HI Michelle!
Yes, I have been crazy busy.
I started a small pet portrait painting business and it really took off. Before Christmas I was painting 7 days a week, and I even have commissions lined up for this month, which is awesome! But quite a transition, from not workin to working full time-plus.
Sadly, my forum time was scarce.
I have been mostly OK. I had a couple one-to-three day minor flare ups, and considering the workload and the stress I was under, that is pretty good. (I also observed how these were in time with either ovulation or menstruation, solidifying my hormone-related theory for myself.)
Fought off several colds that everyone else but me had until, as I was fighting one stomach bug off, I went to my friend's house for New Years and stayed up tooo late, and turns out they had JUST gotten over a stomach bug as well, so me and DH both got it. Ew, it was intense!!! Relatively short lived, though.
So interesting to hear about your Osteopath Great Grandfather! Osteopathy is fascinating to me, as is CranioSacral therapy, Feldenkrais, Hanna Somatics and bodywork in general. I feel there is something to all of that as well, and I do like to find out more ways to improve health and life-quality.
Now I want to go to Santa Rosa and consult with an osteopathic MD! Or DO, I guess it is. Let's go!!!
xoxo
