1 de julio,del verano de Luz, del 2001
La Bets told me to write out a list of ten girlie/relaxing things to do before I went on my trip and to do at least five. She also told me to get lots of rest and to pack lightly way before so I wouldn't feel overwhelmed at the last minute. I should also meditate or do some yoga. Sound advice and I trust her completely so I've been good.
I've gotten plenty of sleep this week, didn't drink too much and I've washed, folded and arranged my clothes. Today being Sunday and five days away from my departure I will pack my bag. Good timing, right?
Here's the list Bets!
1. Get a massage.
2. Get a manicure (w/fck me red nail polish...hey, that's what she said!
3. Get a pedicure.
4. Facial.
5. Hair cut/highlights/etc
6. Read a trashy novel.
7. Take naps.
8. Fast at least one day (I find it very relaxing so shhh).
9. Write some poetry.
10. Soak in the sun.
And how many of these have I done?
1. My friend D is giving me a massage this afternoon in exchange for doing his hair in braids.
2. My friend Bella is going to give me a manicure in a little while and I've got the bright, slutty red nail polish.
3. I'm giving myself a pedicure this afternoon.
4. I'm getting a moisturizing massage thingie for my hair tomorrow afternoon.
5. I spent this morning reading a Jackie Collins book (hee! I felt my mind turning to mush but it was fun).
6. I'm going to fast on Tuesday and possibly Wednesday.
7. I've been napping non-stop since Monday.
8. I wrote a monologue with my friend Bella and we performed it in front of a small audience at a coffee shop. Everyone loved it!
9. Will get a facial this evening before going to sleep.
10. I've been soaking in the sun at least 15 minutes a day for the past week (yes I've worn sunscreen).
An added bonus is spending time with my friends. Last night I had a wonderful, energizing, spiritual conversation with my friend Nando. He's awesome. He's so in love with his girlfriend and he's completely projecting positive vibes. What an energy!
Well, I'm off to pamper myself.
In other (very sad, very bad) news: Squishy has left the building.
