The past weekend was spent participating in the Landmark Advanced course, a sequel (of sorts) to the Landmark Forum that I took in March. This course continues the process of putting your past behind you, and adds the invention of self ( as compared to being who your past made you).
I cant being to tell you about what I got out of this. Not only did I make final peace with my last girlfriend, but also found the keystone to what has been causing me to repeat my past subconsciously over and over. I have chosen to be happy and enthusiastic, and its a reality for me. :)
Unfortunately, taking this class has put a crunch on moving my stuff from my moms apt to my duplex: tonight shall be Mad Moving night. But, everything can be gotten with one Pickup truckload (which my mgr and friend Ben is obliging me on), and 1-2 trips in my car. On the weekend, the storage unit in Edmonds can be emptied and shut down; No truck needed, just multiple trips in my "buru" wagon. Next month, I'll get to do the same with my Tacoma unit ( that one will take a 14 ft moving truck to get it all at once).
The surgeons decided to try the shock wave procedure one more time, and shifter the date accordingly - to the wed before this past weekend. So, once again, I got to do Landmark right after having my kidney blasted....LOL The blessing this time was that pain was not nearly as bad; apparently a lot of the pain from the first time came from installing the stent; a plastic tube put between the kidney & bladder to prevent swelling & allow stone pieces to pass more easily. Since they left it in place, I didn't get pain from that this time around, or even blood in the urine.
The good news is that the surgeons told me afterwards that according to x-rays,the stone is broken up. Now, its just a matter of passing the pieces over the next 6 weeks.
On a final silly but fun note: I got my new cell phone a week ago & am very happy with it. Its a Motoroloa RAZR v3i ( the next to latest version), quad band ( works pretty much everywhere in the world), has a 1 GB micro SD card for holding pics & ringtones, and best of all - its a really cool blue color( the blue for the V3i is hard to find in the US, the place I got it from got it directly from the factory). Oh, and the phone is untied to any one service, so I can use it with any carrier that supports this phone. :)
