Since actively starting this process I have tried to keep an eye on my stress level. I've been visiting a chiropractor to get my back adjusted again. All the driving has caused muscle spasms in my lower arms, my shoulders have stiffen and sometimes spasm and my back has been out of alignment for a while.
I've been drawing, actually drawing lately. I find it more relaxing than reading a book. Not just ideas for stain glass windows but anything that has an interesting shape, texture and shadows. Just to practice my focus on details and perspective. I brought my sketchbook with me and sketch a idea for a window and then also sketched the pen holder on the teacher's desk. I think I've managed to recall a lot of my skills from 9th grade, the last time I took a class on this.
I'm using my stress energy and channeling it into renovating Bri's room. It does help because in my mind I'm thinking that I'm doing this for mom. She would have loved for Bri to have a great bedroom and bedset.
I'm going to look into a spa. I just have to find something that won't try to peddle beauty products at me. Maybe I'll look into alternative medicine type stuff that involves massage. That's more what I'm looking for, not that makeover crap.
