Cocoon

I might be about to break out of mine.

Thank you for the wise and insightful suggestions (and for resisting the urge to say 'shut up you old baggage, you don't know how good you've got it') and it's all your fault that I've been watching too much TV recently.  It's been a long time since I actually watched rather than just having it as background noise while I knit/surf/craft.  Lying on the floor has also been a popular activity at Flib Towers.

What's working so far is a new osteopath (hurrah!), the old acupuncturist (tracked him down in north London) lots of stretching and heat and trying to resist using my hands as much as possible. Gaaah, it's difficult. And having a major night out on Saturday which left me hungover and prone for most of Sunday, that helped.

My acupuncturist said something interesting about how the last time I visited him - about eight months ago, I think - I was 'withdrawing' a little.  That's what I've been doing recently too, pottering off to regroup by myself.  It surprised me when he said it, but I guess that's just what I do.

I've been able to do a little crafting - a cheaty baby quilt (photos to come) and I've cast on for a new cardigan but yesterday's hangover put paid to that one fairly rapidly. This week I have a first interview for one job (today); a second for another job; and may hear about the one that has been going on since December.  It's feast or famine, as they say but I'm hoping that my luck is going to come good!  Mainly so that I can go on the mooted summer outing...oh yes and pay the mortgage too. All that grown up stuff as well, definitely.

I'm a great believer in alternative medicine and osteopathy, accupuncture and aromatherapy have always sorted me out.Glad to hear you're on the mend and that the job scenario is looking up. Get well at once!!
