dairy habit?Vanessahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11847145282522572183noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5713094656031780936.post-77852491239318480242011-02-20T12:20:57.134-08:002011-02-20T12:20:57.134-08:00Yo, Suzanne!

Whether the reality is better or worse, and whether I am highly tolerant or, un-perceived by myself, an equal offender, I can't say without a third party assessment. :)Marthahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06115821731964909442noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5713094656031780936.post-87315094760800417042011-02-20T12:15:11.985-08:002011-02-20T12:15:11.985-08:00Hey, Michael!

Going back to food, I'm fine with challenging food while grumpy - I might seek out something simple and comforting, but if someone offered me a food in the sharp or bitter or freaky family that I normally like, I'd eat it even while cranky. There must indeed be something quite different about perfume.Marthahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06115821731964909442noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5713094656031780936.post-74034596444203620322011-02-20T12:13:23.817-08:002011-02-20T12:13:23.817-08:00Hey, Ines!

Reality sometimes pushes me to write _a_ conversation, but it's rare that the real and the fictional conversations resemble each other in any specific detail. And in reality, I'm not all that calm. :)Marthahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06115821731964909442noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5713094656031780936.post-75348958031338925462011-02-20T10:18:55.049-08:002011-02-20T10:18:55.049-08:00Ines said precisely (and eloquently) what I was th...Ines said precisely (and eloquently) what I was thinking. Are those real conversations that you linked to from your other blog? Because if they are, you should be sainted, CF. Really, truly, I could not deal with that, no matter the blood ties.<br /><br />I can understand why you don't want to wear perfume just now -- and you don't have to.

When I'm stressed or busy I am far more likely not to wear perfume. In fact, the calmer and happier I feel, the easier it is for me to contemplate all things fragrant.
