Blustery Day

Today is a beautiful day if you want to fly a kite.  It had better be a kite that is strong enough for gusting winds though.  I love being in my house on a blustery day listening to the wind blow outside while I am cozy.  This working from home gig isn't too bad.  The hardest part is that my office is right here, so I tend to work too many hours instead of. getting home from an outside job and turning off my brain.

Speaking of brains, it was hard to sleep last night. Jerk brain was in the house. I hate when I am trying to sleep and jerk brain (JB) is talking to me.  It tells me all the things I am doing wrong, and all the things I will do wrong.    Parts of the rambling are my true voice telling me to improve.  However, parts of that brain are just plain mean.  It is much easier to analyze all those ramblings in the light of a new day.

Here are some of the things JB says.  This is not a pity party.  No need to call the wahm-bulance.  This is to illustrate what  a jerk my brain can be.   Here are some of the things I hear.  "Your dog just sighed because she is sad you are dying of cancer.  Speaking of the dog, you are a horrible dog owner. You haven't walked her in forever.  She is bored.  You work too much. You are at that computer all day.  Ha, the joke is on you!  You are never going to make up for that pay cut your husband received this year.  In fact, you are going to die and leave him with credit card debt.  It doesn't matter how hard you work. "

Here are some of the things I took from JB.  I do need to get out from behind this desk.  My dog does need to be walked.  I do need to meditate and exercise.  Maybe I am dying from cancer, but that doesn't mean I need to do it any time soon.   While those ramblings are annoying at night, they help me take action during the day.  The dog will be getting her walk today.  I will start avoiding sugar again, since it feeds cancer, and I will spend a lot less time behind this computer.  (Yes, the fact that I am sitting here behind the computer at the moment slapped me in the face with irony).  Above all, I will be kind to myself.

Let's talk LuLaRoe.  I have been with this company since the end of July.  My initial kit showed up in early August and my launch was mid-August.  There are many things I love about LuLaRoe.  I especially love that I can wear dressy clothes and feel like I am in my pajamas.  Sometimes I wish I could sleep in them at night, but I like to make my clothes last.  I still have some things from Mervyn's.  Man, I miss that store.

January has been a bit of a slow month.  Still, I am mystified at the beauties that just aren't selling.  I have so much gorgeous stuff that is  hanging here waiting for  a new home.  Look at this small Nicole with one size leggings.  These leggings are roses!  How can anyone pass up roses?

 
This is an XS Irma with a medium Cassie.  I refuse to give up on this outfit. I love this Cassie.  If I lose ten more pounds, it may become mine.



Here is another outfit that I wish were my size.  It is an extra small Irma with a medium Cassie.  I love the olive green in this.  I tend to wear a lot of bright colors, but I also have a lot of love for olive green.



And who could pass up these one size leggings?  If they were my size, they would be gone.



Come on ladies.  Buy my awesome stuff!  I also have tons of full figured stuff, all of which would be making its way into my closet if I could afford it.

I wish a beautiful day to all.  I am going to go no that walk I promised myself I would take.  If you have read this, remember to take time for yourself when you can.  It might be 15 minutes here or 15 minutes there, but your body needs it.  As I was once told, "You can't give from an empty basket."  I am off to fill that basket.

  1. Thank you for your honesty. I am thankful for your move to Washington State, thankful to be blessed with your friendship. Jerk Brain, that is good. We are all dying right? One of our pastors says that the death rate in Jefferson County is at 100%. We are all going to die, it is just a matter of when. A verse that often brings comfort to me if I am having trouble being peaceful at night is Psalm 4:8 "In peace I will lie down and sleep, for you alone, LORD, make me dwell in safety." As for LuLaRoe, I have two comments ;) If that Olive Cassie were a Large it would be mine, and you should consider sacrificing one of your Julias for a nightgown. It is worth it to be comfy round the clock right? I love my Julia nightgown.
