Anyone else need to pay a little more attention to self care? Being ADD I often push to exhaustion then take a while to get back up.
I will not do that this time.
I'm going to ensure I take care of myself too. Feel free to join in!
Yesterday, I turned off my shower timer and allowed myself the extra hot water while I deliberately relaxed my tense shoulders and back. BLISS!!
Today I am going to read my new e-book for a while. I have just gotten home from work and I need to decompress a little.

Yes, I am planning to do my finger and toe nails in time for a party tomorrow. I'd better get on to it.

Ooh Jendela! Great Idea. I like taking the time to do mine properly. My toes are in desperate need of a full redo.

I am going to do my ayurveda morning routine: dry brushing with silk gloves, followed by an oil massage and a 15 minute bath. I also plan to do 30 yin yoga - my body is so stiff and tense after no workout at all since January.

Today I am going to do a manicure. My nails are in horrible condition and I want to grow them a bit longer so lots of pampering (and nail strengthening polish) will be required.

desi great that you're on it! I'm going to cull my underwear draw and get rid of functional but ugly. The nice things that are also functional don't get used often enough!!

needmorecoffee: Good job! The underwear drawer always need an update, I too will have to go through mine this week. And then get a proper bra fitting. Today I'm going to do a manicure and pedicure at home and I just booked an appointment to get my eyes checked and get a new lens prescription. Will go for 1-day lenses from now on and I'm looking forward to not having to clean my lenses every night - that will feel luxurious! Just booked an appointment at the dentist, in May! I really, really hate going to the dentist so this is a huge step for me.

needmorecoffee - for getting that dentist appointment checked off the list. I wanted to report back that I did a mini home manicure/pedicure on the weekend as per my earlier commitment. It wasn't the best ever nail polish job, but it got done in time for the party and I was able to wear sandals the whole hobbit foot effect. I am not up to tackling the underwear drawer, although I agree that it could do with a cull. I don't have the mental toughness for that job just now. Instead I plan to make a herbal tea (Sleepytime) and maybe read or relax for a while.

Got my hair cut this week after letting it grow for 2 years and just pinning it up. Hate the cut and it was overpriced but oh well, it grows fast and when it's out a bit I will re-cut it or go the distance to a hairdresser I like better. Mostly I just need hairdressers to do the back, anyway I made that same sort of commitment as my New Year's resolution this year and bought myself a few new pairs of pants and some chukka boots to go with them. The haircut was the last on that list. I also want to get either good quality inserts for my shoes or a really supportive pair of walking shoes for dog walking.
