Maybe I have too many Friends....

It took me 90 minutes to catch up on LJ--and I've only been off for 3 days.

This majorly cut into my "Hurry! Finish the PEL" plans for tonight. Ack. I'd hate to submit it half done, but I hate to ask for an extension when it's my own darned fault. But if I don't go to bed now I will be really grumpy tomorrow....

Learning to balance the new normal. Got girls into jammies, then got Grammy showered, then got girls ready for bed, then played Upwords with Grammy and long-suffering husband, then retreated to the computer for my first break of the day. Getting used to the fact that the longer I spend making dinner, the more likely Grammy is to decide that she doesn't like it and will just have a bowl of soup.

Made an appointment to get Reiki 1 attunement July 7th. Also have appointment for massage June 30th, which is non-negotiable. Haven't screamed once today. OK, yelled briefly this morning when Leah forgot and left the bathroom inaccessible to Grammy's walker.

I fantasize daily about vacations. Any vacations. I wonder if there's a new season to be filmed of Survivor?

Can you talk more about this? I'm trying to learn more about reiki. I suppose I should ask sirhc_warrior, huh. Well, she reads here, too. :) But that said, what I find interesting is not merely the What (especially from a new person's perspective), but the How I Got To Be Here and Why I Want To Do This.

When this happens to me, I fantasize about going to the ice cream store. I stole the idea from a newbie wine drinker's guide, where the authors (husband and wife team) are clearly in love with champagne. They love it. They drink it any excuse they get. They successfully brought in the mail, as opposed to leaving it (again) in the mailbox until it's too full? Champagne! They cleaned out the kitty's litter box? Champagne! It's Thursday, and one of us just feels like it and is looking for support from the other? Darling, this clearly calls for champagne!

Well, I suppose champagne is not quite so bad for you as ice cream (this is why I never keep ice cream in the house). But just because it's ice cream (a thousand apologies for speaking so irreverently about ice cream) doesn't mean it can't also be a vacation in the sense of luxuriating in it in new ways. :)

Hmm...I'm trying not to use food as a crutch.

I'm failing, of course, particularly the last 3 1/2 weeks, but I'm trying. ;)

Reiki, simply, is the result of a philosopher trying to figure out how Christ healed people. Reiki is, to my limited knowledge, drawing on divine energy. In level 1, you learn how to draw it into yourself. At level 2, you learn how to channel this energy into others. I BELIEVE that level 3 allows you to teach it to others. Understand, I'm new to this.

I've considered doing Reiki since a dear friend did it to me when I was pregnant with Leah. And lately the Universe has been trying to open me up. I think, at this point, that I'm being not so much nudged as bludgeoned in this direction. Of course, it has taken me over 10 years to make the appointment, so can you really blame the Universe?
