"Once I was beautiful. Now I am myself." Anne Sexton

Day 35 - Weight 116.6

OK. Today was a getting back to normal kind of day. The realities of the last few days are still real. But now we stop crying and handle the tasks that day-to-day life brings. Barely a hint of a headache still holding on at the base of my skull. Cleaning, and laundry, and grocery shopping to do. Bills to pay - thank god for online banking! The world does not stop when you are experiencing a personal crisis. So, take a day or two off, have a good cry, and then get up and get movin.' This strategy doesn't take away the problems. They are still there and they will have to be dealt with. It's like a Southern California coastal "June-gloom" over your summer day except it's really over your life. No matter what happens or what you are doing, it's just kind of grey and a little bit blurry.

Smart thing to do? Go have a double treatment with Jann at Pura Vida Day Spa! Oh, yes, I did. Massage followed by facial followed by no more headache. Thank you, Jann!!!! She's so fabulous. Everyone should have one! :-) LOL! The rest of my summer will be hectic, so I'm putting my membership on hold and I'll pick it back up in September. I'll definitely miss her but it's nice to look forward to something truly terrific, right?
