I’m feeling a little bit better. A handful of days ago, I felt very out of body. I wrote a super short post about it, partly because I was worried I’d just sound dramatic, and partly because I couldn’t think straight enough to actually verbalize how I was feeling. Rather than people making me feel silly, I was loved and supported. Since then, I’ve made some calls, done some research, and pieced a few things together. Made some fresh decisions.
The day that carried some improvement was Wednesday. A few happy things happened that day.
I got a waxing appointment for the first time since May 😳 Ya. It had been that long. If you don’t know, I’ve been waxing my legs since I was 17, and my arms since about 20. I’m 32 now, so its something I’m pretty used to. Covid took a few things away from everyone, and it complicated those nonessential appointments for me. As crazy as it sounds, getting my legs and arms waxed made me feel SO good. It was so refreshing!! Unfortunately, my regular waxing girl was recently taken off work, and I was so looking forward to seeing her 💔But it was still a good appointment. I felt new!
After that, I Christmas shopped a bit with a friend! It was really, really nice to be out and about together. It happens so rarely, as a stay at home mom. There are times when I realize I haven’t left my house for days on end! So it was very refreshing to be in and out of stores, with goals, and productivity, but also just some fun with a friend! WIN!
Our last stop that evening was Value Village, and I managed to find myself a pair of jeans and a pair of sweats!! This is more victorious than you guys know. I should post about this all finally, but I know I’ll catch some grief for it. Aaaaanyway, I’m changing sizes, and have felt like a total slob for months, not having any clothes that fit. So buying new pants that don’t gape and sag is SUCH a win! I feel so much more put together. Still in need of some nice black leggings to replace the lulus that don’t fit anymore, but I’m on my way!
Wednesday felt like a success. I don’t know if it was the outing, or the adult conversation, or the pain inflicted on me in my wax (lol!) but I felt like I was back in my body somehow. Praise the Lord!!!
As a whole, I feel functional and a lot sharper in my brain again. Its not perfect. I’ll go to the pantry three times instead of once. I’ll go upstairs and forget what I needed. Stuff like that. But that is so much more doable that feeling numb, intolerant, impatient, rattled, and dumb.
Now, if you’ll excuse me, I’m off to run some errands and get my hair done for the first time since FEBRUARY!!!!!
Its time, folks! I can’t wait!!
