Who does she think she is? A mother's little helper?
I found a good story under the "Where's the Bathroom" song from "Crazy Ex-Girlfriend."

Ha-ha!
You know what healthy veggies need?!
Some big fat clouds in the sky!!!
And the sun and the soil and yada yada yada.
Imagine expecting all the clouds to be skinny!
I understand that acquiring certain biases from the patriarchy may be completely unintentional sometimes; nevertheless, those biases do have an effect.
Feminism is so cool!

Also, living with a person who has never seemed to have acquired that particular Patriarchal bias is cool.
It's raining less and the clouds are looking good.
I'm too dizzy to do anything except crochet and listen to "fun" things which in my case might be sad songs sometimes. But we in this house agree that I am drawn to gifted storytellers.
We're making a shift. People need help.
I cried. I'm dizzy. I need to rest. I will be more grounded soon. I can't go outside and lay on the ground because it's too wet. Maybe I will use a spoon.

It makes me feel like I can start (or continue?) creative projects by getting back in touch with those old dreamers who built gardens and communities and believed in fairies...
Anyways, I just had a nice time petting my calm and happy cat, and then this came up!

Do you suppose there's a reason why Jesus was ever really grouchy with rich people?
Maybe he was just sick of their b*******.
There are so many other ways to be!
How can your shallow friends and acquaintances' children and / or grandchildren be less obviously prejudiced towards certain kinds of human beings than your shallow friends still are, in spite of all kinds of things that are happening, which could be helping them to change their minds and their attitudes right now?
Trump was the popular candidate for the rich.
It's nice not to be in a concentration camp in this life. Perhaps one could even celebrate one's good fortune in being more free. But a lot of rich people seem to feel entitled to keep on behaving in ways that are quite irresponsible and lacking in empathy for others, these days. But of course, you can also see middle class people and poorer people who are also irresponsible and lacking in empathy. You have Ice Agents who are from all walks of life. (Except I don't think too many of those agents are rich. That's more for the ones who are involved with the detention centers, like a certain attendee of Taylor Swift's wedding.) The survival mode of too many of these people seems geared towards being as selfish as possible.
Raining a lot outside. 🌧️💧🌫️
Cracked the door open so the cat can see what the conditions are like out there for herself.
Just trying to impart a lesson, as I am continuing to learn from it.

Sensitivities or sensibilities have been messed with. Physically, emotionally, etc.
I think it feels difficult to work with some of the patriarchal people who got convinced to go along with certain dynamics in order to fit in better with others, because it almost seems like you're making excuses for the "Epstein class," and therefore, accidentally making yourself an accessory to rape culture.
You're being trained to dehumanize and disregard the experiences of a whole lot of people just to get along better with a small number of "privileged" people. In the future, those people are not going to look that enlightened. They certainly do seem quite selfish at times. They appear to find it easy to disregard others, and they seem to feel the most great when they lack empathy for others.
A bunch of rich men feeling better about themselves at the cost of the health and well-being of the rest of society is not a great outcome, and the idea of being a part of something like that does not inspire me.
Is this a mission?
To boldly bring the meditation techniques into the places where parents have been separated from children, and that is still happening now for no really good reasons (except to show us that we're all connected, and that we have free will) just because some people chose to support a corrupt, fascist sexual predator when they were being selfish, materialistic, ignorant and greedy?
Maybe you don't need to watch all the content about ICE brutalities or how terrible some corrupt administrations have been about dehumanizing girls and women.
But sometimes it feels like it really takes a lot of patience to deal with certain kinds of people who have been duped and catered to just for going along with a Patriarchal Society that is so out of control and robbing far too many people who deserve to enjoy basic respect, dignity, human rights, not to mention health, beauty, and joy.
Perhaps 30% interested in asking questions about you.
Don't be surprised if I'm at least 70% into talking about myself.
Why should these be at odds?
Make the world nicer for myself and make the world nicer for other people, too?
Anyways, it seems to me that I was clearly not supposed to walk the same sort of path that some other people were taking, for a while.
Woke up hot.
I have "Careless Whisper" in my head, and I bet George Michael would have said something about...

I think my favorite part of the day was looking at the clouds.
It was a really good cloud show today!!!
Okay that's enough now back to me paying attention to my health time.
My cold was getting better but now I feel this weird cough thing happening. So... That's a sign that it's time to do something more relaxing! Like crochet.
Are these the new "Mother's Little Helpers?" This sounds bad for girls and women.

I gotta get better at remembering something.
I got to get better at remembering that I need to take care of my health first. And convincing other people of the validity of my point of view or my experiences is way, way down the list compared to that. It would be good if I would really embody that as a new belief system from now on.
Well, the patio's all clean and the cat's inside now.
She brought a lizard inside right as the storm was coming on, of course.
But the lizard is back out there now.

I could do some gardening in containers out on the patio. I can't plant a garden in the ground of the backyard because we don't own the land.

