THIS morning, my yoga did happen, but it was music-less.  Somehow the whole hook-up-in-put-out-put is all messed up (because of how The Boy put it back together again).  There isn’t a way to watch Netflix (which is fine, since I have no time), but I can’t hear my rad spiritual/gentle chant-y song yoga music either…instead I hear TWO roosters crowing at the neighbor’s house, which isn’t very peaceful.  I finally have cocks in my life and it has to be the annoying kind. 

Led Zeppelining all morning to the live 2007 London show..ohhhh, sooo goooood.  The morning drive was  a beautiful one, as I drove to work, windows open, feeling the cool air with my arms.  I saw 20+ engines/strike teams heading to the fire…waved and was waved to.  What a great start to the day.

Work was exhausting.  I MUST take a quick ten minute break before 3^rd block to rejuvenate and gather my senses via quinoa before I hit ICT.  The rest of the day is almost as crazy, except in a non-computer way, which makes it 28% better.

Once I got home, I was delighted to see Geni had left a bag with supplies for the firefighters for me.  I will drop it off tomorrow to Micaela on my way to Practicum.  I got in touch with Brian, because my computers have been SOOOO SLOWWW.  Apparently it isn’t wise to have 12 tabs open on both windows of Mozilla and then never fully shut computer down.  I was constipating it.  After THAT was solved,  it was RIGHT to paper writing: case management, which is something I have never done before and is quite different from therapy.  I’m not sure I  would make a good case manager…I want to get into the dirt. The dogs have become some of my first clients.  They  peeing all over the damn house because they are:   feeling a)neglected, b)abused, c) are intellectually disabled in locating the dog door that they find just fine when they feel like it, d) they are presenting aspects of adhd-canine variety, e)depressive disorder due to another medical condition, I could go on all day.  But at this point, Kathy is right – I should lower my standards (even more – the house is a mess) and realize that one day they may decide to pee outside.

 

Honestly, I can’t think of anything to write for the 5^th of the 5-a-Day.  I should have cut my losses and gone with a 4-a-Day.  Sometime you just have to know when to quit (which is a skill I lack, anyway.  See record :alcohol, cranberry crunch, nachos....)

Pictures: My new bottle of Patchouli oil since I'm almost out; I'm not very GLAD about my container that holds my fresh grapefruit.  It keeps leaking.  Glad sucks; The seniors are affected too, even though the King Fire is burning in the other direction.  Latest stats: 89,574 acres and 7,504 fire personnel.
