the week in review
today I worked 7.5 hours. I have new insight into the orientation difficulties that plague so many of my patients.
"Neil, did you get a chance to go to the bank?" "It's Sunday, Diana." "Oh yeah." "Did you check the mail already?" "Mrs. Pumpkington, it's Sunday." "Oh yeah." "Today was tough, but at least tomorrow's Tuesday." "No it's not."
Oh yeah.
Yesterday we went to a tai chi workshop aaaaall day. I learned how to respond, not react, and neil observed and kept me company. Tai chi is mostly about harnessing the life force and listening to a bird 100 miles away and yielding if somebody tries to hit you.
Then we went to a barbecue and met a couple of realtors near a really cool portable fire pit. Then we saw Match Point, which was OK. Neil was interested in its angle on the Crime and Punishment story.
Thursday we went to a wake for the spouse of my coworker. We went to their wedding in October. He killed himself and I found it interesting that his casket was open. Also we found it interesting that spirited Christian somebody-died rock (as opposed to Christian death rock, which could be more interesting) was blaring the whole time.
Surreal.
I don't remember what happened earlier than that -- oh yeah, on Weds. we attended and attempted to register for a Final Cut Pro (digital video editing) class at Pima Community College. Alas, the room was bursting with other kids who wanted to do the same, so we'll have to wait. At least we're officially registered at PCC.
west wing is ending and diane lane is only 41.
we're making a wedding blog but it's not ready yet.
i don't think God wants me to work on Sundays anymore.
Anyone who wants to be a marine or a pilot can try this.
bye.

Can't wait to hear Abby comment about her pic on your rather sad week musings. I'm sorry about the man who died. That's grim. So the tai chi workshop was not very rewarding? Will you do another? I went to hear Emily talk in church today-very well done, as usual.
I wish I'd been there! The tai chi workshop was cool, actually. Neil and I will show you "push hands" when next we're in Phoenix. BTW, the red square link doesn't work properly in safari. if the blue squares aren't moving, try it in firefox.
That game is addictive. And I'm also sorry about your friend's spouse. Is that the wedding you had just told me about? Also, don't let my mom fool you--she wasn't listening to my talk, but it was very great of her to come under the pretense of listening. (Just kidding, mom).
Of course I was listening. I was in the 2nd row and there were no distractions. Emily is referring to the fact that I was very sad and frustrated, because Steve and the boys came in late, and I was seated up front, due to my waiting for them in back and then realizing I should stake out a pew somewhere that would accomodate us, and the only one left was up front. As it turns out, Dennis came in late and got to help watch the boys, while I'm sitting up front by myself, wallowing in self-pity.
18.083, in Safari, no less!
I am very sad for your coworker, and I feel guilty because I really want the details of their marriage to be the subject of a novel or a film.
So it has to be asked... What the heck is that picture of me all about?
Why is there a garbage can on my postings? No one else has one.
Mom, you are so funny. It is because you are logged into blogger, and if you want to delete your own comment, you can.
You guys are making me laugh while I'm at work. Stop it! I'm going to have to avoid this site as long as I'm at Mystic Valley (my school)!
it's just one of the pictures I took of you around thanksgiving. i wanted to make a post and also post your picture -- the picture and the writings are entirely unrelated.
