- I watch movies or listen to music with the sound turned WAY up if I want.
- Clean house if I get an energy spurt. Somehow it’s hard to get anything done if someone else is in the house. I don’t know why, but it’s like they’re going to come in and watch me or get in my way.
- Cook something smelly, early in the day, so I can open the windows and air the place out. I am forbidden from cooking cabbage altogether. Actually, I don’t like lingering food smells either.
