I've been remiss in putting up entries the past couple of weeks. Let's see, what excuse might I try tonight? Actually no need for excuses. I've been spending time with family, friends, and trying to take care of myself in the process. I've started a new food plan to hopefully help me with my migraine condition. After one week on a very restrictive diet, I've started to notice small changes. They feel like small wins each day. There is a long list of "no" foods. No grains, no beans, no corn, no tomatoes, no peppers, no dairy, no tofu etc, etc etc. The list is long and despite my best efforts, I'm still not following it 100% quite yet. I am doing it stages to acclimate. I hope by month's end, I can finally have a month without ONE migraine. Let's see how it goes.
Tonight, I rolled out my yoga mat and had a long slow yoga session. Yum. I am getting over a chest cold and despite the occasional cough...it felt good to unwind. I've been trying to get some time on the yoga mat every other day. I spend too many hours at a desk and need time to stretch my creaky body. I know this was a small entry but I've hit my wall and it's time for bed.
More words later...L~

Edvin Cobaj - The Hub
A co-worker of mine has a son, Edvin, who is a creative soul. She shared some of his work with me and it made me smile down to my very toes. He's young and he's doing it for the sheer love of doing art. I have to share it because that's what we creatives do for one another. Pass it forward. Share. Send it out to a wider audience. Enjoy! :-) Peace, L~

Sunday - I will become what I deserve
I woke up with a raging headache this morning. It's not a migraine (thank goodness) but I'm trying to figure out if I should I venture out into the world or if I'm going to stay in my little shell today. Tomorrow it's back to work and I'm having a hard time facing that reality.
The last couple of months I've been looking for a tiny (bookshelf) radio system that can play CDs. I have loads of CDs that I'm no longer uploading into my crappy laptops. I found one that was perfect. I ordered it, played one and a half CD and then it stopped working. That's right, one CD and then with the next CD the spinning mechanism of the machine became louder than the music playing. It paused on its own and stopped working altogether. USA made product. Of course, it's a piece of s***t. I sent it back.
The next thing I ordered was a speaker. My bright idea was I could hook up my external CD drive to it, plug in and play. Brilliant right? I took out the speaker from the box and read the poorly written instruction (China made product). I discovered it doesn't have it's own power supply (nothing to plug in). It's on a 5v lithium battery so it doesn't have enough juice to power the external CD drive. Argh! Foiled again.
At this point, I may go really old school and buy a car radio that plays CDs and hook that up to speakers. Haha!
The whole point of this exercise was to get a small radio that I could play my CDs by my bedside. That's all I wanted. I may go back and see if I can find an alarm clock radio that plays CDs. The problem with that option is the speaker quality is usually pretty tinny. Nothing ruins a song more than bad speakers.
The dream for me is to have a wireless sound system that plays in every room. High end sound system like Bang & Olufsen or even Bose. Imagine what Christina Aguilera's song Bound to You would sound like out of those speakers. * sigh * I won't do it until I own my apartment. There is just no point going through the expense for a place that I will probably leave in the next year. Bah!
As I sit here writing this blog entry, I'm trying to figure out if I'm going out. I'm on the fence. If I go out, I don't want to spend any cash. But if I go out, cash will be spent. hmmm...this how I teeter from one decision to another. I'm going to make my bed, sort my laundry and then make a decision. Wish me luck. L~
