I am taking Ms. Moon's advice and going to do something nice for myself. I did by some very nice and expensive hand lotion the other day. I am allergic to every smell in the world with the exception of lavender. This hand lotion is made locally and she only makes is under the full moon which I originally thought nonsense until I tried it. I have had severe eczema and this is the only stuff I can use on it. I can also use it on my over-washed nursing hands. It apparently works on all sorts of things. Here, check it out. http://www.aromacrystal.com Anyway, I digress. I am going to start doing some nice things for myself. I am not sure what yet because I have not done anything for just me for a very long time.
I see my grief counsellor today. She is wonderful. I truly love this woman. She could be out making $150.00 an hour but instead works for Hospice. She is one of my favourite people. I also think I am going to take advantage of a free counselling program through my workplace.
My dad's birthday is this weekend. I think I am going to go buy him a rechargeable 3 million candle power flashlight for when he is at his cabin. My mom made me promise I would look after him so this is a start. Maybe I will buy him some fishing stuff too. And long underware.
OK, I am going back to bed.
Bon Apetite.... and well done for doing things nice for yourself.
ReplyDeleteGOOD! Every day now. Every day. One little thing.
ReplyDeleteWhat a lovely idea to do something nice for just you :) I need to learn how to do that too. I'd be lost without my salt shaker, 4 months!
ReplyDeleteI usually get up at 5am for work during the week and am normally nauseaus at that hour so I always eat a hard boiled egg and drink a glass of Silk (vanilla, strawberry banana or peach mango). It seems one of the few things that won't make me any sicker. ;-)
ReplyDeleteYou go and do all you can think of for yourself. What a fabulous thing. You are so deserving of it you know, sweet Birdie.
As I type this the window of your comment box is side by side "The Ungrateful Bastard" who is quite adorable, in the shot that says, "I mock you." I keep getting distracted and have to chuckle at it. ;-)
Happy Thursday to you.
Nice to know you're doing something nice for yourself. And I'm glad you shared breakfast with us. :)
ReplyDeleteOH wonderful, I'm glad to hear you are a bit better today. The lotion sounds delightful. I love lavender.
ReplyDeletetake care of yourself and your father. i want to say, laugh at a movie or a foolish joke or a child, touch your face, smell your lavender hands, get a new salt shaker, but instead i say, how beautiful you are. always. honest. vulnerable. every one of us.

We lose salt shakers all the time, they usually end up under the couch. I am glad you are doing nice things for yourself - and also for your dad; it will help you both to feel better. You sound like a great daughter Birdie. I love lavender and jasmine, and lemon verbena, and peppermint, and oh the list is endless really, and the scents really do lift your spirits. Enjoy your weekend Birdie.
