Pain is like ninja, but so is relief

[brightlotusmoon]

I was a walking explosion of nerve pain and spasticity today.

Things are better. I took a Soma. Adam found the last few sips of the blue lotus extract, too. I was also massaging the MSM lotion that Vicki gave me into my lower back and my shoulders, and also inhaling the lotus oil in Vicki's sunscreen lotion. Now I am blissful and pain-free. I feel almost normal. It won't last. But I will remember it. That is important, the memory.

Tomorrow, I will see the chiropractor, and afterward I will probably shout with joy.

Also, this made me happy.

It has been ten years. I haven't read my own fanfiction stories in a long long time. One of them - my favorite - is lost somewhere in a mass file on another website and I do not have backup. But it is lovely to know that people have read and loved them.

I've been using the Sun Protection lotion too, and I wrote to Vicki just the other day about how much I love her lip balms. :)
Hope your weekend is soothing.

Oh, how wonderful! I know she is always thrilled to hear from customers. Which lip balms do you have? My favorites are Goddess Lips and Honey Rose Tint.

I'm a lip balm fanatic, and I've been using the Honey Rose lip tint a lot, too. :)

Hi here, too! Thank you! I'll be working on the red (flavor idea?) when I return from the Seattle area!

I, too, have wonderful results from using combinations of specific products in Self-Care regimens (I'm writing them down lately... towards a newsletter??)

It is such a fulfillment to me to think something you've gotten from me might be helping you! Thank you for letting me know!

Did you mean the Arnica Relief Salve? I find it very helpful for my many achey areas. I use it almost daily!

I hope your chiropractic session gives relief and it lasts.

Actually, I meant the Psyche lotion, but the Arnica salve was used too. :)

You got my order for the Scargo Salve, right? I really want to try that out!

Oh, I'd love to see a newsletter one day!

[walksbeauty.livejournal.com]

Oh yes, it went out on Thursday, the 12th.. so prolly get there Monday! It will take some time to see how it works but let me know!

I wonder how/if the newsletter will actually come about.. I never know about these things. I can have all the intention in the world and something else takes precedence, ya know? hahaha Like with the Rosacea set I've been working on for years now. I even have all the bottles for the set and nice bags and the recipes and just haven't DONE it... I keep waiting for the ONE signal that it's "there"!

Things are getting written down for the Regimens. I'll likely have more of a mind for the formatting, etc. when I get back after this trip.

I'd like to help out if I can. :)

really?! you could write a column... Joanna's Corner... or whatever you'd want to call it!

[brightlotusmoon.livejournal.com]

Oh, that would be fun!

I didn't know you were a TMNT fan! I'm also a Mikey fan. :)

[brightlotusmoon.livejournal.com]

NEways, I wanted to tell you that 2 use www.archive.org, rosefox, simply get the URL of where your fic WAS, then type it in, and it may have it up there.

AHA! and after a little digging, here's a link to Cold Fire! :D

It has all the chapters! All of them! *tackles you and hugs you massively* Thank you, Mica! Thank you so, so much for finding this! I'm going to bookmark this link and make sure I save the individual chapters just so I have them. This is fantastic.
I also plan on "stealing and stripping" from Ashes to feed my novel. I wrote both, after all! ;)
