1/26-27/10 Dr Logan: Bear Picnic in Btown

Yesterday Mike and Aaron came to work on the meditation room. I have been worried about a construction problem with the fire place and bookcase. I knew that one side would be different than the other and that it would bother me terribly. However, I didn't mention it to Mike. They worked and the fireplace doesn't look right to me. Why oh why didn't I mention the problem right away. Errg. Willow. Why?

But tomorrow is another day. And I'll mention it to Mike the next time he comes. It will be all right. (I hope)

I had my appointment with Dr Logan. No wonder I'm tired. It's my lungs again. But he's hopeful that if I rest and take what he gave me--daily--that I'll bounce back as always.

I came home tired. It was cold and I really didn't want to teach class. Not to worry, no one came. So MKate and I went home. I do need to work on building the class but I won't think about it today.

1/27 Last night the phone rang at 5:20 a.m. What? I'm telling you the truth. Our 90 year old Mr Jones calls his sister, Mary Shapiro, that early. We have the same phone number. Really. And AT&T created this mess. Bad AT&T. Luke tried to talk with a tech and with a manager. We had to leave for Btown before it was settled, but had high hopes.

Luke and I go to Dr K (chiropractor). I tell him about my appoint with Dr Logan. He worked on my back behind the lung area and on my neck--and quess what--I felt better.

Luke and I came home. Had mushroom soup with corn for lunch. Delicious. The weather was perfect for a drive. We are tired from being woken up so early. Mr Jones can take a nap. We can't. We talk about our life and getting to work on our den and tax items tomorrow. If only.

Luke goes into the school to pick up Xavier. He's a good looking kid. He could model. He's in a mellow mood. Yay. He wants to be sure that we brought our bears for the bear picnic. I tell X that after homework, we have to use our time for the Bear Picnic--not games.

And for the first time, X gets right to his homework. He tells Luke about another assignment that Rain didn't know about. They have fun doing the work. Then X and I get busy with the Bears. While they are working, I take all the Bears and arrange them on the sofa. I know that X will love it because of the way he arranges the bears around his bed. X brings toy food--pizza, ice cream, a drink and a chocoate chip cookie. We arrange the favored bears so they can eat and be photographed. I take some photos and X takes some photos. We have the best time. X doesn't ask to play video games even once.

Rain calls and tells me that the pizza will come soon. I get up and start cutting up carrots (according to what X wanted for the people picnic.)

Ryan and Rain come home with Violet. She's quiet and tired. We serve the food and eat quietly together. The kids eat at their little table in the dining room. Quietly. V doesn't eat much. When it's clear that she'd done eating, she says "What did you bring me, Grandma," I bring out a little candy bar and a little pack of gummies for the health store.

Everyone knew that we couldn't stay long because Luke had a rehearsal to get back to. My philosophy is that even an hour with someone you love is worth days and days. If you only have a hour make the most of it. It's the way Baba taught meditation. He's say again and again, do a few minutes but put your heart and soul and all your attention on those few minutes. And he was so right.

We left for Indy feeling great. Knowing that we had bonded with our Btown family.

Yes. I ate a lot of chocolate. I was so tired. So tired. The driving weather was not ideal. A light snow fell, making the roads a little slick and the visability not ideal. Chocolate is what my mom went for when she had to drive tired and I do the same.

A lot of scary, wobbly trucks bouncing around. Thank you so much God for a safe trip home.

Too tired to work on my painting. It's a time when I need my best focus and attention.
