jacob,
looks like we used two of the same tools in our going up exercises. I can relate to you when you speak about focusing on the physical and mental benefits of exercise and not just looking at the numbers on the scale. After a long period of not exercising regularly,I'm pretty satisfied with the benefits of increased energy since I began to exercise again and how that energy works it's way into every aspect of my life.
While we both used music to change our moods for the better it seems that you were attempting to calm your nerves while I used music as a motivator for exercising. I'm constantly amazed at the power that music has to change one's mood or bring them back to a particular time in their lives in a flash. You're lucky you can listen to music at work!
I have to give you credit on helping your friend with his move, especially seeing that he wasn't really prepared. Situations such as that are really what we make of them and by making the best of the move it sounds like you were actually able to enjoy yourself. I'm sure your friend was grateful for all that you did for him too. The last time i moved a friend of mine took charge and really hauled ass. i didn't know she had it in her and i'm completely grateful to this day.
