This is a total 360° that is well worth sharing. I finished pulse 9 and I gotta tell ya, this was by far THE WORST of all my pulses. I was a total bitch from day 1. No wait, a total freezing, sobbing bitch with brain fog. (Sound familiar?) The smallest of things would set me off. For example, I asked Ken to help me with the radio in the kitchen. Ken being Ken he was playing around and I totally lost it! I grabbed the closest thing to me that was on the counter…a banana. I started slapping him with it before my frustration led me away. I thank our lord that Ken has the patience of Job. He saw me through this pulse and we were both greatly rewarded. The 3rd day after my pulse I was back to being myself. Ken and I were getting ready for bed and were going around shutting light, ect. I felt like playing around racing him to the stairs. I was just trying to be faster than Ken but without thinking about it, I RAN!!! Ken saw me run! You could call it a light jog, but for the briefest of moments, I was completely airborne!
Ken looked at me in shock and said "how long have you been able to do that?" I said, "two seconds, you think if I could run, I'd wait to tell you?" Husbands are geniuses, aren't they?
So at 1:00 am there we were, timing me jogging/running across the 25-foot course we have in the kitchen. I must have killed a lot of those buggers with this pulse because I found a new light on this path! Actual excitement for pulse 10!!!

Kim,
You made me laugh with your description. I had all of those reactions last pulse and then some. But the best part was the part about the banana. Ken was lucky an iron skillet wasn't within reach.
I hope you find a really kewl pair of blingy track shoes. Heck, you might be in those stilettos soon too!
What a difference a pulse makes, eh?

Kim, every time I read this, I laugh again! The picture is hystical - and I'm sure there is widespread understanding.
Running! Can you believe it? I did that after a couple of years and still marvel that it is true. (And "they" said it could'nt be done). Fabulous!!!!! Dancing in shoes can't be far.
