Thankful for LJ friends...

golden_meliades has turned some leather leaves I made for her into a BEAUTIFUL set of hairsticks.  Seriously...you must go see the ginkgo leaf sticks, they are just gorgeous.   I really need to make more leaves for her; she does the most amazing stuff with them.   

Also, angeljapan sent me a box of cheerful spring gifts from the other side of the planet.  The bubble bath petals are a big hit here, hon.  Char has used all of the Sakura already!  Thank you so much.  ^_^

I love my LJ friends. 

In other news; something isn't quite right.  I don't know how to explain it; I just hurt all over & I'm very weary.  I can't seem to concentrate on anything, I'm irritable, and most of all I hurt.  I just finished a long set of weights at the gym, which usually makes me feel like a million bucks, & instead I feel like throwing up.  Yesterday was beautiful and yet I could not bring myself to ride my bike...not even on a short trail.  That is NOT like me.

I hope it passes soon, whatever it is.  I feel like crap.

Got to run.  I'm getting my hair done today (it is LONG overdue).  It needs to be darker and shorter I think...I look awful & frumpy lately, with my gray roots showing & my hair going brassy in the sun.  Don't you hate it when you feel ugly?   Being run-down & sick is one thing, but bad hair...ugh!  There's a limit to how much I can stand.
