Before I get to all that, though, I have to tell you all about the weekend. I did close to 700 minutes of chair massage, including the after-party. We were CRAZY BUSY. And that's not even including the fact I had a second therapist with me all weekend, and Kelly for a bit, and the fact that she and two other therapists were even busier at Planet Comic Con.
I was very happy being where we were, too...our booth was right behind the booth of Nene Thomas! If you don't know who she is, look her up...you've probably seen her beautiful artwork before. About 4 years ago, my grandmother bought me a throw by Nene (Flamenco Faery) for Yule, and it's still hanging over my curtains. So, I had to buy some art from her. I bought two large prints, a medium print, and a few postcard size prints. And then, to top it off, because Sarah (the other therapist) and I had bought a bunch of stuff, and because we'd both been so sweet, while we were all tearing down, she gave both of us a free print!! I was so excited!!! It isn't often I get to meet an artist who's work I've admired for so long, so I add that experience to the short list of really great meetings :D
I left Kansas City early Monday morning, and drove straight here to let the dogs out (to answer the old question...yea, it was me :P ). They were very happy to see me, and I got puppy kisses and even lovingly nommed by a Kuma :)
Honestly, this job has been a billion times easier than the last time I dogsat. Oz was very sweet, but also extremely skittish. He'd shake and pee at loud sounds, and didn't play or act like a dog much at all. My friend Kristin and I decided he was more like a giant bunny. But these two, they're dogs. They play, they romp, and, while they sit up and pay attention if I make a loud noise, it doesn't phase them. They're crazy easy to take care of and love, even with giving Kuma his meds every morning and evening.
But these two weeks aren't just about taking care of them. They're also about taking care of myself. I've let my weight and health slip for far too long, and I'm taking this opportunity where I have the equipment I prefer and the alone time to jump-start a remedy to that. I've been working out everyday, eating less, and, starting today, will be meditating everyday as well. So far, I've already lost 4lbs, and I feel like I'm beginning to feel better.
Plus, I get to watch a TON of movies! I'm designing my own personal movie nights, pairing movies I've seen with ones I haven't that fit together. Today was my Disney Princess day. First, Sleeping Beauty, then Anastasia (I know, that's 20th Century Fox, but meh), then Brave, then....FROZEN!!!! :D My poor vocal chords are unhappy with me from all the singing along, but I don't care. It was a very good day.
Now to go let in the fuzzies for the night, and rest my voice for the future...planning on doing a Phantom/Les Miserables night, and a Repo/Sweeney Todd/Labyrinth night before my vacation is over :)
