Short, curly, hair with a royal blue tint suits you so well! I look forward to seeing that piece of you again.
Your "pixie sadist" peeking out from under curly bangs makes my soul smile!
Will you share with me where you want to end up in your pagan life? Identifying the goal in writing sometimes helps me find the first concrete steps on the path. At other times, when I feel stuck, my mindfulness/meditation practice is useful. Purposefully emptying my mind of mundane thoughts allows my subconcious to bubble its messages to the surface.
Tell me more about the arm tattoos? Are these planned for November? Which artist, etc. (Mostly so that I can plan you enough time.)
Re: Medical Stuff I'm just gonna say this, and I've been trying to find a way to say it without being scary or mean or yucky for a while. I think you've got Fibro/CFIDS or chronic Lyme. That's what I see from your symptomology and the pattern of exhaustion post exertion. That really sucks, and I'd never in a million years want a friend/family member to be stuck with that diagnosis. Fibro/CFIDS and chronic Lyme are all diagnoses of exclusion that happen when all of your blood work comes back saying nothing's wrong. You'll be tested for everything under the sun, and the results will be perfectly normal. That's the most frustrating thing ever. The folks who diagnosis these disorders are actually Rheumatologists. Wierd, but the history of the research of these disorders landed them in rheumatology. So, please, ask your PCP for a referral to a rheum and see what he/she says.... Apologies in advance if the above is ouchie.
The suck.
