Since August, I stopped eating wheat products and started eating more fresh vegetables. I’ve lost 25lbs thus far, and generally feel better. I’ve also started doing a series of exercises (15 min.) 2x a day. I bought an exercise ball and will try to add it to my daily routine.

During an acupuncture session, my acupuncturist played a cd of Tibetan singing bowls. The room was darkish and it was easy to focus on the tones of the bowls, and I could feel myself detach from my body for a few seconds. Each time it happened I became conscious of it and snapped out of it, but I was able to keep the sensation a few seconds longer each time with practice.
He burned me a copy of the cd, but since someone burned it for him, he didn’t know the title or the artist.
Having a large music collection, half of which is on vinyl, is quite frustrating. I either have to buy everything again in whatever new format is available, or convert what I already have to digital and store it somewhere. I’ll need to give up sleeping to have the time to do the conversion.
My friends next door, whose music collection is also ginormous, both have Ipods. I am totally jealous of the storage capacity of those tiny things, and that you can have any song that pops into your head at your fingertips.
Right now, buying an Ipod is out of the question. I don’t have $300 to drop on a luxury item, and my boyfriend would want one too.
