And of course tonight it has taken me 20 minutes to get logged on to blogger
I don't really know what I need to write about, so I'll just write and see what comes; how it goes.
Health
I weigh 51kg as of this morning. Several possible reasons for weight gain - reduced smoking by about half (ie reduced metabolic rate could be a reason for weight gain), I am back on the contraceptive injections (says you could put on 2kg), I'm less stressed, I have a male companion (boyfriend at our age just doesn't sound right), and as I've been busy with said male companion I haven't been gardening nor exercising much. I have a belly and I have some semblance of a bosom!
My face has been breaking out for about 2 months now. I really dislike it. Hormonal related? Maybe, but I wouldn't think so - not for this long.
Still have my elbow rash - it comes and goes as always.
Other stuff
Finished my red dress that I started last year. The All Fools Fayre is on this Saturday and I will wear it then (it has had one showing already), and my daughter will wear her green dress - though she wants the cloak made as well so that is scheduled for tomorrow and Friday nights' entertainment.
Tai Chi
I have started learning Tai Chi. It's the Taoist Tai Chi. I joined not for the health benefits that this style is known for, rather for the calming the heart and mind and the 'moving meditation' aspects. I'm enjoying it. My ex-hubby is doing it with me, and my male companion commenced this week also (though at a different branch than I attend).
I like the flowing, the peacefulness of it. The stretches feel good. I'm not yet graceful and am only about half way through the set of 108 moves, but it will come.
Self
I have been doing lots of 'doing' and, as a result, not a lot of thinking. I have times of feeling that I need to take a step back and think; that's part of what the writing tonight is about. I tried to do some meditation this evening and although I didn't get really into it it was ok, I'm glad I did it.
Feeling a little as though I've lost myself :( Was concerned this might happen and is probably why the need for some thinking is upon me.
Why do I feel I've lost myself? Because I'm not doing the things I usually do - not gardening, not spending a lot of time thinking, not writing. Not having my quiet time to myself.
Relationship
Have been through some very teenagerish times. They seem to have calmed down now. I'm kinda sad about that, the teenagerish feeling is great. Thinking that the other party is in deep, perhaps deeper than he had realised, perhaps deeper than he thought he would be.
More I'd like to write but I'm tired and need my bed.
