I have been slowly incorporating positive changes. I am an artist, I now have hair of an artist. About a month ago I saw a picture on the web of a woman with long hair similar color as mine with some multi colored strands. It was fabulous! I had to have my hair that way! I don't typically spend money on my hair...My partner cuts my hair for me, a nice layered do that helps keep my length without the full weight on my head, I color with Revlon colorsilk, and usually wear my hair in a ponytail or single braid to work...or up in a clipped bun when cooking, sewing or doing any project where hair in my face is going to aggravate me. So why not have some "jazzy"? I know that when I am ready to stop coloring and let my hair be white..(which I'm pretty sure it is) I will be coloring my hair periwinkle, blue, pink...any fun color. WooHoo!!!
I went to the Dr on Thursday (routine) After a lengthy (almost 2 hours) visit, I left with exercises and a cortisone shot in my shoulder. It feels pretty good right now, so I am going to incorporate those exercises into my day to prevent frozen shoulder. Additionally, the breakouts on my neck (which I thought was from the oil at work contact) is a bacterial crud, so I have some meds for that too. And then there is my weight... I learned that I need FAR FAR less calories than I thought to safely lose these blasted pounds...So Now I modify my intake. and my out put. also scheduling my overdue mammogram ...and (I dread because I will need to use a vacation day) the colonoscopy.
I have been madly in LOVE with the idea of a tiny house. The tiny house movement appeals to me on so many levels. I love the idea of reducing 'stuff' and spending money and time on living and giving, vs care and upkeep. My partner is invested in this too. I am collecting photos for space saving furniture and storage designs and reading everything about the tiny house movement. I am generating a scrapbook/layout of our dream home. We have been actively purging clothing and other items not needed or wanted. Reduce! Not to organize...To minimize. The whole Use it up, wear it out, make it do or do without is becoming my mantra...but mostly just minimize! Moving things forward. So many things purchased 10 to 30 years ago are made better than the items for sale today... The Apple Festival is in October so I will send pants and shirts toward the scarecrow projects for customers to enjoy. All others will go to the salvation army, 100 nights shelter or other organization needed what I have.
Laundry calls...
