nonsense

It's been a long couple of days.  This is the first I've felt somewhat normal since Monday.

Tuesday was doctor day, long trip each way, then errands and home.  He's given me a new med to try.  I started it Tuesday evening and have felt pretty much a zombie until a few little bit ago.  I could barely hold my eyes open and have slept most of two days away.  I'm to try this drug for 4 weeks and if no change in my headaches, he gave me another prescription that I'm to start.  I'll also be having a new MRI run in two weeks.  My last was in 2013 so he wants to see if there are any changes.

We've had several days of late afternoon/early evening rainstorms, recently.  I went out Tuesday (or maybe it was Monday) after one of them and snapped a few photos.  I love the red veins that show on the mum in the bottom photo.  

I've missed out on the Perseids.  I'm hoping to be able to try tonight to see if they can be seen.  I hope I'm not too late.

Tomorrow is the new moon and I'm looking forward to doing a bit of work.  The last month I've been remembering who and what I am and doing the work that needs to be done.  When I do, I feel like I fit in my skin again.  For so long I've felt apart from myself, as if I didn't really belong in my body.  That feeling is leaving now, a little at a time.  If I persevere I know I'll get where I need to be when I should.

Well, I hope everyone is having a wonderful week.  Do you have any big plans for the New Moon?

New

 The new year is upon us.  I've started a new page in my health book with my goals for this coming year.  Health is the word I initially chose to be my focus for 2014 but I've since revised it to Healthy.  I've spent the past several years focusing on my health but not in a positive way.  I think Healthy lends itself to positivity, so there.

 I started planting my seeds for this new year last night.  I thought alot about what I hope to do and accomplish and be in 2014.  I experimented with a new way of journaling (video) and I watched an artist that I admire as she shared with us live how she creates a painting.  It was fascinating to watch. 

 I did my health check in this morning when I woke and have been conscious all day of what I'm eating and drinking.  I've spoken to the New Moon and set my intentions for the year deep in her soil.  Now I need to tend them with love all year long and see what grows.

My weekly planner is ready for the year with birthdays, anniversaries and feast days marked.  I have gesso on my fingers and on a canvas I'm re-working.  I have a list of things to pick up at the grocers tomorrow that I hope will help with some cravings.  Yes, I'm already having cravings.  They do say sugar is the hardest addiction to break.  Wish me luck!  

I'm craving hot cocoa.  I have milk and cocoa but the only sweetener I have is honey.  I'm not sure how that would work.  I might give it a go.  

I'm off to play with gesso and paint.  I hope you are having a wonderful day and that you have planted your seeds and are ready to help them grow.

ps...I think I've mentioned I'm going gluten and sugar free.  This is my last thing that I can think of to try to help relieve the pain of the chronic headaches.  If you are gluten and/or sugar free, I'd love to hear how you do it.  What type of sweeteners you use, recipes, etc.



 

B is for ...

Butterfly. Here are a few photos of butterflies that I found in my mum's garden. I don't get many in mine. I suppose I don't have enough flowers. I hope to remedy that at some point.




The cooler weather is supposed to be coming to our area soon. I do so hope it will arrive, but what I would really like is rain. I heard tonight that our city has only 75 days before we will run out of water. I wonder what happens then.

Happy New Moon.
