The Journey begins here...So Get your ass in gear for april

Woke from a dream of giant bees swarming to find Hubs grinding away on something on the front porch. That's OK, Tink got him. He walked in to our dark laundry room this morning and Tink jumped out of the laundry basket at him. :rofl: Sort of like a huge furry rat coming out of the shadows.
He's already being his pushy, impatient self today. Finally told him I could put my foot down or somewhere else. :H He has a million projects started.
Rog, thank you millions for your help in chat last night. You were a godsend!
I certainly hope Swan is still recovering. Claire, if you check messages please post again with an update. She has my e-mail, g-mail addresses. Thank you again for letting us know.

Actually that exercise causes the body to de-stress by applying pressure on what's called the centering button in applied kinesiology. A method that can be used anytime of day. Something I learned to do naturally and didn't realize it's true benefit til many years later. For me it was an alternative to clenching my jaw. Ok, I need to straighten this up. I'm not that bad!! The above was actually in response to below. I will try to post a link.

As you lie in bed, inhale through your nose while touching your tongue to the roof of your mouth, thenexhale through your mouth as you let your tongue drop back down. Repeat for 2 or 3 minutes. Weird as it sounds 80% of patients studied reported falling asleep faster. Why? It causes you to slow your breaathing, inducing sleepiness; it also give you something to focus on and slow your racing thoughts.

And here's a product I've been using the last week to help with stress and lift my mood. We must remember that our mood (energy) is picked up on by others. Really can't have that in retail-especially in my line. I've tried lots of things but this is by far the best I've used to date.

Thanks, RC. You are my herbal guru.

I wish I could share with my cold clime friends how beautiful this day is! Every color in the book blooming, butterflies everywhere! It's 77 here at 11 AM, so RC, you could REALLY get some sun today.

The seller of a "rustic" rural shack has accepted the offer that Mrs.Fen and I made ....soon, I'll be spending my weekends in peace and quiet!

WHOO-HOO!!!!!!!! Fen, that sounds like heaven to me! I'm on the short list of happiest people about this for ya'll! (Hey, don't forget Mrs. Fen will need some creature comforts in the 'rustic shack!') :H

To me, having something like that is an escape, a little private haven. I always say I go to the cabin to rest my soul. Enjoy, friend.

Rubes, we've already arranged for a real terlet and running water to be installed for my spoiled little fleur! :H

This is also a great time of year to decide what trees, etc., you may want down eventually. You can watch everything leaf out.

I am sure "being on the short list of happiest people about this " means SOMETHING to the old lady! But it made no sense to me. why would there be a 'short list?" I am thrilled to bits Fen - that is just SO exciting. Oh golly, How wonderful that they accepted your offer.

RC - laughed at your trying to explain your comments of last night - and I agree that the body doesn't lie! That book looks good actually. Re the other website, I see that stuff has Rhodiola in it, which I swear by for a fast pick-me-up! It works in a rather subtle way but definitely works. Thanks for the info. A great source of information as usual!!

I echo Ruby, Clair - please post again and let us know how Swannie is doing......

Ruby -I laughed at Tink jumping out of the washing basket at Hubs!! My hubs isn't talking to me. I ordered roses. he hates roses - anything with thorns. I was hoping he wouldn't notice them sitting in buckets of water on the patio! LOL They will be round the side of the house where he won't even see them and will NEVER have to have anything to do with them! He is still cross because "I know how much he hates thorny plants and still got them". Bad me !!!

I am off - back later, hugs to all,

love, Sun XX

Sun, it means when you make a list of people for something, the 'short list' are those at the top! You dang furriners! :H

My FAV place to order roses is below. Their roses are the old American style, and still have their original, wonderful fragrance. Plus they seem hardier, and A.R.E. stands behind their plants.

I have just put our AC on - temps are going to get to 90 here today!!!! Ye Gods! I doubt that I will be able to sneak any more roses in rubes - wish I had known about those people before I ordered these! He'll get over it but I knew he would be angry. He'll survive!

Hugs, sun XX

It's VERY warm here too, but have doors and windows open. Hubs has built a backdoor shed roof(30 years in the making!:H) and he asked me to come hold it for him a sec. It pushed me down the ladder 3X, and I finally snapped on him! He figured out a dif way to do it. I don't think I could have done it at 30! (The man has NEVER understood how much stronger he is than me.) It looks great, but I've decided my MIL is a closet arsonist, burning AGAIN!
I've had a busy day, and a great one. Missing you guys. MB, need to hear from you honey, how are you feeling today? I remember Saturday's it took me til this time of day to be able to CRAWL to the bathroom, so for the past few years I've been revelling in the first really warm days.
And for those of you reading, afraid to post, it took a long time to get as bad as some of us were. And it takes a while to come back. So, post. Wherever you are on your trip, please.

Sun, in the South, we GLISTEN! All smells the same though! :H My dogs go out and run around like crazy, but come in an sling water everywhere drinking, and are now passed out on our porcelain tile floors, which are the coolest. Tink took an adventure; got out and I finally caught her in MIL's yard. She's been asleep ever since.
