In a week, I'll be heading home for Christmas - hurrah!!! It'll be nice to spend time with my daughter and visit with friends - and have no contact with NFOO. My life is so much calmer without WWW, the Flying Monkeys and the MW. My sister-in-law forwarded an email from the MW - very saccarine, take-care-of-yourselves on the anniversary of Nmother's death (Not - "I'm going to see this grief counselor" but "You might want to see the grief counselor " - she's above even grief!) I've asked SIL not to forward any other emails - these missives say so little and mean less, but are full of "wise advice" and mild admonishments - enough!!!! There's a reason that I'm NC with MW! And lots of other acronyms!!
I've been weaving a lot - it's so relaxing (except when I work with mohair) and I'm really enjoying it! Have some Christmas gifts to finish - I'll include some pictures after the holidays. Every day I learn more about this wonderful art - and get bolder with the yarns! It's so amazing not to hear the voice in my head that tells me that I'm not artistic, that I don't have a good sense of color, that I have no sense of style. I'm glad that voice has been silenced! I'm also working on taking better care of myself - also not strongly encouraged by Nmother. Tonight, I made a facial mask with some moistened red clay and when it was dry, I washed it off first with water and then with coconut oil - my face feels so good! The Whole 30 diet is so amazing- my skin feels better generally, my joints and muscles don't ache, I'm losing weight - what could be better? I get to do a lot of walking here - and I love it! I'm going to join a gym after the holidays- the walk to the gym alone should be a LOT of exercise - it's way at the top of a huge hill - and while you exercise, you can look out over the city - ah...
All in all, life is good. Tomorrow I weave, go out for lunch with a friend, and go to the doctor to get a prescription for my anxiety meds - I was a Girl Scout leader for years and know about being prepared!!!
