I have had some quite challenging days. I am just beginning to emmerge. Physical discomfort from several parts of my body, ringing bells of alarm.
I usually don't realise it until I am way into stress. 10 hour worjking days. Housework. Extra work for the company, translating the company's corporatre DVD (for free!), translating the corporate website into French (for free). Trying to fit in some "me" time, usually collapsing in front of the TV with a pack of snacks. I thought I had no reason to worry, that I could take anything in my stride. Well, body alarm hit 'hello! did you take me into consideration?" Nope, I did not. So, I was made to slow down, feeling very guilty for staying at home on health reasons. How pathetic is that?
Anyway. Reading from my prayer book in the evening was the day's most relaxing moment. I am back to work tonight. C is planning to take us to the mountains tomorrow. That sounds quite stressful to me already. I did that journey some five years ago and I was so scared. But he says the mountain refuge is lovely and the kids will love the snow. So, I am following along, although for the second time this year, I was more looking forward to a trip to Athens. Quite funny of me. Oh well. I shall take pictures to show you how our little mountain escape will look like.
I haven't been to a mountain refuge since I was in the Venture Scouts. That's more than twenty years ago. Who knows? I may like it.
Meanwhile I searched for my Holosync Cds that I cannot find. And if I do, my CD player is out of order. Perhaps the girls will be able to turn the CDs into mp3s-if I find the CDs, that is. And then I can close my eyes during the trip at the gorge's edge and open them again when we arrive.
Here is a Holosync demo, if you are not familiar with it already. Some say it's beneficial, some not. I say "Nothing in excess" as the Ancient Greeks said.
Piano music is quite relaxing, too. I must get C to search through the hundreds of Cds he has been archiving in his office for some piano music. Gosh, I've missed Classical music! Classical music is really good for you. This time though, I want to delve deep, read the little booklets, follow as if I were to the Vienna opera house.
I guess that's all for now, folks. I hope to be back on Monday with our mountain expedition. Wish us the best. I wish all the best to you, too.
