Update 2
The vegetarian thing has been very hard for me. Basically, I feel like I'm hungry all of the time. And it's hard smelling the meat from people who are eating it around me. Sonya has me on a diet plan that will probably help, though. Smoothie and oatmeal in the morning. Salad with eggs and nuts for lunch (and some kind of oil/Omega 3 thing?). And. . . now I can't remember dinner. I think it was pasta. Dinner will have to be flexible. Maybe lunch, too. I think I can have different smoothies everyday, but salad and pasta every day is going to get old fast.
Did some exercise AND cleaning yesterday by moving boxes out of the basement and into my classroom. Also helped Amber move some. Also STOOD for 5 HOURS during waiting and watching the Phil Vasser concert. It was worth it. But almost not. :-P
Played a few chords on guitar the other day. Just a start. Sonya is going to let me use her plastic clarinet. At least then I could see if I actually want to get back into it or not before I mess with my wooden one.
Temperature is getting hotter. It will be time for air conditioning soon. I've got to empty out the dehumidifier most likely (I don't hear it running.)
Spirituality is really hard for me right now. I'm having a REALLY hard time staying in the moment. I keep bringing up the past or thinking about the future. And I feel in general that my rosy picture of the world has turned to shades of gray. There is so much corruption and selfishness that I keep asking "Why?" How can we accept ourselves as spiritual beings when we commit the actions we do? How can we do what we do? Assuming (Should I?) that we start fresh at birth, how do we become corrupted so fast? I wish I could already be in touch with my spiritual "true self" and be able to completely ignore my ego. But, I suppose that takes time. Gotta keep working!
