wk 24 June 18

So today I've been very tired and have spent most my time online reading http://www.katysays.com , playing a few games on Facebook, Looking up past friends to connect with, and otherwise taking it easy.

Katy is a biomechanic and is helping to spread the word about how holding the position of our body incorrectly is leading to so many of the more and more common problems of today - incontinence, organ prolapse, numbing fingers, painful feet, knees, hips and backs, etc.  I have felt so excited to read and try out the things she recommends. After a week of doing a few things, I am feeling some nice improvement and more stability through out my pelvis region. Pretty Damned Impressive when I consider that I had less stability than this after 9 MONTHS of physical therapy 3x/wk! I will be buying one or two of her DVDs soon to further deepen my knowledge and improve my body.

My husband had his half hour massage today, after which he came home to work. Apparently when he works from his office, he never gets any of HIS work done as the co-workers constantly come to him for help... and most of the stuff they ask for help with are things they could find out on their own if they but took the time!

So after he came home, he and I made lunch together - whole grain spelt pasta spirals and a meat sauce with leeks, garlic, spinach and a bit of fresh fennel, sea salt, black pepper and a french herbal mix. YUM!

We are currently trying to sell a lot of our belongings, cutting down on what there is around the house is always a good idea. It makes things seem calmer, more free, and is easier to move if/when that happens. We've made up our plan, will be creating a shared Wave on Google with our list of what to sell and do soon, and then begin our plan. :)

I found a site called www.loppis.se that I am checking it out. It may be a handy place for selling some of the things we don't mind getting rid of for cheap, like kids' clothing and toys, and some kitchen things.

I do need to remember to review my DBT worksheets and skills. I figure as long as I review it once a week or at least twice a month, then I will be able to keep using the skills effectively.  It's amazing how much having these skills are helping me live my life and enjoy it, no matter the downsides going on at that moment.

I heard from my father a few days ago that my Uncle Doug, who was diagnosed with prostate cancer in May, made it through his surgery to remove the cancer well and is still seeming to do well in recovery.

I have been feeling more sad and down lately as it is soon to be my friend's 8th death anniversary. Paul Jones died June 29th, 2002, after struggling with Crohn's and celiac disease his whole life, only to be told he had cancer in his small intestine when he had some surgery to remove a bit. Diagnosis to death was fairly short, as he was diagnosed in Feb 2002. *sigh* Love you dear friend.

Plans for the rest of the day are to add more tasks to the Wave, clean the kitchen, and put away the clean clothes.
