Things are still kind of rough, but I'm making a little bit of progress dealing. Therapy hasn't produced results, but then again, I haven't even scratched the surface on all of my issues. I've been going to the gym, which is also going to take time have any kind of impact. Both have given me a measure of comfort though.
Next thing on my agenda is to introduce "I Love Me" days. Note the plural. I am going to treat myself to a day of pampering once a quarter. Today was the first day of indulgence. It started with the purchase of a couple new books for my new NOOK (my Valentine's Day gift to myself), a couple of songs for my iPod, and a pretty new purse. Then I went for a pedicure and 90% of manicure (one bandaged finger was neglected; I sliced it along with an onion while fixing dinner last night). The highlight of "I Love Me" day was the best massage I've had in ages. I spent 90 minutes getting the knots worked out of various muscles.
While I don't know if I'll be able to be as extravagant for future "I Love Me" days (the IRS contributed to today's outing), I know that I will at least have a massage. I had a little of the edge taken off today, but I've got a lot of stress built up in my muscles.
