The sound of a warm breeze calms my stress, and is so welcome, for I do not wish to be angry right now.
Sun has broken thru the clouds, brightening the small growing things.
My kitty likes to nibble on onion grass.
Thank you for stopping in. Let me grab a small green folding chair for you.
Alaskan Danielle, I will follow up on your suggestion of a pen and paper journal. Next time I get to town, I will stop at a drugstore or walmart and buy one. Maybe something feminine and nice looking.
Rae, may your soil become increasingly fertile and us both be inspired by Wendi's imminently popping buds....I'm happy and excited for you Wendi!
Moni, I have to agree with Cynthia about the torture in the process. At least with the lip area. The rest of the face doesn't bother me so much and I don't use numbing for it. But the lips....very different case for me!! The first time there she cleared it in three 1hour sessions with just a little numbling rub. The next time returning to the lips, we hit a nerve or something. I couldn't go back to the lips until we lined up a dentist nearby to take cash and numb me for lip sessions! Not even sure if I'm ready to think about the other body areas yet, and I don't plan to continue going to the same electrolysist for those.
So...looking ahead, I may not be tough enough...yet, but with warm watering care and attention from the wise visiting gardening women, I will not wither!
Looking ahead, I have 2 hrs booked with my current electro, per week, through August, and then I have some other names my counselor gave me. He and they are 4+ hrs roundtrip drive away however. My current electro lady is a much closer drive, and we have several of the sessions synced with the dentist for the lips. She also accepts barter at times, though I am finding it best to pay cash when possible. Moni, she is conflicted with her religious beliefs, and those of her peers and her "regular clients" she gossips with. Perhaps wavering with guilt over the $ she gets from my business. She has been in business a very long time and seems burnt out, with a myriad of perpetual & strange health issues, and is in the habit of venting on people she's working on. At least on me she does.
I'm just glad to be numb when she's under my nose! Cheeks, chin, not a problem. I am giving myself permission to weed her out of my life sooner, if needed to protect myself. I guess I'm holding on now to save time, gas $, and to take advantage of the dentist near her office. I had inquired several places to do the numbing for the lips, including my own dentist, and none would consider it, until we found this one.
I'm still only around 100 or so hours into it, after 3 1/2 years.
Long seasons of clearing an ever-smoothing bed.
I will grow and shine.