Whatever, I guess my napping has messed up my sleep schedule.
I know why people get obsessed with diet and exercise. I have people like that in my family too. It's because you can control that stuff. And sometimes you can get very pleasing results.
But for me, PCOS and perimenopause have thrown a wrench into things.
I think I am going to start to try to eat a lot more vegan dishes.

Unless I've been sick, like I was this week, I've been able to do weight training based workouts once or twice a week like this ever since April:
I usually try to do exercises three times and 15 reps each time. And I was going to try to go swimming this week but the cold made that impossible. But on a good week I would have two strength training sessions and one Pilates class and some swimming and yoga. But that was on a good week. That wasn't every week. It costs money, you know.
Anyways, none of it made very much difference as far as losing weight, but it did make difference as far as feeling like I was doing something good for myself. When I was younger if I exercised more I did lose weight, but this no longer seems to be the case.
I do have a really positive outlook sometimes.
And it's like, we can get through this. We will communicate better. We will build new things together! And all that. Embrace the inner child.

Your experiences teach you things about the way the world operates.
My stepfather was a man who was very into critiquing women's appearances and you should see all the bakery goods and things like that he would eat and not hardly gain any weight.
Later, he did have health problems and some of his eating habits might have contributed to them. Anyways, he was raised with a sense of entitlement as a man. Sometimes he would use his sense of entitlement to help you, but oftentimes, it did not help very much.

I agree that forgiveness is good for people.
I think I might have to forgive my own body more; it's experienced stress and gets triggered easily. I also feel like the universe wants me to believe that I might have had illnesses that I died of in other lifetimes because my body suffered on account of stress or emotional things. So I would like to have a different and better outcome in this lifetime.
And I don't know what brainwave state it was, or how it happened.
Waking up several mornings ago and feeling like something in the universe was trying to put that projecting onto a screen technique in my head was a little bit much.
I believe they make some good points.

Dear Health Angels 😇 and Devas and stuff 🍋🚰🌱
Please give me some guidance and insights and nudges so that I can do what's best for my own health! I think I'll start with a body scan. And then I'll see if the universe can just kind of deliver some answers to me if I have questions.
My body scan was not the most thorough, but I do think I should have more lemon water and parsley.
Some interesting dynamics going on between those two.
Looking up stuff about Hawthorne and Melville today was kind of a hoot.
Health should include respecting a variety of bodies.
I have met people who were both fatter and fitter than me before. They were usually bigger boned and had more weight on their body but it wasn't necessarily affecting their organs that much.
I do think I have some problems and I need to heal my organs, however. I have problems because I have PCOS. But not every bigger body has the same health issues.
Also, you shouldn't pressure all people to lose weight very fast. That's a way for women to get painful gallbladder problems; they get them more than men do.
Anyways, it's time to be more calm about this pretty soon.
"'Fatphobia’ a form of oppression, says philosopher"
https://fgss.cornell.edu/news/fatphobia-form-oppression-says-philosopher-kate-manne
As far as health goes...
People could be more about send Good Vibes to human beings about healing chakras and the liver and the gallbladder and the nervous system and that sort of thing. And fall in love with vegetables and fruits. And not be so hyper fixated on the body fat percentage stuff. By the way, that really seems to be a male preoccupation. Or, I know you could find some women who are preoccupied with it too. But I just have encountered so many more men who are preoccupied with that than I have encountered women. I understand there are women who are preoccupied with it and they are online and making videos and telling us what we can eat so that we can make the fat get off our bodies and I don't want to do it. I mean I'll eat what they cook if it tastes good, but I'm tired of this culture that has been completely degrading and dehumanizing towards women and girls in so many ways and pressuring them to get skinnier and smaller is a part of a bigger problem of oppressing women, in my opinion. So I cannot get behind that at all. I feel like a lot of men seem anesthetized to those effects like they're just unphased by the damage that's being done. I am not unphased, and I am not anesthetized. I am sensitive to certain things happening to certain people in the population, and I need to know how to handle it because it doesn't just go away if it's inconvenient for other people. It's a real experience, and it's part of my life. I'm here on purpose to experience what it's like to live life in a woman's body in this lifetime, and I did not choose the type of body that the magazines put up as the ideal, and most women do not have that type of body, so I'm getting a more authentic experience that way. Thank you.

I feel good about something that the Universe wanted me to do yesterday!
I got a visual image from the universe that I was supposed to look up something about that window at The Old Manse with the words etched into it so I looked that up.
"Discover 172-year-old poetry on the windows of this old manse"
I just skimmed that and then I spent some time outside and started to feel better. And then, I looked at my book which celebrates watercolors of fruits and vegetables and it has little recipes in it.
And then after that I looked at the article about the old mans again and that was when I noticed the part about how Thoreau planted an heirloom vegetable garden for his friends!

You can already find a bunch of men and women on the internet who are more feminist than what was expected by the culture you grew up with in your formative years.
People have their own timelines, and I guess if some other people out there are satisfied with their place in the world right now, and they just want to be more feminist in some future lifetime, instead of in this one, then that's their choice.
