I have been doing various things to de-stress lately, and I’m noticing a dramatic change.
-- Yoga at least three times a week.
-- I GOT A PURE BRED BRITTANY BIRD DOG PUPPY. His name is Fat Mike or Mikey for short, and he is sweet, well-behaved and a great distraction from my hyper self-awareness of my physical self.
-- Green tea with honey every night. I feel good drinking it, it’s good for me and it seems to be helping out my allergy situation.
--Johnson’s Melt Away Stress Body Lotion. It helps calm my senses and my weather-induced skin irritation.
I am still paranoid about some health-related issues. However, there aren’t as many things that upset me, my work life has improved and I’ve been alright as I can with TJ being away. It also helps that Strawberry Festival is this week, and I’ll have things to do.
What I don’t need right now is a friend getting butthurt about her placement on my MySpace top friends. Moving down a couple of notches does not equal a loss of friendship. With all of the terrible things that have been going on in my life, the last thing I need is someone working me up over something so trivial by writing entries about me in their LiveJournal mentioning me by name. The whole thing seems overly dramatic to me. Apparently, a town will never be the same if certain people are in it and if old friends. Let me tell you -- one of my worst enemies lives here now, and I run into her often. Does that make me stop living because she exists in my world? NO! That means she wins by getting under my skin and affecting how I carry myself in everyday life, and I’m too strong to allow that to happen.
