I thought I'd type a few things while I wait for Jade to call and come home. It keeps me busy.
I managed to go through the entire day (so far) without talking to the in-laws. I left this afternoon to do a spot of shopping and get a hair cut and the I went to Curves. the shopping was nice and depressing all at once. I found some books for myself and others, then tried to find some clothes. The store I went into was one I've never shopped at before. Today I realised why. their cuts are strange. the jacket puffed out in the back and my arms swam in the sleeves no matter what size I tried on, and the skirt (NOT generously sized) was snug in the hips. I tried a size up (the numbers are mortifying so I'm not sharing) and it fit in the hips, but the waist was horribly loose.
It sucks being curvy. And there are woman out there trying to look like this?? *sigh* I'll just have to try another shopping mall. Maybe I'll go in town this weekend. Not WEM, though, I get a headache when I shop there. Kingsway, maybe.
Curves was fun, as usual. I don't know if anybody actually knows my name yet, but I'm definitely being recognised and acknowledged! It's a good feeling for somebody who went through life with a natural cloaking device. (Don't laugh; I've had teachers admit that they forgot I was in the class until I made a noise of some sort.)
I've been having a lot of trouble with dry air. I thought it was just the house, but I'm starting to think it's actually me. When I pet the cat, I can feel the shocks grounding themselves into my body from his feet. I am constantly shocking myself on the vehicle doors when I do to close them. I'm starting to wonder if I should ground myself before touching the computer. I remember the old keyboards that actually had a metal disk on them wired to a metal leg on the desk. You had to touch that before you touched the computer to ground yourself and get rid of static shock or you could damage the computer. Damn, I miss those days. Some of those schools were nice.
I wonder if a magnetic bracelet or something would help?
Princess Mum has suggested a Personage to me who will help me with certain aspects of my Life. She says that he does readings and can tell you your spirit guide's name and your animal guide's shape. I'm a little unsure about that. In some cultures, telling somebody about your spirit guide is an insult to your guide. they are supposed to be just for you. On the other hand, there are some that seem to thrive on publicity. I'm thinking of going to see this guy. PM says that he does readings over the phone too, but I find that harder to swallow. If I wanted a phone reading, I'd call a Psychic Hotline. Not that I think it's impossible, I just prefer to make these things more personal and I happen to think that eye contact and body language is very important. Especially for me. Very few people can interpret my words properly and in context if it's not said in person. Heck, there are a few that can't even do that. One of my friends has described my personality as difficult. I'm hoping she means 'complex', since she's still my friend. I have another friend who not only agrees with her, but admits that that is WHY we are friends. He thinks I'm interesting in my complexity. I guess one man's insanity is another man's genius.
"You are a child's PLAYTHING!"
The book that I actually bought for myself was a spur of the moment buy. That's actually rare for me, but the price helped. ;) Empowering Your Life with Natural Magic by Sirona Knight. It was the only book of it's kind in the large display and it really snagged my attention. I kept coming back to it. The last name of the author meant something special to me. The sale price was dramatically affordable, and the description looked reasonable. I went in looking for the Warrior Series novels. I came out with this. Go figure.
I can't wait to get to HH for my next pick up! My D&D shirts are FINALLY in! MWAHAHAHAHA! I can't wait to show them to Greywhistle and Naomi!! If I ever get the chance.
By the way, I've been reminded recently that I forgot to write about something that I meant to write about earlier. On Jade's birthday, we had appointments with a massage therapist. None other than Princess Mum, Shorty's mother. She came out to our place and performed her magic in my living room. It was nothing short of fabulous. I had instant relief with my shoulder and Jade's back felt ever so much better. We are definitely going to make further appointments with her. The next one will probably be for MY birthday this time. Our schedule is pretty full until then. A wedding out of town, a golf tourney, a garage sale ... So it's going to have to wait for June. Hopefully, I'll have settled for myself what I want to do with myself. I still haven't written Dragonlady yet. I'll have to make sure that I get this done soon. Or I can bite the bullet and see her when I'm in Calgary next weekend.
Makes me wanna throw up just thinking about it.
Stupid images ... they are supposed to be down here. Stupid 'Blogger. Bah! and it keeps changing the spacing in my entry too, every time I try to add them. What a pain. Next time I'll upload the images and then write around them! Less painful! Anyway, these are a couple of avatars I found that I liked. There are others, but I'm through playing with these for this entry. I'll share more later, if you want to see them. One of these I got off a site, another I borrowed off of a mutual friendly acquaintance. I'm sure he won't mind.
And I know the perfect place to use it!! MWAHAHAHAHAHA!
The Shepherd knows. The Shepherd always knows ... (PS. It didn't work!! *weep*)
Sweet Dreams!
