The end of July has brought a triad of unfavorable events, one right after the other — snap, snap, snap…
I feel like it might be about time to run to the forest, search for a circle of rocks, tune into a different frequency, and step into a completely different dimension.
If only I knew the magic words to reveal the gateway to somewhere else. I don’t feel exactly enchanted right now…
The day after I brought home those adorable Lagerfeld heels, I broke a toe on my laundry room doors so I won’t be wearing them for a while.
Somehow, I entered into another inadvertent situation, and by that I mean, my innate carelessness subjected me to a dumb unthinking bizarre accident. I somehow injured the ulnar nerve on my left hand, which can be way more painful than you think! Because it really hurts, I had to get a brace to protect and immobilize my hand as I kept aggravating the Cubital Tunnel Syndrome/ulnar entrapment.
Do you see it? That freaks me out JUST A LITTLE because “ulnar” is “lunar” and I’m desperately and compulsively trying to discern if that’s a MESSAGE from the universe — or not –and what it might mean on a cosmic level.
And finally, since I have a history of skin cancer and have undergone Moh’s surgery, I had my six month check with the dermatologist and she discovered THREE areas on my face and nose that were problematic. I have to use this gross cancer cream, (which is really chemo) for two weeks. It’s brutal, as it causes my skin to sorta look like I have leprosy — not a pretty sight, that’s for sure, and I can’t go out in the sun at all. DAMN those summers spent tanning on the beach because now I’m paying the price.
I’m not really complaining though, because things could be worse. I mean, they ALWAYS can be worse, right? At least I’m balanced–right toe broken, left hand injured, the exact same spot I broke a bone in 2013 when I ran up the hill to look for a coyote; slipped and fell in the ditch. BALANCED.
I hopehopehope August brings happier news and maybe I’ll finally find the key to unlock that door to another dimension, maybe to a day before I broke my toe or the day before I aggravated the ulnar nerve or before…never mind.
On the other hand, I’d be overjoyed if I could stuff my little toes into those shoes…

Wow. When it rains, it pours. Look at it this way – it’s time to stay home. Actually inside. Heal up all your stuff at once. Rest. Read books, watch moves, or cook. Whatever inside activities you like! Nurture yourself. Then you’ll be ready to return to the world, rested and rejuvenated. By getting all your broken places healed up at once, you are being efficient! And your body will be working/healing while you are resting. Support yourself, and when you emerge, all will be good!

Great advice, thank you! However, I don’t SIT very well, so watching TV doesn’t work for me lolz unless I have the flu! I took down all the drapes and curtains, washed and ironed them, and rehung, standing on a ladder haha. Sat on the floor and organized all the pots and pans. I’m searching for more indoor projects since the sun is brutal right now! Hope you are doing well!

For me, it’s very zen to iron or organize a cabinet.

Yes. Things can always be worse. Skin cancer is usually survivable, but having had both breasts completely removed and two major heart surgeries, really, they can be worse. Buy some big floppy straw hats. Get one full of dried flowers. They look very cools with any summer clothing.

My skin damage came from years of summers tanning at the beach with cocoa butter and baby oil. I do wear hats now and gardening sleeves but am not really the flowery straw hat kind of person. That sounds more like for the Hamptons, not SoCal !! The more annoying injury is the ulnar nerve. I’ve never felt anything like it. You have def been through your share of health events; take care!
