(no subject)
Don't you just hate group projects- I swear I always end up the slave-driving den mother in these things. God, I hate slackers (well working with them anyway). Somtimes you just wish people would find some way to get interested in the damn thing rather than dragging everyone down. Oh well, I told them (there are 5 others!) I was going to be a nag if they didn't get it together and today I woke up to a ton of emails with all their reference materials. At least my methods work and they don't think I am evil.
I have been to two acupuncture visits now (started last week) and it is so interesting I feel I need to read something further about it. It is just so weird after being subjected to western medecine for so long. If anyone knows any good books on the subject... I've got this acupressure book but I think its more for practitioners and advanced people. They put a mustard seed on my ear to relieve stres last week and I thought that was the funniest thing. Then it sadly slipped out when Jane did my hair this weekend. Now I have festive fall stripes on my head. Then acupunture doctor insisted I cut back on running (okay fine) and then tried to pressure me into eating meat (but I am never going there. Sorry!). He told me that evenb the Dalai Lama has a steak once in a while. Well, I am not the Dalai Lama. I won't let this little vignette disrupt my interest and excitement over the whole treatment. My sinuses certainly feel cleared up a bit and I haven't felt as neurotic as usual.
I am trying my hardest to be a little more sociable lately, but sometime sit just isn't worth it you know? Take this past Saturday. We invited my neighbor over and the woman did not shut up for 3 1/2 solid hours! My God how do people do it?! I thought I was going to fall asleep right in front of her. Friday we went to Jane's and Jane' started downing the vino. After a while it was like talking to a brick wall! She'd engage Rich and I in a question and then either cut us off as we were to answer or play devils' advocate beyond necessity or she would switch her own story mid stream. Then she got all sad and sappy. What a pain in the ass. I love her anyway.
