Quotable and suitable

"An elderly woman in aisle A turned to look at me, and I pulled a Times crossword puzzle from the bag beneath my seat. That always makes you look reasonable, especially on a Saturday, when the words are long and the clues are exceptionally tough. The problem is that you have to concentrate, and all I could think of was this Becky person."

"Seventeen across: a fifteen-letter word for enlightenment. 'I am not an asshole,' I wrote, and it fit."

"Five down: six-letter Indian tribe. 'You are.'"

"Look at that smart man, breezing through the puzzle, I imagined everyone thinking. He must be a genius."

Great kid & car video, too.

She was really smart and fun

I just felt like looking her up and found her. She was on the island for a while. The last time I saw her was somewhere in Northern Cali (1990ish?) when I slept over at her house after she moved away. Looks like she did change her last name but her maiden name is still there! I hope she's doing well.

Spa thoughts

I really feel like sometimes when people have residual trauma, they hold it in their bodies, and then it comes out at inopportune moments, so they could probably find some benefit if they work with good energy healers or bathe in a lake of salt or something.

A litany of things that I am too bored to mention was making me feel gloomy but a slight bit of cheer crept in for I heard a few bars of an old song in a drugstore and then looked up the video (so fun! Is there any better invention than YouTube?) and decided that Bruce Springsteen, pretending to be poor, lying under a blue car, getting ready to work on a rich lady's white car, is probably acting out his own embodiment of a male organ, but I don't mean that in a derogatory way, I mean it in a really respectful way.

I need lavender infused air

I need music for reiki healers
I need breathing techniques

I need nature as a soothing experience

I need water
I have gotten foolish recently
My back hurts
I should do the really really really peaceful type of yoga soon
I have a certain type of body and it gets burned out on its own chemical processes

I need water
Please I think I will need more quiet
Don't let me fray my own nerves so much
Oh why do I overdo it

This kid has a rough life

"A welcome retreat from the hurry and bustle of the modern world. But who would come with me? I asked my 16-year-old son. 'I… am… NOT… going with you to a Scottish island!' he shouted, before slamming the door and storming up to his room."

Really rich people can engage in activities that calm their frenetic anxieties.

(not very socratic) self-dialogue

self: do you want to ask dad if he ever had friends who might have a few screws lose now self: maybe I will

Also, while cleaning

I found cereal flakes on all the book shelves. INCLUDING THE ONES AT THE TOP. My bf says maybe he spilled cereal. How does someone spill cereal even on the TOPS of the shelves.

And on every single shelf and around the printer.

It should be better

I am sorry to say it, but most people in society at large just do not care at all about women's health. No wonder body issues are rampant in teenage girls and women.

People who think they are feminist still just blithely toss off incredibly patriarchal and hurtful statements about having kids and weight issues and seem to lack even a basic sensitivity about fertility issues and how they can effect a person's life.

This is why life is difficult to get through at times. This is why you have to be strong, not succumb to despair, and dream of a better time and better healthcare and more respect for women.

I had a great pain-free day and I had a Hawaiian vacation in my mind as I went swimming.

Weird memory

When we landed, a little girl was sick and her mom took her in the back to clean her up in the bathroom. We coukd not move t
while they were in there. The whole plane had to wait, wait, wait....I was incredibly nauseated.

It was an exercise in patience.

I do believe that losing weight and exercising more would probably help to diminish the unpleasant instances of dysmennorhaic pain I often experience, because when I was smaller those instances were less frequent.

Fatboy Slim ~ Weapon of Choice

I felt like sending this to an old boss who said his school's hockey team got excellent by secretly taking ballet and belly dance classes.

RRRRR

Yeah my car is in bad shape and it's depressing to buy coolant that just leaks everywhere. Why do I need a new car(eer.)
Do wealthy people think it's a good idea to drive a vehicle whose emblem looks like squished reproductive organs in thin alien women. Maybe I give up. Maybe some situations are just to be learned from whether or not they are absolutely "healthy." How did I end up here. In the prestigious Fairfax County highschool I attended (where 93 was considered a B+ instead of an A-) we unfortunately watched Fast Times At Ridgemont High in government class. How prescient. Why couldn't we have watched that "rosebud" movie.

