Hello.  It's mid afternoon here and I'm feeling pretty good right now.   I think it's because I can't help but be happy and cheery when I'm listening to Christmas music.  I just love it.  It's only been since last year or maybe the year before that I've been enjoying Christmas.  Before that I used to so severely depressed...so it's nice to be happy and excited and looking forward to it this year.I went for my massage today.  I am so glad I finally got to go again.  I just love getting massages.  She said my back was extremely tight.  I'm surprised I never really noticed...sure I get aches and pains but I never put two and two together.  I'm starting to notice though that I carry a lot of tension in my body.  I don't notice it most of the time until I consciously tell myself to relax my body and notice how hard it is to stay relaxed.  This is something I am going to have to work on.  I think my body will feel better overall if I learn to feel and release the tension before it gets so knotted up.I'm sitting here enjoying a chai tea before I do some laundry.  I want to get all of it done today but I might have to do a load or two tomorrow.  I've got an amazing amount of laundry for one person.  I'm so glad I don't have to pay to do it....it would never get done.  LOL.  I think the tea kettle broke this morning.  I went to heat up water and it doesn't seem to want to.  I flipped the breaker switches to make sure it wasn't a blown fuse but that didn't seem to help any.  I had to microwave my tea.  I'll try again later to see if it works. I'm still loving my hair cut but it was very funny and wild when I woke up.  I couldn't help but laugh it looked so silly sticking up every which way.  It really is amazing though how much a good hair cut can make you feel better.  I know it's just a hair cut but it does make me feel better...more confident...more outgoing even.  I feel like I should be doing something creative so I might get back into doing some beadwork.  I found my supplies last night when mom was here. Well, I should probably go get the first load of laundry in.  Blah blah blah...fun fun fun...Oh well, gotta do what has to be done.
