Great that you too had a haircut. Mine needs redying (always a home job here). Good that you were able to be mindful of the tension in your hands there. I was a nail biter up until I was 34. These days I just fiddle the tips of my fingers together. Like you, I take a breath and gently release them when I notice it.
@Mazarita that sounds like a very tiring week! I know what you mean by the conversations playing over & over in your head like a broken record. I experience that too after social interaction. It is one of the things that keeps me up at night. Can you take it a bit easier next week? Or is it doable & rewarding for you? I feel exhausted reading about it.
It is a good thing for the sake of animals, the environment, your health & humanity to be vegan. I won't preach at you all though 
@Crazy_Bug_Lady bills, bills, bills - no fun hey! At least you have lots of pasta in storage & can add some vegetables for nourishment!! For years now I only buy a few people xmas gifts & the people change every year! My partner doesn't want a gift as he says everything he wants & needs is too expensive. He was going to give me a gift - he asked me what I wanted, but now I don't know if I will get one - his mum got her electricity bill today - it is about $400 LESS than the last one, because a new water pump was put on the water tank. However, apparently she was complaining to Matt about it & how she has no money until the cattle dogs are ready to sell (after xmas) - so now Matt thinks we should give her $200. If we give her $200 & I have to pay my health insurance - we will NOT have money for a birthday present for her on the 27th & we will probably get low again. We got low last fortnight as my partner had to pay his car rego. Oh well - we will get through it!
Kind thoughts,
