Hi Darlings,
I’ve been missing since November. This time I have a valid excuse, sort of. The battery on my laptop began overheating early last fall. I replaced it and then immediately it began heating up as it was charging. Finally, it began getting hot any time it was in use. I bought it in twenty-nineteen, so it lasted. For the most part, outside of one bad experience, HP has always been a great choice.
I had to replace it come tax time. And I’m back, right as Mercury in Gatorade ends. We had a lovely Christmas holiday here. I ended up having NYE off, and enjoyed a quiet night, making fudge and looking towards the new year. January and February went by in a flash. Now it is March.
Mercury in Gatorade has had lessons for me. I’ve going to be vulnerable and write about one of my lessons. I’ve always been kind of literal. Especially as a child and tween. When someone said, “let’s do this…” I was on board thinking we were making plans. Mercury decided I needed to learn how to deal with “enthusiastic politeness”. My unbio sister coined that phrase. You must ask permission to use it. 😉
Once I understood that they meant it, but they couldn’t commit, it helped me heal. My inner twelve-year-old was able to understand it wasn’t about me at all. I took a step back and just let things be. Anyway, I’m back a tiny bit stronger, and smarter, and my writing will benefit from it.
I may have done a thing, as well. In February we were at the beach, and my significant other needed a haircut. The barber there is great. We stopped in and the barber had a woman working as well. She did great with my other half. I asked if she cut bangs. (I know I hear the horror in your gasp. NOOOOO!) She did, I had inspiration pics of what I wanted, and she did fantastic. It has been unbelievable. I haven’t ever had bangs cut well for my hair type. Well before this becomes a novel, I’m going to tie up here. I have missed you all. Much Love, I'll update more soon.
