I suppose if I *must* be in bed all day I can at least look good while doing it. The first 6 months or so of my confinement, I would always make sure that my face was made up before my hubby came home. I used to play with makeup (which I LOVE and am OBSESSED with) to keep myself entertained. I am not sure when that stopped. My hubby did say he was sick of seeing me staring at myself in a mirror all the time but really, it was keeping me entertained and giving my devastated ego a slight bump to at least look nice. I think all of this dropped off as Dad got sick and eventually died. It is time to start primping again. Fresh bedclothes. Fluffed pillows. Lavender pillow spray. A long, scented bath (with my Yorkie, want him to be fresh as well). Put the doggies in THEIR PJ's...fresh PJ's for myself, and last but NOT least, MAKEUP :). This is a HUGE undertaking for someone with lupus, almost impossible for someone with lupus and 5 ruptured discs, but necessary for my sanity. I am simply NOT happy unless I am well put together. I get more done, have more self worth, and feel like "me".
The journey from heels to houseshoes continues. Finding ways to keep myself entertained, and finding my own self worth in new ways.
I hope you all have a BEAUTIFUL day, stay gorgeous!
