i fear i have gone a little bit crazy with spring and warm weather. i am thoroughly enjoying the warmth, eating my breakfast outside and reading books on the trampoline. i recently bought some wildflower seeds, a big ol' pack, and spent this morning turning soil and raking away the remnants of winter. it is supposed to snow on thursday so i haven't planted them yet plus i have more weeding to do. which is sad because what i really want is to sprinkle the seeds today and have a field of flowers tomorrow. in my concern for my flowers, i know i will need to water but don't want to break out the hose every day so i am stealing an idea from those more ecologically savvy than myself and i am going to water with grey water (all the left over water from dishes and baths etc) i think it will work out beautifully as long as i don't get too lazy.

hurray for spring!!!!

Eric on my battlestar galatica obsession.

all my worst nightmares are coming true. i was listening to NPR and a NC state scientist has found DINOSAUR PROTEIN (a T Rex no less) in the remains of shattered dinosaur bone. in some collagen or something. You all know what is going to happen next, some over eager scientist with dreams of glory will strive to take this scrap of dinosaur protein to create... a FREAKIN'DINOSAUR! didn't anyone watch Jurassic Park!? i am starting my underground compound now, because dinosaurs are going to chase us all and take over the world. i hate being chased.

today i got a flat tire...and was well on my way to changing it on my own (thank goodness the car had all the necessary equipment) when a nice gentleman pulled over and offered to help. ah chivalry. i was a little disappointed that i didn't get to complete it by myself but i was willing to relinquish the sense of pride and accomplishment to the man who took an hour off the job by doing it for me. sweet. so task for tomorrow, buy new tires.

i began training today to be an acupuncture assistant. i get to pull out the needles. the hardest part of this is making sure i get them all. that would be awkward, a patient walking out with a bunch of needles sticking out of their head. but i am stoked. today i just practiced walking and talking quietly, as to not disturb the aura. and whatnot.

but yeah. i am excited about that.


i have found that i have been inexplicably happy every now and then, which is astonishing! but where in the past five months i would slip on ice and break down into hysterical tears, i can now get a flat tire and still be chipper and actually laughing.

i can see clearly now...

there have been many recent events which have lead me to the conclusion that i really really really need new glasses, events not limited to my ex-job where children would steal my glasses from me and throw them and another, more sinister event, which i will not go into too much detail about but to say my glasses are now actually called "poo spectacles"

now, due to my tax return(yay volunteering!!), I am able to buy new glasses. did you know they are disgustingly expensive? but i have found a pair...and just as the lady was done measuring my face and telling me, that because my eyes are soooo bad they will have to special order lenses, the stem fell off my current pair of glasses...how long for the special order i asked? two weeks. swell. i just started laughing hysterically (remember i am wearing poo spectacles, now broken poo spectacles) and the manager came over. anyway, he fixed it all by giving me more expensive lenses for free and my new glasses (poo free) were done in an hour. hooray!!

i find that in this moment i only feel well if i move as little as possible, like do not move my head, speak, or blink. my eyeballs hurts. yep. today is my complaining day, tomorrow i am over it.

i had great pictures in store, but i cannot find my camera. i think it just hides from me. tomorrow i am running the health shop solo. lets hope all goes well. i have my minimum training and a large amount of b.s. to help me sail through sat and sun. excellent.
