I love that word, "Harumph." It sounds like the grumblings of an old man. I don't know if anyone even reads this anymore but I write journal entries primarily for me. So.

This week has not started off well. Last night I was kept awake by my neighbor playing loud bass, which necessitated dragging myself out of bed after midnight to pound on his door ( Read more... )

 The good: Today an almost-two-month-old boy fell asleep on my chest for more than an hour. I'm talking curled fists and a slack month. Is there anything more precious?

The bad: I don't believe anything really is bad right now, but the subject line would sound funny, "The good, the happy, the sad." ;)

The happy: I'm going to see my family on Friday ( Read more... )

I love my neighbors SO much. (The ones across the hall anyway.) We share internet and they accept packages for me (the main office doesn't do that anymore and I'm not home to accept them so I send packages to my neighbors). Tonight though, oh man so much LOVE for them and for my higher power.

I decided a while ago my favorite bracelet, the one in ( Read more... )

Oh lord. I feel pulled in sooooo many directions. Where I am in this moment is struggling with prioritizing because at this point it all seems equally important. I want to do EVERYTHING and I can't do everything because trying to do everything makes me crazy. Or more accurately, it turns me into a grumpy gus because I get low on sleep and downtime ( Read more... )

I love my neighbors. Seriously. They made metal stars themselves out of sheet metal and I just went and threw some at a cardboard box in their apartment. How awesome/nerdy/cool is that? Turns out A also does kung fu! So much love. =)

So tonight my downstairs neighbor came over for meditation again. She seems really taken with it, which is awesome! But also what I find really funny is just before we started meditating I looked at my kitchen chair and there was a ladybug sticker on it! As I've posted about before, ladybugs mean:

"In shamanism, Ladybug is associated with ( Read more... )

Throughout the years I've taught many people meditation. (Not so many, but a handful. Maybe 20 or so.) Anyway, most people experience it and say, "Eh. Not my thing. Thanks." Tonight was not one of those nights.

In October I had a meetup about the spiritual solution to the economic crisis. The manager of my building (who lives below me) has two ( Read more... )

Ok so I just got a telephone call from someone whose voice sounded really familiar, a male, and I didn't catch the name! Ah! But apparently he knows me because he called me by name. And he lives in the Bay area because he asked me if I wanted to go running with him, which I declined because I hate running and I'm still sick. It's a 303 area code, ( Read more... )

My neighbor is adorable. I've written about him before but what happened is yesterday he knocked on my door and said his internet was down. He asked if he could use mine because he needed to look up something on PayPal and his girlfriend? roommate? tried using her phone and it was just getting ridiculous. I have wireless and so I gave him the ( Read more... )

Oh man. So this weekend. The lovely
