Wow, Bones... definitely sounds like you got out of that place just in time!

You sure would think they'd get a clue.... sheesh.
 I just hope nobody else gets seriously harmed in all that blind stumbling around goin on over there.

Hey, that massage stuff sounds delicious  :D  I'm so glad to hear you're treating yourself well and enjoying some R & R!
You deserve it!!

Hugs,
Hope

Thanks, Hope!

I'm looking forward to my first experience with ear candling.  I can give a report on it later to let you know how it felt.

Hi Bones,

You sound so much happier now that you broke out of prison!   :P  I'm happy for your happiness and the new job.

Thanks, TT!  It feels like a TON of !@#$ has been DUMPED OFF of my shoulders and back!

I'd like to hear about it, Bones! I'm not even sure what it's about... is the purpose to remove ear wax?  :oops:  Hey, not afraid to display ignorance here. I do hope it's a pleasant experience and not too drippy  :lol:    Fill me in, please!

Love,
Hope

Sure!  The therapist uses special candles that are designed for this purpose.  It was a very relaxing experience.  The process pulled out a lot of gunk and fluid that had been trapped inside my ears.  I'm planning on repeating this procedure on a monthly basis as part of my "Mental Health Day".

Wow... I guess that does sound refreshing! Thanks, Bones :) 
No danger in having it done so regularly, I guess?

Take good care!

Thanks, Hope.

I don't perceive any danger in having it done regularly.  Also, part of the procedure is having your head slightly massaged.  I found that VERY relaxing!

Bonesy!!!

You did it!!! Picturing the inmates calling out to you as you said goodbye was a sad and wonderful image. My clever Bones- instead of getting down and dirty with the wacky work-N's, you told the truth, then flew off to better things- I am so proud of you! Now go back to your healing and pampering!

Love,

Changing

Thanks, Changing!   :D

I HIGHLY recommend scheduling at least one day a month for a Mental Health Day for pampering!  That definitely helps the healing process!

It's been one week since I broke out of prison and it feels GREAT!!!!   :D  The new job has its ups and downs, which is normal for any job and, at the same time, it feels a LOT LESS oppressive!  I'm still learning new responsibilities that I did not have before and I've incorporated journaling at the end of my shift in addition to scheduling monthly mental health days.

"A LOT LESS oppressive" is awesome, Bones  :) !!  I'm just thrilled for you. Learning, incorporating, and so much energy freed up to tend to pleasantries... ahhh. Big sigh of relief for you here  :D  Enjoy!!

Yea Bones!  I've never worked any place perfect, but there are definitely levels of insanity and dysfunction and some places have been much better than others. I'm so happy for you.

 :D besee

Thanks, Besee!!!!

This morning, I was able to attend a basic yoga course, near my home, that started out with a foot massage!  I can handle that!!!!   :D

Thanks, Hope!

And I just received an invitation to join a Stained Glass Guild, which I accepted.  I'm looking forward to being able to resume that hobby.
