Its all good!

hello, hello I've enjoyed everyones posts so much over the holiday. Its so great to dip out of whatevers going on and dial into something else for a couple of minutes. Its very restorative. It has been snowy and icey here and so we have been hosebound, eating lots of great food and playing board games. A good holiday and time to think though KD has had a real chesty cough. I have basically allowed her to stay in , in Pjs not wash hair etc and I am determined to be rid of it before she goes back to school.

- money, ok I know money is not real, its a concept, a shared delusion. I do not and never have valued money for its own sake. To me what money represents is time and opportunity. Time as a working mum is my most precious comodity so money helps me save time and make the best use of the time I have. I have always had a very defiant and I don't care attitude to cash but lately I have been trying to change my feelings about it and tap more into a feeling of financial abundance. As a student I am on a low income but I have been trying to feel like everything is ok and that I will always have what I need. often I have wanted certain things and thought no I can't afford it and the money I would have spent on what I wanted has kind of just dissapeared into the ether and I have nothing to show for it! Since I have been thinking this way things have got better. I have recieved some extra cash from surprising sources and some things I have wanted for a long time have turned up at massively reduced prices. The next step is the mortgage, the pension. I KNOW I can make this work. I'm growing up!
- Central heating!
- the style rookie blog, does anyone read this? This is a blog written by a 13 year old girl who is really into high fashion and photographs the outfits that she creates fron second hand stuff inspired by mainly comme de garcons. It is so sweet and inspiring and kind of antifashion/fashion! Also she is a great writer by anyones standards.
- Where the wild things are, loved the book my whole life can quote it verbatim and I LOVED the film, the pathos, cruelty and love of children. Me and KD cried and cried happy/sad tears.
-LK BEnnet, this is an english high end clothing line. I really splashed out and bought myself a dress from there for my recent surgical presentation triumph. The stuff looks very plain and conservative but when you put it on the cut sings. I have always struggled with the professional dress required for my job but this line is tailored for my body shape, and when you consider that I am a 34 FF bra size you realise how unusual this is for me! The whole line is stuff that you would see marylin monroe and Liz taylor wear in the 50s/60s, were you don't remeber the outfit you just remember the body!Also Joan from mad men, i.e decorous, professional, dignified yet indisputably HOT.
-Anatomy, I am redoing anatomy from scratch in preperation for my surgical post grad exams. Love it ! Last night I did skin and it never fails to make me gasp in wonder. I am spending a year on this 1, 1/2 pages a day . This is the cornerstone of my future practise.
-Michelle mynx, you tube this lady girls. She is the inspiration for my future as a part time burlesque trapeze artist.
- Oat meal and yoga, my tapeze conditioning starts today!
- spray cream in a can, only at Christmas!
- MY will. today I have to start a peice of written work on a project that has been full of problems and that I don't at the moment have a hell of a lot of belief in. HOWEVER, this is an important part of my course and will have huge value for me as a learning experience me even if the science is flawed. I am chanelling enthusiasm and interest and regardless of my feelings I will start and give it 110%! I can feel myself starting to enjoy it already!

Take the best possible care of yourselves!
