Life by Misadventure 2

Yeah, it's really hard to shut myself off from business. *le sigh*

What happens when you do make a conscious effort to do relaxing things? Anxiety and restlessness, I would imagine?

I am so proud of myself.

I just wrote a letter of closure to someone whom I had a huge falling out with over a huge misunderstanding. It didn't end so well and left a lot of anger, resentment and hurt feelings inside of me.

I kept these things quashed inside of me for the longest time. 3 long years to be exact. Only recently has the stress of my homelife forced them to come bubbling and frothing back up to the surface. So, I went about writing that letter. And not only did I write it, I had it sent off to the person whom I had the falling out with.

Honestly, I don't know if he'll read it, let alone give a response, but just writing it left me feeling so free, like a heavy weight has been lifted from my shoulders (or my heart), and now I can live my life without having those horrible emotions holding me back from living and loving to the fullest.

I guess this is what it's like to be released from oppression. Only my oppression was self made (in a way). I think I'm going all lightheaded now......such a free feeling.

Key Tones has taken it upon herself to expand our minds this evening.

Goodnight all. See you lovely people tomorrow.

Do you make these yourself, Borak? I tried blinking my eyes really fast to see if I could slow down the thing (its a thing, right? ) to see what it was. NOPE.

Oooooo Aaaaaa

Oh gosh, no! I would love to be able to create something as amazing as these.

I can't find the creator of this cat, but (exposing my secret source for these) two names I've posted a lot of gifs from are Robin Davey and Eran Mendel. They make very clever gif art.

So trippy KT!

Bigiorno, I think I'm going to do some "Christmas painting". Painting has always been so therapeutic for me, and I get to check off some Christmas presents as well. I have two mirrors as requested by my parents and a big square that has rows of local wine corks, most of which my parents regularly drink, that I will be painting black.

Oooo, that does sound meditative. So, the wine corks are on the square object, and the square object is attached to the mirrors? Am I picturing that right?

No, I have two mirrors and one square with wine corks on it.

I brought out the first mirror, it was huge and an antique. As I took it out to be painted, a part of it chipped off that my Mamma brought to my attention and she also told me it was too cold to paint. I laid it out and saw that there were multiple pieces missing from the mirror that I did not realize. My Papa came out to take a look. "It's junk, it's junk," I kept saying, but Papa never faltered. He said, "Mhm, mhm." Then came out with a mini dremel saw and shaved off the parts necessary to make it match. Took all but 5-10 minutes, and then he put wood putty on places that were seriously chipped. Now we wait 15-20 minutes. My Papa is amazing! He's an expert handyman and can tackle any problem, and now it is not junk, it is perfect now to be painted!

Thanks everyone for the cat / hula-hoop experiment.

I tried making a circle with a long scarf. Pud completely ignored it. But, like her owner, she is unusually self-absorbed.

It freaked me out slightly, as it looked like a black magic symbol in the middle of my living-room carpet.

I slightly felt an urge to go into the middle



Google says it possibly is a thing. It could, apparently, be because they keep themselves warmest by forming their body into a circle.

This YouTube video is worth a look. The circle gets smaller. But the cat still loves it

Haha! So it works on Purples, I guess.

That video was hilarious.

Yes, I wasn't joking. I was strangely drawn to it ha ha. Maybe it's just people with red hair...

I have red hair!

Are you? That's great. Let's get together and be witchy.

Ive been a redhead since I was 14! If only I was born with it. Maybe it isnt maybelline

That still counts. You're in!

Grrrrrr... Some therapists.....

A red-haired bear? How brilliant.

Welcome to the red-headed club, Fuzzy!
