Well, It Worked

-
Yep, nail polish remover.. when the Dr's office called me back yesterday and told me to use nail polish remover ahem 'down there', even the receptionist passing along the Dr's advice thought it was insane. But can you believe it worked? Oh, I'm not well. And yes, I kept myself along with Hubby awake most of the night scratching, but I'm not any worse. And compared to yesterday I'm feeling a little better. The pain was intensifying until I used the nail polish remover. The damage is done and I'm having to deal with that, but the intense pain has subsided. Believe you me, on my list of allergies, surgical tape and beta-dine will now be on the list!

So where do I stand on the upcoming marathon in less than 10 days? At this time, I'm planning on running/walking/crawling it. I'm contemplating a 12 miler this weekend. Between being sick for 2 weeks, followed by this surgery, my training schedule has been non-existent. So I need this run. If I continue to improve, I'm hoping by Sunday that I can get out and get this last run in before the marathon.

And fingers crossed it is a good run. It would be nice to have some confidence going into this marathon.

My Personal Experience With Essential Oils

It reminded me of people who used to sell snake oil. Every time that I got sick or had an ailment, friends would ask if I had tried this or that oil, I would politely smile and say that I hadn't. I've always been skeptical - the roll your eyes kind of skeptical. A few months ago, a teacher friend was having a doTERRA party with the option of purchasing $5 roller ball bottles. I didn't make it to the party, but I did buy a few roller ball bottles. For $5 I thought I'd give it a try, then I could tell those that yes I've tried it and move on so to speak. I even laughed as I told my mom that I was giving them a try. I told her that I didn't think it would work, but it was worth trying. (I'd been dealing with a sinus infection for weeks that just wouldn't go a

When The Planner In You Must Be Flexible

In case you haven’t figured this out by now, I’m a planner. I know - shocker right?!? :) So although I love substitute teaching, it’s making the planner in me anxious. And it’s been reeking havoc on my workouts. Basically the morning of or maybe the night before, I find out if I’m working. So my day ( that I thought I had planned ) can be turned upside down in an instant. But, truthfully, isn’t that really the same with everyone?

Self Care Is Not Selfish It's Necessary

It's not selfish to take care of yourself. It's not selfish to take care of yourself. It's not selfish to take care of yourself. And I'll say it just one more time in case you didn't hear me. It's not selfish to take care of yourself. I have found through experience that when I'm not taking care of myself, not only do I suffer but my family suffers. So ditch the mom guilt and take the time that you need! I have a tendency to keep pushing my needs aside until I reach a breaking point. We've had a very busy fun summer so far. However, I've struggled to get some quality ' me ' time to decompress. I'll spare you the meltdown that ensued. But the reality check that followed prompted me to take action.
