Good morning, everyone!!!
I made it through yesterday, but man did it wear me out. I had no idea how much until I was sitting here at the house and all of the sudden I couldn't keep my eyes open. I went in, sat down on the couch to watch some tv, and then woke up three hours later to three missed phone calls and a text or two. I must have slept hard.
I'm back up this morning to work truck day and then it's two days off for this old lady :) Then work a day and off again for two more before my nine day stretch kicks in :)
I used to be a late late night writer. Then a few years back I went back into the work force outside my home and worked the time of night I used to write. Well, ever since then, it has been hard to find another writing time I can make a habit. Basically, because my best writing always came between 11 p.m. and 3 a.m. Then with NaNoWriMo last year and this year, I tried something a bit different, writing in the early mornings when I get up. It has really been helpful and does start my day off on the right foot :)
Yesterday I got in another 1k before I hit the shower. All through my shower my WIP was on my mind. Periodically, throughout the day yesterday the scene I was working on before I left was playing out in my head. It was refreshing and also a sign I just might be on the right track. I get up super early for work anyway so might as well use it to my advantage, right?!?
This is pretty much that time of day when I am completely alone even when hubby is home. So why not put it to good use?
I am feeling better each day, that is as long as I take my sinus meds. So that is a plus. I hope I caught this thing early enough to lick it before it beats me down.
A friend at work over the weekend and I discussed the healing qualities of Salt Lamps and oil diffusers. I told her I'm a huge fan of the Salt Lamps. I've been using one in my home for several months and have found the healing qualities of those to be amazing. I definitely want at least two more for my home, one for the living room and one for the bedroom :) I also believe in the healing qualities of essential oils, however, you need to know exactly which oil you need for what ailment for those to do you any good. So my advice on that is to do your research.
Salt Lamps, some people are skeptical while others swear by them. I personally, had no opinion on them when hubby got me one other than they were pretty. As time went on and I had this little lamp sitting on my kitchen table I started to notice a few things. I did have more energy, not right away, but as time went by. I know, not enough really to say, wow this thing works wonders. My blood pressure and anxiety all seemed to balance out, and for the last several months, I haven't needed either of those meds. My creativity has seemingly started coming much easier than it did before.
Should you run out and get one? That's totally up to you. Don't expect them to be miracle cures. Because they aren't. Nothing is. I spend a good deal of time trying to maintain balance in my daily life. I listen to my body more so than I ever did before. If I'm tired, I lay down. If I'm sick, I take medicine. I take my daily vitamins and this time of year I bump up my Vitamin C to four tablets a day seeing as I work with the public. I take my thyroid pill as prescribed and get blood work done on a regular basis to ensure I am on the right dosage for my thyroid pill seeing as I have no thyroid. I meditate to help me balance. And yes, I love essential oils and my salt lamp :)
With any changes you make in your life, always do the research. Make sure what you add new to your daily life is something beneficial for you and your lifestyle.
Well I need to get some writing in...
Everyone have a lovely day!!!
Blessings to all!!!
