Good news! well...
Had my physical this week and all 4 of you readers will be happy to know that I will go on living.
Heh.
Last month I went to Florida for some specialized training so I can fix people's owies without inflicting more pain on them. (Any "massagery" people out there who want the rave details, email me.) There was an exam and everything. I got a 98%.
The uber-geek in me wants to know what the hell 2 questions I missed, so (as one friend said) I can argue about them. But that makes me official in this technique, AND I got invited to be a teaching assistant (I get paid all the water I can drink out of the drinking fountain WHOOHOO!!!)
Florida was lovely, blah blah blah. I took a little point and shoot camera, which worked surprisingly well, I got about 400 mediocre pictures, which I might get around to sharing.
In other "news," I've taken up tea drinking... yes, I no longer support 1/2 the economy of Columbia with my 6 cup a day coffee habit. Why tea? Quite honestly, I like the teapots.
Seriously, have you seen the teapots? Oh my god. I have some of the most awesome little Japanese and Chinese teapots. And I learned how to brew my tea so it tastes great, oolong in the morning, green tea all day long. Who knew? I really didn't mean to give up coffee, it just kind of happened. Added bonus, my cholesterol has gone down a little, my hands don't shake, my food tastes better, and I swear my hair grew an entire inch last month. I'm officially past the "growing out" stage into the "long hair" stage. (Official because I say it's official.)
Sunny and Murphy might be getting an outdoor playzone this weekend. Murphy did some serious damage to the bottoms of all the kitchen cupboards while I was in Florida. Plus he has a new trick, (yay!) He knows it's not okay to pee on the kitchen floor, and it's not okay to pee in his crate, but he thinks it IS okay to pee on a towel. So if he has to go, he'll go in the crate, drag his towel out of the crate, then pee on it.
Some how his walnut sized brain has deduced that this is an appropriate thing to do. He's quite proud of himself. Also, my neighbor has puppies. 6 little weiner dog puppies. I do not even want one. Ha!
Well, I'm off to Powells. I just finished a really lousy book and think that should entitle me to buy a comic book, or something. Yeah, that's it.
8 bottles washed up on the shore:
yay!
congrats!
oooooOOOooooo
damn dog.
(does that cover everything?) LOL!
glad all is well in your world.
Any chance of some photos of the teapots?
hehe, the rabbit asks for pictures. Oh yes, there will be pictures. I can't tell you when, but there will.
*evil grin*
*puzzled look because why am I grinning evilly?*
outdoor playzone eh?! *holds breath* **snicker**
You laugh. But this does not require yard work, only my maddd assembling skillz. And $500.
I can't believe you gave up coffee! I'm beginning to feel like a smoker must have felt 25 or 30 years ago, as my once-universal vice becomes ever less popular. Pretty soon I'm going to be huddling 25 feet outside my building in the cold, sipping a forbidden espresso, and averting my eyes from the disdainful looks of the healthy tea-drinkers.
j/k Glad you're enjoying the fine china, and good to see you back online. :)
It probably wouldn't be that hard to persuade me to indulge in coffee goodness...
It'll just be more of a treat that way!
I will definitely look into any class in which you are assisting!
Switching from coffee to tea is inspiring. It lowered your cholesterol???!!?? I just don't think I could ever give up coffee for tea even by accident.
Did Murphy do you a favor with those kitchen cabinets or was it just the floor that you were wanting to replace...or...am I remembering an old post incorrectly?
Funny with the peeing though, my dog used to pee on his bedding and nothing else in the house, he'd also continue to sleep on it so we figured he was marking his territory. As long as he didn't have his own bed he didn't pee on anything in the house.
I do want to hear more about the class and the work, but I'll give it some time for you to integrate it into your practice before I ask.
Congratulations!