I was thinking about my friend again. After I found out she died, I felt a lot of fear that I would experience the same thing. I had a good conversation with a healer about this. She told me, "You're preparing yourself for a situation that hasn't even happened."

And...the cat just threw up! Right on schedule.

She's the boss

My body is. This I know. For my body told me so.

I woke up with a hint of pain. Just a hint. I scrambled in (slight) panic for the tea and ginger. It's not that bad, but it's enough. My body is super demanding of me when she wants to be. Oh, she says. So you think that's cute? Imagine your body can turn into a military general at a moment's notice. This is what you get... I did eat some cake. I went swimming yesterday. Later I saw the set-up for a wedding and for part of it there was a huge cake. Very fancy. I just threw away the rest of that slice I bought at the store.

This is not fair. I feel sorry for myself when this happens. I really do. How come I have to deal with this crap? Others can be more frivolous. Why do I get the special prize of this particular type of demanding body. The body seems egotistical sometimes. Or maybe the body is a messenger. Be good. There was genocide. You will not be allowed to take this lightly.

onto another story rock

I don't think I read this one yet...
https://www.walden.org/remembrances-of-emerson-excerpts-on-thoreau/

But it's fun.

"I observed that he was much at home with Emerson; and as he remained through the afternoon and evening, and I left him still at the fireside, he appeared to me to belong in some way to the household. I observed also .that Emerson continually deferred to him and seemed to anticipate his view, preparing himself obviously for a quiet laugh at Thoreau's negative and biting criticisms, especially in regard to education and educational institutions. He was clearly fond of Thoreau; but whether in a human way, or as an amusement, I could not then make out."

~ John Albee

stories running together

I feel like that universe gave me access to a Beatrice/Ludovico story but also an Isabella/Albert one. They were both about people in positions of power and arranged marriages that actually did include love, but they were also very different. B/L: more emotional, innovative, passionate, involved kids, jealousy, tragedy, disaster. I/A: cooler, less innovative, no kids or huge tragedy, but productive (as a partnership) and more balanced. Also though, both were riddled with aristocratic oppression, and not to be repeated. Some of the clothing people wore back then looks so uncomfortable. It makes me gag. So if one story has more innovation and the other has more balance, it would be interesting to take both of those energies and make something new out of them...

Another piece

I got to see some baby birds today and then I had another insight. It was about a woman giving birth (probably Beatrice) but there was an aspect to it I had not realized. She was very frustrated she couldn't take care of her own child. She had to give birth to a body that was not living, and she was overwhelmed with that process, and she wanted to take care of her living child, the one she had bonded with, but she was separated from him.

It's really surprising there are not more stories about the complexities of childbirth.

I'm glad Call the Midwife exists.

I need a crystal.

Maybe it was a projection, but I thought I saw someone who is now gone a few weeks ago. I really thought so. Just standing across the street, smiling. I went straight inside and didn't come out for the rest of the evening. It is a risk, maybe to talk about people coming back to live other lives. Maybe someone might use it to give themselves permission to leave too early. Is it possible? It is.

I have encountered other creative people and they also have their purpose, and I feel like it is possible that I could be a quiet intermediary...I think maybe it's even more (what is the word, something like challenging whatisit) work perhaps to change yourself to be a healer...sometimes healers lie on the beach all day.

https://classicreload.com/where-in-the-world-is-carmen-sandiego.html

I remember living on an island and going to people's houses in 5th grade. They were software company people. (It was a small company). They were nice to kids, and I liked being around them. I thought I would do that kind of work when I grew up, but I didn't know it involved more than joking around and eating fish and chips at a conference table. The kids were kids and the adults were adults but they could still laugh at similar kinds of jokes or stories, and also the "Where in the World is Carmen San Diego"game was in there somewhere and both the kids and adults played it or talked about it. (I think I mostly just watched.) I just started to wonder, what if there were another circle like that where people could meet and pick out a favorite story from their childhood and say why and what effect it had on them? Well, that's slightly more structured than what was...
