Leaving tomorrow night for NC! I’m getting pretty excited to see my friends and show Mr. Yes my old haunts. (Don’t think I’ll have much if any time for online stuff when I’m there, but we’ll see.)

I’ve been using baking soda as shampoo, with an apple cider vinegar rinse and my hair looks good: shiny and softer than it’s ever been. I have had some flaking, but a good brushing right after I wash it seems to take care of that and I only need to wash twice a week. Saw my stylist last night and she said my scalp looked very healthy. She noticed how soft my hair was, too, and that it’s growing faster.

I’ve been cleaning my face with grapeseed and tea tree oil and it looks fantastic. Pores smaller, blackheads gone, fewer wrinkles around my eyes and not nearly as shiny as I used to be. (Thanks to all here who shared info about what they’re doing. It works!)

I found two pairs of jeans that fit last night at Ross. Miracle!

A good friend who needs help (reallyreally needs help) is going to see my therapist

EMDR will probably be done tomorrow, as we have just a little left on the last trigger. Just in time for me to go back to where I last saw my husband. So glad I did this work!

That Mr. Yes is as physically affectionate as I am. His happy sighs melt me.

211 consecutive days of poeming!

Taking the day of our flight and the day after we return off work.
