Today I relaxed... with a deadline. I only had one last afternoon alone at my friend's house. She kindly lent me a key while she was on an exciting vacation with her family.
I drink tea
Knitted another 10 rows on my first sweater/jumper
And listened to some NPR online.
Ah.. I always like a good Teri Gross interview. My favourite of all times was seeing her live interviewing Ira Glass from This American Life. But her interview with Peggy Orenstein went well with my tea and knitting today.
About me
- Smiling
- As a teenager, I lost most of my ovaries during the surgical removal of bilateral dermoid cysts. I was left with a smiling scar just like my mother's Cesarean one. No one hinted that only ten years later I would be racing my mother through menopause! Well, technically its premature ovarian failure, but the hot flashes sure are the same! But while she gets to gracefully age, I have to figure out how to fit my twenty-something dreams into my new reality. This is blog is my space to less than gracefully start that journey. UPDATE: I post now over at circlesbecomeme.wordpress.com Email: Smiling.scar at gmail

Sounds like even though it was only a few hours, you got some nice quiet time to pamper yourself a bit.
Hope you can carry some of those good feelings with you this week.
That sounds like an amazing afternoon. In fact, I think I'll try to copy it tomorrow afternoon. Maybe I'll even listen to the same interview.
Sorry I haven't been around the past few days - my family Easter extravaganza has kept me super busy. You've posted lots and I won't comment on all of them, but hope you're feeling like less of a lump this week. I can totally relate to that - I hide it very poorly when I'm depressed or deeply emotional, too. Your friend who fed you sounds so wonderful - it's so good to have people who don't need an explanation, isn't it?
