Today I will...

I slept in. It’s Sun Day, June 15 but it’s not sunny.
I had my cheerios. I will eat my new program that I made up a weeks ago. I think it might work for me. I see the accupuncturist tomorrow. I just wish he was cheaper or does my health insurance pay for it? I need to check. He charges $70. I’m committing to going to accupuncture for the summer and really focusing on my body.
Dickie and I listened to Hymns and now Bobby Marley and the Whalers. I plan to read in bed most of my book. I don’t know why yet but I don’t like it and I don’t think it’s great at all but the reviews on the back say it’s good. Alentejo Blue by Monica Ali. It’s probably just a stretch for me. I want to finish it before I head to Long Island tomorrow for the week. It’s only 225 pages so, it’s short.
We’re going to hear a pianist playing jazz, r&B, gospel and soul at a church this afternoon. The pianist is a good friend of mine.
Then we go to park under the “cactus” at our favorite and regular eating spots tonite. Then watch the NBA game. So…like I said, take it easy and try to keep my emotions in check.

I will…I will… do well. Be relaxed. Feel the love and connection I will have with other people.

I’m like not sure how excited I am about the dinner. I’m new to the group and I just want to feel happy there and fit in and be accepted but I’m still in the place before all of those feelings are affirmed…kind of like a limbo. Oh well, I’m going.

Last day of Mayo! I just took a short walk.

away about five years ago. They will read it during the service of the the church I used to attend.}

Back home. I went to bed around 8:30 last night. I probably will again tonite. I’m reading folk tales…now I’m on Trinidad’s…last week it was Ancient China.

Besides going to work/school…
~teach one group of piano students
~go to a new employee’s welcome for my
next year’s school (I’m a teacher)

I want to go to weight watchers but the welcome
is at the same time. Whatever. I’ll figure
it out.

I just cannot wake up this morning. I’ve already done my hour of writing and had my coffee. I had some dreams last night that just piss me off…they’re hard to describe why but they’re not feel good dreams. I just hope they’re nice to me at my newish job today. There are a couple of kinda bitchy younger teachers that I don’t vibe with. Hopefully it’s just my imagination that they don’t like me.

~work 3 1/2 hours
~lunch time yoga
~maybe visit my old school for the afternoon
