You like it
I like it when it's Wednesday in New Zealand.
I sooo want to visit New Zealand. And Japan. And Thailand. And Tunisia. And Morocco. (When the political situation cools off!) And Costa Rica and Puerto Rico and St. Barths and, and, and...
Grrr.
I had yummy granola for breakfast.
Anyway, I ate it with soymilk.
Raw cow dairy: unavailable, not ideal
Processed cow dairy: available, unacceptable
Sprouted homemade soy milk: sometimes available, not ideal, doesn't taste good
Processed soy milk: available, not great nutritionally, but tastes great
Rice milk: unacceptable
Almond milk: sometimes available, status in question (for me, I just haven't covered it yet)
Goat dairy: interesting alternative, not available, unacceptable for vegans
Do I just give up on having cereal? I am doomed to gooey glutinous oatmeal and raw cashews each morning?
The beautiful people in my Shiatsu class really improved my rainy morning. Oh I was able to enjoy much of the rain. But I still sat down in class feeling a bit damp and gray. Sometimes when looking around at each person's face I'm able to take off my Judgment Sunglasses, and the sheer brightness of them shines into my life.
We started side-lying position today. WHEN do we get to table? :-) Though side-lying was very nice. Adequate access to Yu points, easy access to all the yin meridians on the legs, etc.
Something someone (you know who you are) will be interested in: apparently if you're going to eat before bed, most people do better on a protein meal.
I crammed for my Musculoskeletal Anatomy exam today at breakfast and lunch. It was ok, and I think I did fine on the test, but cramming is an old school pattern I'd mostly let go of. Scoring well on tests is easy for me, and completely irrelevant to anything important to me. Remembering the information into next quarter is difficult for me.
So the question is, why did I spend my time cramming instead of real studying? Why did I prioritize scoring higher on the test above learning? And how do I need to change in order to choose differently?
Box from the Container Store arrived. The item I was looking forward to most (bed risers) did not. Backordered. Grrrr.
Silk long johns ordered, and silk pajama bottoms for Des. In chartreuse. :-) I've been wanting some ever since my first New York winter, and finally get around to it now?
Standard long johns are worse than 10,000 suicides... I'm told these will keep me warm without making me want to kill myself. Plus I can strip down to them in class, which means I can wear my normal clothes over them, clothes I haven't been able to wear because they've been inappropriate for Shiatsu (like jeans, or shirts I didn't want stretched and manipulated.)
Speaking of spending money, in this case that I don't have, I need to get my tires replaced. Like, tomorrow. Witness the Amazing Performing Josh, and our very own Wild Josh Tamer, Mr. Honda Accord! Can he pull it off in the space of one afternoon and still get back in time for Conscious Communication class? Tune in tomorrow and find out!
