take a vacation

my horoscope told me to.

already had an unplanned one scheduled.

it started with some of this...

there might have been a little of this:

oh right and this...

this, needless to say, continued...

thankfully, i moved on to this

and some of this:

the rest of my scheduled unplanned vacation will take place in a tent in the woods.

i hope your horoscope tells you to take a vacation.

i encourage you to do so even if it doesn't.

going inward

i've registered for my second yoga teacher training with the hope of completing this one.

i've started rereading stephen cope's yoga and the quest for true self.

i came across this krishnamurti quote in a recent adbusters:

"It is no measure of health to be well adjusted to a profoundly sick society."

right now i'm trying to figure out how to make a living and how to be self employed one day  

i do not work well for others.  

all suggestions are welcome.

i really love bagels.

one of these things doesn't belong

an apple a day

i'm considering dropping all together this scam called health insurance.  

to date, i have paid thousands and thousands of dollars to them.

deductibles.  copays.  premiums.  in network.  out of network.  out of pocket.

it's under consideration

i'm taking it under advisement

i recently went for my annual.

and i thought that it might be the closest thing to confession that i ever experience.

it was strangely cathartic and comforting.

good healthcare is often worth paying for.

in my life i've had a series of amazing female practitioners who have kicked all kinds of medical schwag my way

free vaccinations

free pharmaceutical samples 

free equipment

free pregnancy tests

 free phone consultations to avoid office visit fees

and one day i do hope to repay that.  

pay it forward

whatever.

but somehow, paying monthly fees to giant health insurance companies doesn't add up.

a day in the life

who can complain?
