Oh, the ascetic life is so seductive. During the past four days all I did was eat vegan food, yoga, hike and bond with my fellow yogis & yoginis. It was sheer heaven.
Today while driving to my yoga class I noticed that all the call boxes on the freeway were taped up with a sign posted on them stating not to use but to call the number 399 on their cell phones. Excuse me? Okay, I know that most people have cell phones but not ALL people have cell phones! My ex-fiance use to take great pride in the fact that he didn't have a cell phone. And there are some poor people that just can't afford one. So what about them? Too bad you're just screwed if you brake down or heaven forbidden are injured on the 605 freeway? That's what I call democracy!

The jacarandas are in bloom again...
I would rather stick needles in my eyes than pay a visit to the dentist but whenever my sinus fair up I cursed with such intense tooth pain I must obey and visit the office of steel hooks and drills. Everything is so high tech these days, my x-rays were taken with a digital camera and there was a computer screen in every tiny dental area. The young assistant just typed in my named and pulled up all my pass data and after my x-rays were taken they were displayed on the flat computer screen.
My dentist then made his appearance and poked around in my mouth with his shrap steel tools and said only major tooth cleaning (4 hours of work) and two small cavities caused my the breaking down of two fillings on my back teeth from grinding my teeth at night. I wasn't aware that I grind my teeth for when I awake my jaw feels find.
My dentist gently took my hand and said: "Sweetie (people are always calling me by tender endearments , sweet heart, dear, baby it means nothing just they see me a child more than a woman) I understand how being a caregiver can be very stressful. I see this often with people in your situation." Great what am I to do? Yoga ? Dry martinis? I sighed and he suggested that maybe I will need a mouth piece to wear in my mouth at night. But he won't make a decision until the work is completed.
Didn't even start the work just paid for the x-rays and made three different appointments for this Friday, next Tuesday and one in June.
While driving home I drove down La Curarta and noticed that the jacaranda trees were in bloom again; a breathtaking drive under a canopy of lavender colored flowers. Just beautiful.

Casting call...
Today James class was so packed with his acting friends I felt like I was at a casting call more than a yoga class. But these fellow actors must had inspired him for today his class was wonderful and inspiring!
I've been studying The Yoga Sutras of Patanjali, really so powerful a book with its profound simply.Reading about the universal truth of our suffering nature and how to control it with detachment. "What did the yogi say to the vacum salesman? Too many attachments!" Okay, bad joke but got me thinking about how my heart is breaking over my mother's failing health and how I will (must likely not) cope with her death. I feel so alone and hopeless.
My dreams are haunted with death images and my future fate of despair. Ah, me what can I do? Another down dog.

Where are the simple joys of maidenhood...
Due to a near fatal auto accident when I was the tender age of nineteen I needed to be on the pill not for birth control but regulate my femal cycle. All was well, light cycles once a month no cramps.But when a woman reaches the age of 30 she has to be careful being on the pill due to the horomones the pill sends rushing through your body can cause cancer! So my doctor took me off. Now my cycles are off and I have killer cramps! Today and suffering from the MOTHER of all cramps! Cancer or cramps? Right now I would settle for the cancer risk to stop this pain! Oh, the joys of being a woman!

Instant Carma
Man, my car karma is running really badly!!!! Today when taking mom out for errands and a doctor's appointment some asswipe keyed my CAR!!!! I just got the MOTHER back from the shop!!!! I was so cheesed off! And to have a car keyed by a stranger? What's up with that. The last time my car was keyed it was keyed my an ex-boyfriend! A real piece of work he was; he broke off with me over the TELEPHONE and gave me that original line "It's not you it's me! I just not ready for a "Relationship"."
Well, he was ready for a relationship all right, he just wasn't ready for a relationship with ME! Being involved with him, I learned the cruel truth of NEVER DATE SOMEONE YOU WORK WITH!!!! Don't dip you pen in company ink! He was playing the feild at work. He choose to date another co-worker. She had a higher paying position, thinner but a real pizza face HA! But he was also ambitious and she could give him more inside information of what was going on with the powers that be.
After the break up we had to share an office together, which was real fun, like sharing an office with a Terrorist. We never spoke to each other and the tension got worst when he dicovered that I knew that he was moving in with the other woman. One day I ran into them in a uptown bookstore and he walked out but she remained when I got to my car I saw him walking away and then I noticed that he had keyed my car! What a JERK!!!
He was no prize and I wasn't that broken hearted over the break up, what cheesed me off he couldn't be truthful with me in the first place and that he couldn't break up face to face.
Strange seeing my poor car I thought of that dork!
