It's about time
2006/03/07 07:48 I'm finally getting the crappy tattoo on my ankle covered up this Saturday. Alice from Infinity Tattoo is going to do it. It's by far the classiest and most peaceful studio I've seen in Portland. I'm really happy I found them. And I can't wait for the needle. I've got the itch again.

2006/02/04 14:22 Day 4 of raw diet in preparation for a fast next week. I've never done a conscious raw cleanse before. For the first 3 days, especially yesterday, I felt great. I had so much energy yesterday and my mood was incredible. Today the fire of purification is burning hot. I just don't feel good. I feel like my body is burning off some bad energy or nasty whatever the hell is in me. I literally feel hot. I also dreamt about fire. Heh. The other night I made a toast to "the fire." Be careful what you ask for. I just got up from a 2 hour nap after sleeping for 9 1/2 hours last night. I never do that, but I do feel a bit better. I'm hoping that this period of initial purification will make my fast easier. Everything I've read said to properly prepare for your fast by eating raw for a few days and even up to a week. I'm gonna do a week, since fasting has always been difficult for me. I've indulged in some food fantasy and had a bite of something not raw (OHMYGOD!) last night but otherswise I have been very disciplined and proud of myself. I'vve prepared some yummy food and am trying to keep it interesting for me and Steve so we don't get bored with the food and break the chain just cuz we want something tasty to eat. What do I miss? Dairy. But I'll have it again ina couple of weeks when this is all done. Time to shower.

2006/01/07 09:38 We had the best road trip ever! And now I get to go on retreat next weekend in California. 2006 rules so far!!!!!!!!!!!

2005/12/06 17:17 I'm in such a daze right now. I had a really rough morning at work today and actually sat down and cried. I won't recount the whole story but damn, I just couldn't take it anymore. It's left me really drained and irritable and on top of that I realized that I'm totally pmsing and I want to cry and scream about everything. Little things. Like the sound of repetetive video game music and not being able to figure out what I want for dinner. Such trivial things but right now it's driving me nuts. Maybe I'll drink some raspberry leaf tea and listen to some Alice In Chains (my angry music).
