Waiting

Note: If this is your first time to TotalFluff, please visit this brief explanation. Thanks!

Greetings, readers. I bid you a joyous Wednesday.

It has come to my attention that waiting is something that many have trouble with. The term “waiting” can be applied both long-term and short-term.

In the long term, it can cause stress-symptoms to appear as it does, in fact, induce a fair amount of stress to wait for long periods of time. This is especially true if one knows that one is waiting for something, but might not be as certain about how that which one is waiting for will turn out.

Well… That was a bit confusing.

To what were you referring?

The paragraph up there…

Oh. I suppose that it might, possibly, not be as clear as I might hope. But it still mostly conveys the sentiment I am trying to show. That is, long-term waits can be stressful.

Short-term waiting can also be a bit stressful, but the level of stress between different lengths of time varies. Waiting two minutes to leave to go to the grocery store, for example, might not be as stressful as the three-and-a-half month long wait before starting a new phase of life.

In other words, I just spent approximately 200 words to indicate that waiting for the unknown might be stressful. I hope you appreciate my fluffing this post out to be approximately ten times as long as it could, possibly, have been.

I saw a Star Destroyer!!

Hello, Fluffsters! Happy Tuesday!

So, last night was fun. I got to see a real live Star Destroyer!

Wait, you something capable of destroying a star?

Well, kinda. Basically, it was made out of clouds…

Oh. You mean you saw a cool cloud formation.

Well, yes. But it looked like a Star Destroyer! I’m serious- just look at this!

The Star Destroyer is in the lower middle

I do not see anything of note…

Ok, I’ll isolate it for you.

A more focused look at the star destroyer cloud

A little less distractions…

Unfortunately, the pictures really don’t do it justice. But it seriously looked like a Star Destroyer. And it was really cool!

Anywho. I hope you have a good day!

Castle in the Clouds

Hello, Fluffsters!

The other day, I saw one of the prettiest cloud formations. It legitimately looked like a castle in the clouds.

Cloud Castle in a Sunset

It was also a very pretty sunset.

I wish that the picture had shown it a bit better, but I took this with my phone. So, yeah. It’s still a pretty picture!

Anywho, happy Monday!

Save the Dust Bunnies!!!

Fluffsters, we have a serious problem.

A serious problem.

A problem involving the extermination of an entire species.

I’m referring, of course, to the process of eliminating Dust Bunnies.

Yes, Fluffsters, we have a problem. So often, we are encouraged to clean our rooms, and get rid of all dust. But by so doing, are we not also removing an entire type of cute fluff from the world?

Is cleaning really a worthy goal?

With that, dear Fluffsters, I leave you. For I am afraid that I am moving soon, and must find a way to justify the preservation of Dust Bunnies. Happy Saturday.

Plant Names

Hi, Fluffsters! Happy Friday!

I just want to take this time to say, “I love my friends.”

One of my friends got a trio of pet potted plants. (Three plants within a single pot.) An aloe, to be precise.

Three miniature aloes in a pot.

3 mini aloes. I’m way zoomed in here.

Anywho. She decided to name them. And their names are:

  • Alison,
  • Alamo,
  • Aloha.

All their names were inspired by the word “aloe.” Isn’t that fun?

Anywho, have a great weekend!

More things to do when you’re down / stressed

Hi, Fluffsters!

Good news- I got my computer back! And it’s doing great! Ok, so I lost all my bookmarks. But there’s nothing else wrong with it.

But that’s beside the point.

Because here are some ways to de-stress or to get a little happier when you’re feeling down.

a) Go outside in an epic storm. First, though, make sure you’re wearing clothes you don’t mind getting wet. And follow safety procedures. But there’s something way too cool about being outside with all that raw elemental power around. It’s quite inspiring.

2) Listen to fantastic music. I’ve recently discovered another one of The Piano Guys’s pieces: Waterfall.

Isn’t it amazing? I’m so having trouble with the fact that he wrote that at age… 17. That. Is. Scary.

If you don’t want beautiful music, though, you could also just go with silly music.

The “cow in my soup” song instantly comes to mind…

I hope that helps!

Happy Thursday!

Interesting Article about Victorian Era

Greetings, Readers!

Today’s post is short. I am filling in for the Webmaster while she is busy today, but I do not want to write a lengthy post.

That is actually just as well, however, because I found an interesting article about myths concerning women from the Victorian Era.

I encourage you to read it.

Two Things to do when feeling Stressed

Note: If this is your first time to TotalFluff, please visit this brief explanation. Thanks!

Hi, Fluffsters! Happy Monday! I hope you had a good mother’s day yesterday, and I hope your week is starting off well.

I think that this is part of the year when much of my prime audience, those who are looking to procrastinate, are feeling stressed.

So, here are two things you can do when you’re feeling stressed.

1) Learn a fancy braid. The first time I was taking finals, I learned how to french braid my hair. That’s fun. Playing with hair is a great stress reliever. It’s kinda soothing, and it looks pretty, which also helps relieve stress. This primarily only works for women, though, since most guys a) don’t have long enough hair, and 2) wouldn’t want to french braid it anyways.

2) Learn how to pronounce long, impressive words. For example, I learned how to pronounce hippopotomonstrosesquippedaliophobia over a finals time. Isn’t that a great procrastination tool? It sticks with you, too. Kinda like learning to ride a bicycle.

I hope that helps, fluffsters! Here’s to not feeling stressed!
