What the heck happened to September?!
I am not sure, time keeps going by and I do things. I take care of important things. I don't think I've missed any appointments or lapsed on any plans I've made. But what the heck....30 days hath September...that's it.
WELL today is the end and now begins the spiral into the chill of Autumn. I love the smells and the colors of Autumn. It is my favorite season because of the festivities of Thanksgiving friends and family coming together. The Christmas decorations and the people rushing around to get the best gift.
Then before we know it, Autumn's warmth and kinship melt into frantic distraction of Winter and time running out for Christmas Day then New Years and it's one flashing moment and crescendo into the final cacophony marking the end.
All is quiet on New Year's Day because after all of that frantic blast of events crammed into just a couple of months resembles a violent deathblow to the spirit. New Year's Day is sad and mourning for all of the joys that were temporarily programmed into our behaviors for two months.
They say it takes 28 days to break a habit but only 21 days to make a habit.
So come January 29th we should be out of our mourning and ready to start afresh. Then we can jump into the whole thing again starting with February 14th of course.
This is a great time of year....I love Autumn. :)

one handed typing b/c my kitty tactical is clutching me tightly it's cute Oh noes there she goes.
So, I slept all day today. I went to bed last night sometime around 9pm then got up today around 11am. I've been sneezing too but I think that's from all of this black mold that has formed in the kitchen. I wonder if that will be covered by our home owner's insurance. I'll call tomorrow. I also want to see if my dentist can say to the insurance company that it's a medical necessity for me to have my wisdom tooth extracted. It's impacted and I think at a point that it's finally emerging. I've noticed a bad odor when I brush and floss way back there. The hygienist said well that's from your impacted molar and you need to get it extracted then she said so long as it doesn't hurt, just keep it clean.
Now I think I know why some people have REALLY bad breath and now I'm scared that I'm one of those people. :(
If my insurance can be billed for this as a medical rather than a dental I might be able to have it covered.
My ophthalmologist gave me this idea because my most recent visit was billed as medical because I have MS and I have problems with my vision from it. YAY Doc.
So I have two calls to make tomorrow
Now I'm off to brush and floss...again.

yoga & yogurt yo
So, I've started making yogurt again.
I was making it for years, that and my own flour, bread and baked goods as well as my own pasta and I juiced a lot of things.
During that time, which I lovingly refer to as my sort of transcendental years. That was when I read a lot of poetry and became involved in holistic approach to life. I took time to enjoy nature and wasn't involved in much technologically. I listened to a lot of Cocteau Twins of course and other ethereal. I was moved by books from the well known transcendentalist movement. I even read sci-fi books by authors such as George Orwell, Issac Isamov and even a modern author Clive Barker.
I was so moved that during that time, I began writing a book. My idea was so original and I was so proud. It seems that everything in my life was telling me this story and I just had to write it all down. It was almost completely engrossing at times. My idea involves a girl much like me, in fact it was about a lot of things I'd been through. The thing is that it was also sci-fi in nature but not until the reader is truly exposed to as many facets of the character to have brought it into reality.
I had two spiral notebooks filled with the story/saga when I saw an advertisement for a movie that sounded familiar but still dry.
I saw this movie, as I'm sure you have too, and I cried. That was my story and if I end up publishing it people will think that I'm a hack.
So I burned it. :( Both notebooks burned to ashes.
I may try that again someday because my story is better and more relate-able.
the movie .....Matrix. Again, my story is better and doesn't slip off into some techno fight epic. My story based in the here and now and I've even come up with more details than that story. Plus truly, mine was first. My husband read it before I burned it and he said that it was so out there and it was so good.
Making yogurt again has inspired me. I've taken my journey back here.I've done some wild things and let myself get out of control at times. Just like high school I think back in amazement about the fact that I'm still alive.
I can't workout like I did then. I miss rollerblading especially. With MS though I become fatigued easily. Instead, I've found Yoga. It's relaxing and at the same time strengthening. As a Christian,I have refused to use any of the yoga verbiage. There is power in words, spoken or thought. I've told this to my personal instructor and she is fine with that. She's told me that I'm not the only person that has said this. I think it's time to form a new exercise term for those that do not welcome that type of energy.
Well I've gone on for a good bit. I'll keep you all updated.
for now...thank you for reading.

30days until out wedding anniversary. Yay 9years of bliss.
I hope this year's celebration is eventful. I don't know what but I still hope that it's a nice day for us both.
Today, I did some yoga with a private instructor. My instructor is fantastic and just what I want from yoga. Today's achievement was simply working on balance and core strength. I do have a long way to go with balance but I see this as a victory since I was able to hold the 'Tree' pose on my left leg and with assistance with my right leg.
so hooray for today. :)

Yesterday when I was....content
This is my version of Yesterday, When I was Mad by Pet Shop Boys.
I guess I'm having a Pet Shop Boys day today. I just listened to a bunch of their songs on YouTube. Such good music, I consider it as a staple in my younger daze.
I use the spelling of daze because that's how I look at my youth. I was in a blurred confusion of lies my peers, parents and teachers were telling me. It's now surprise looking back now, that I can recognize the paths I was corralled into taking. I'd like to say that all of my decisions were my choices but in reflecting on the past and my choices, I can remember some of the choices were not really a choice. I think it was more of survival, taking the easy way out. I was content with it all, not happy not angry.
The best way I handled a tough situation was just walking away. Walking away from issues was easy when I had no vested interest in any outcome. Now, I can't say the same.
I came to this realization, yesterday. I know people in my life that I have just eliminated, cutting off any sort of communication. Simply walking away, that's my M.O. I'm fine with that though, I've always been an outcast ever since I was a kid. I can even remember back to kindergarten feeling this way; Maybe even younger, I was always a loner. Yes, I was shy but it was because I didn't want to be a part of a large group. I've never liked the competitive mentality. It's not natural to challenge another person. I look to the beauty of uniqueness in individuals.
So, what can you bring to the table?

4x4X4
yay, I'm nearly done solving my 4X4X4 A.K.A Rubik's Revenge.
I love scrambling it and solving it again and again.
I've gotten a lot faster and better at it too.
The first time I solved it, it took me about 3 days. Today, I started earlier then took a break for lunch. Now at this point, it's nearly solved. yay. So back to business.
