Life should NOT be a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in an attractive and well preserved body, but rather to skid in sideways, chocolate in one hand, wine in the other, body thoroughly used up, totally worn out and screaming "WOO HOO what a ride!"
OK, I'm going to try to be better on my blog (three posts in half a year isn't good). First half of the year in review.
January and February were ok. March was shitty. My aunt, who I had been her part time care giver until she was moved to a retirement center last year, passed away exactly two weeks before her 100th birthday. Five days later, her 70 year old daughter diied of some very rare diabetic complication. Bookcased between these two events there were two psychic fairs in town. These were good.
At the second fair, which was actually a holistic wellness faire, I found a chiropractor I thought I'd try. I've known for ages that my back was a mess and needed adjustment. Anyway, Dr Harvey is a back wizard. My back hasn't felt so good in ages and ages.
Except for that little problem of the compressed vertebra at C5-C6 (that's right at the spot where the neck hooks onto the body). On April 20th, at 3 am, something shifted and the nerve root pinched. My whole shoulder went into spasm. Only the third time in my life I've been in an emergency room, only the first time in my life I've ever been on prescription pain killers (vicodin is nice).
Anyway, I have achiness, tingling and muscle weakness in my left arm. But after chiropractic treatments and physical therapy it is getting much much better. Today, my rented traction machine should arrive. YAY.
On the good side, at the first psychic fair, I met a gal who is an Angel Therapy Practioner. It's kind of a practice of evoking the angels for assistance. I don't know much about it, but I want to learn more. And last Saturday I went to a Fairy Tea Party at her home. It was a potluck out on her beautifully landscaped yard.
Sunday, I ran into two former friends with whom I'd had no contact for about 10 or 11 years. It went well. I have no antimosity or bitter feelings. It was closure and it was good.
So that is my half year in review.
And GOOD GOD, there's a 60 year old woman on the Today Show who just had twins! What the fuck are people thinking?
PS Forgot to mention my obsession du jour Michael Vartan will be back on TV this fall in a new show.
