in bits
not enough for a blog post of their own, here’s a three-fer of little things i’ve been meaning to blog about:
night at the museum
my stepsister asked me if i wanted to go to lunch and look at the exhibits at a (lovely!) museum in town. i gleefully accepted, and off we went. of course, lunch was the first OAB and, shamefully, turned out to be the last.
we talked and talked and ate and ate and talked (and ate) some more, and the museum had closed by the time we’d finished. the gift shop was still open, though, meaning i haven’t progressed beyond the age of six, when i thought the cafe and shop were the only good things about museums.
sigh.
drop dead gorgeous
i went for my first ever facial a few weeks ago. which was… quite nice. it was a dermalogica one and it was relaxing, but not very intensive. still, it didn’t make my skin all red as i’d feared, and i bought the largest face wash in the world as a souvenir. (v v expensive, but it will last me until 2010. good job i like it). the moisturiser however… not so much. it’s ‘clarty’, as my mum would say. so i’m going back to clarins once i’ve used this up in about nine months’ time.
bone deep
i’ve started having kinesiology/chiropractic/cranial osteopathy treatment at the LOVELIEST place that only takes me nearly an hour to get to by walk-bus-tram-bus. and yet i don’t care, because it’s so nice, and so is the practitioner!
have you had kinesiology? it’s so ODD, and yet so GOOD! and this new treatment fits in so well with my new ethos of letting the body’s infinite internal intelligence heal itself. fabby. plus the lovely practice holds lots of classes, courses and workshops, so i’m always reading the leaflets on the walls and in the waiting area for something i might do. lovely!
but… my last appointment was just HORRID. i felt spacey, tired, headachy and unbelievably miserable afterwards, and for days later. ugh. all she did was cradle my head and swing a pendulum over one of my chakras (shut up). i’m having a couple of weeks’ break as she’s away then i’m away - probably for the best.

1. I really do think that restaurant and gift shop are the most fun parts of the museum…
2. Do tell…what does “clarty” mean?
3. I (of course) have done all three. I am a nut for body work. I saw a kinestheologist and we simply could not find a way for me to flare like crazy after each session. The traditional medical establishment in the US thinks chiropractors are quacks but I had great relief during my first five years of fibro. Jud actually changed his mind about them. They are so much more open to different things, like dietary changes, etc.
The person I am seeing now, Betsy, has switched from doing a mish-mash to doing soley cranial-sacral work. I actually think it is the best hands-on work for my fibro. So subtle but I have huge changes.
I guess you would say I am a body-work whore ;-)

Thats good, in fact GREAT to feel so YUK after a session, it means the negative energy is working its way out…………….wonderful for you, enjoy the misery while you still can! I sense that it is onward and upward from here!! :-) xoxoxoxo

I would have laughed at “chakras” - in fact, often did at yoga - until Christiane Northrup convinced me. :)
