Health Regime a-go-go

I've been really into looking after myself lately. Weekly massages (including some nice healing reiki); eating properly (no sugar - well almost!); taking B vitamin complex, antioxidants, and four times a day a quite disgusting herbal concoction that tastes worse than it smells (and it smells pretty foul). This herbal mix is what is really keeping me going. Among other things it contains a good belt of valerian (nature's very own valium!). It's non-addictive and helps you sleep. During the day, it just helps me deal with the jittery body stuff that comes with grief and loss - a form of anxiety I guess. So really, I think I'm doing bloody well, all things considered.

Today I'm off to see a well regarded homeopath to get a constitutional remedy. More on this later. It'll be interesting to see how this goes. I envisage I will have a large list of questions to answer about my bodily functions and general health.

Work is going well, although there is an awful lot of it. I'm enjoying my work though. Very busy. It's good!

lordy I feel like Rip van Winkle and I have missed a wee bit huh.

I am sorry about Dave but am also excited for you and can see you are already blooming and I do not mean in the waistline.

With all good break ups you tend to look your hottest not long after, dont ya love natural selection.

I look forward to your journey and hope its good read so I can live my single dreams through you. A girlfriend of mine has been having some fantastic success on this NZ dating site. Admittedly I laughed a bit when she told me but once I was online blooming great, a little addictive, great fun, Thankfully happily married as I would make a pig of myself.

Any hints and tips on remedies to cope with life greatly received

Darling DG, thanks for that. It all seems to going okay. It's been almost four weeks now. Some days are better than others, but most days now are good. Time's a great healer, and all those other clichés! I think the NZ Dating thing can go on the back burner. Don't think I'm ready for that - who knows, may need it one day and wouldn't rule it out. I've heard of some success stories! Right now, it's all about looking after me, and that seems weird, but neccessary.
