And ?i thought to myself, \u201cWho made the rule that you can\u2019t use these products until your bedroom (last part of the new home that needs to be squared away) is squared away?\u201d<\/p>\n<p>So, I took a long, hot, relaxing bath.<\/p>\n<p>I masked my hair, face, eyes and feet.<\/p>\n<p>I put lotion on my face and body.<\/p>\n<p>I wrote.<\/p>\n<p>I moved things around in my room.<\/p>\n<p>I thought about my Dad. And my Tim.<\/p>\n<p>I cried \u2013 sad tears, yes, but happy tears too. Happy because, to paraphrase Dr. Seuss, while I\u2019m sad [they\u2019re] over, I\u2019m happy they happened.<\/p>\n<p>I smell good, my skin is soft, my hair isn\u2019t frizzy&#8230;<\/p>\n<p>&#8230;and best of all, I am truly relaxed and recharging.<\/p>\n<p>So, find what will relax you \u2013 then DO IT!<\/p>\n<p>Unplug, unwind, relax and recharge.<\/p>\n<p>Because in 10 days, we cannot be exhausted. We need to be ready to raise our voices. We got rid of Matt Gaetz \u2013 we still have power.<\/p>\n<p>But ONLY if we unplug, unwind, relax and reset.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><em><strong><span style=\"font-size: 14pt; color: #808000;\"><a style=\"color: #808000;\" href=\"https:\/\/www.authorhouse.com\/en\/bookstore\/bookdetails\/232300-BOXING-INTERVIEWS-OF-A-LIFETIME\">Click Here to Order Boxing Interviews Of A Lifetime By &#8220;Bad&#8221;
