Had a very pleasant afternoon thanks to Zeren who suggested to go to a movie, and to our delight the movie Jane Austen Book Club had started. We have a pretty volatile (to tell the least) book club and it was quite entertaining to see that similar group dynamics/dilemas which were present in other book clubs too ( the 1st episode of Losts 3rd Season also started with a brawl at a book club - you can watch it online from abc.com it was a hoot ).
Books are so personal that it is really hard to keep the discussions ' not personal' ;o) but I look forward to our meetings every month even though we have met some rough spots I still think it is a great get together.
Went around The Pointe for a while before the movie, did some plastic damage. Got a chuckle when the girl at L'Occitane suggested that I use a certain kind of shampoo- we laughed and had to explain to her that I actually was bald and had a wig on - guess that is proof that the wig looks natural ( or the girl needs glasses.. will take the first one )
After the movie we were both 'Jane Austen'ed, I confess to not having read any of her novels but I do have a Jane Austen Collection at home which I will start asap as soon as I finish 'The Sun Also Rises' - Hemingway which is draggginggg !
Afterwards when I went to pick up Elif from the Aquatic center her friends first said 'Hi' and then they went 'ohhh and came and started touching my wig' when they first saw me they had forgotten that i had my hair chopped off, then realized it. So I think this wig (the long one) passed the test.
My nausea is still continuing but I am just learning to live with it. Found that if I forced some food down it actually helps. The challenge is not to succumb into the urge to gorge on comfort foods all the time because I know too well where that leads to.
