I have today off work👍 Shorter work day tomorrow & another long one on Friday.
I wasn't able to complete all my therapy homework yesterday & am finishing that off this morning, after some light household chores.
I'm using my 50th belated birthday hair makeover gift certificate from big Auntie today & will update y'all from hair salon later - will be there for 5 hrs.
I'll be going on a nature immersion/mental wellness walk after work tomorrow, with my friend, Sarah.
I'm back at LifeCycles HQ next week to help with more seeds sorting/packing for our community seeds library revival this season 👩‍🌾

ALL DONE!
It took 7 hrs to transform to #rainbow #hair. We finished up after the salon closed. Garlande did a great job! I'm now sending photos & vids to my big Auntie so she can see how I used her gift certificate ❤️

Just got home. I'm very hungry & need to eat dinner. Will update more after I get leg braces off, get some food in me & take care of a few family medication tasks.

Thank-you, everyone! Your words matter to me. I read all comments & they help me to feel better. My self esteem & self confidence took a few hits recently & I'm trying to give more love to myself.
I felt devalued by someone I cared about. It triggered me, awfully. It is a big reason I went to obtain extra therapy to recover & get my central nervous system regulated again. Part of my therapy homework is tracking my dopamine & cortisol levels/moments - which has been quite helpful.

I'm feeling much better with the support of that intense therapy & with the support/empathy/compassion of kind folks/friends here. Some of you have helped me to get through some really tough days/nights. I really appreciate you folks!

@cobalt123 That means so much to me! Especially when I wasn't feeling super stellar & am climbing back up again (so many times, I've done that!), when feeling battered down. I'm never gonna pretend to be someone I'm not. I may be a tough woman but I also need softness & empathy from others, when I'm not feeling super strong. I appreciate everyone who just 'gets me' & understands my immense heart.
