    short answer: yes.  Boosts the immune system considerably.  Conflict is bad.

    "Driving home I realized that the process of writing affords me little
     pleasure—none, most of the time; I write to read the finished product. But
     the process of painting soothes and delights me, and there is great
     contentment in the smell of it and the touch and visceral feedback of
     brush and water and paint and paper. It's like meditation, if meditation
     can be gleeful. If I write for cerebral pleasure, then I draw to remind
     myself that I live in a body, and that sometimes that is a blessing. "

    % my voice was in pretty decent shape, considering.
  ! still feeling down; overwhelmed
  * bed 11ish; snuggle

A mostly-ok day; got in some good practicing (AKA showing off, since Scott was there and hadn't heard any of the new stuff). I was a little surprised to find my voice operational for once.

I was still feeling down and overwhelmed in the evening, though, and didn't get much of anything done. We crashed early.

Lots of links under the cut.
