stop pulling my hair
currently trialling a method I got from moodgym 1 week ago

I can’t remember the name, unfortunately, but the methodology is straightforward. Every time you pull, you record it—they suggest using a clicker, but I’m making marks on the back of business cards, one for each day, so I can track my pulling patterns.

If it’s working for you, you start off by seeing an increase in your pulling, and then it tails off, as the ritual of recording the pull begins to replace the pull itself.

I’ve been doing it since late April, and I think I’m pulling less—certainly from my head hair. Eyebrows and face scratching may take a little longer!

One thing I have noticed is that cropping, bleaching and dying my hair (I do this about every 5-6 weeks) is extremely helpful, and I typically don’t pull for a couple of weeks after I’ve done my hair.



Have my own studio (read all 2 entries…)
I spent last night painting it white 1 week ago

It’s a small room at the back of the house, overlooking the garden. When we got there it was painted prosthetic pink on two walls and murky coffee on the other two, the ceiling was white with nicotine stipple. I spent yesterday night painting it white; today it’s drying. Tomorrow my desk goes up. The cat already loves the room (or would if it wasn’t full of stinky paint).



Talk to florists.
I found one at the Farmers Market 4 weeks ago

You go to her cutting garden, pick out the flowers and take them away in buckets. YES!
