I'm Molting.....

I'm molting, or at least my leg is. The hives have started to go away finally, and I'm incredibly thankful for that, as well as being able to shave my legs and get that itchy hair off. But I'm peeling on my left leg, I mean REALLY peeling. I'm shedding. Dead skin everywhere, I keep vacuuming it up, and then there is more. Maybe I should take the Dyson to my leg and hope I can vacuum it off.

I didn't sleep in today. You would think with out the kidlets here, I'd have slept until noon, but that was a no go. I was up at 7:30. I watched the true-crime channel most of the day, then went to the Real Food store and bought all the stuff I love that no one else does. I took a wonderful shower and used my new Lush Karma shampoo bar....which is now scenting up my bathroom in a rather pleasant way.

I miss the kids, but I'm determined to not be depressed, and to enjoy this time without them. I talked to them tonight and they are having fun with daddy.

It's funny, it's a smell day for me. Smells everywhere, now I'm lying on my bed, window open, smelling the rain outside, smelling the yummy shampoo bar from my bathroom, and smelling the vanilla massage bar I rubbed all over my much neglected skin.

It just feels good and I think I'm going to go to sleep soon.

You deserve this time. Soak it in.

Just got back from vaca and caught up on your blog. I'm sorry to read you've had such a rotten time of it lately, and glad it's behind you.
