Apology in Advance to my *Normal* Friends - 2/1/07

I am apologizing in advance to all of my so called *Normal* friends out there. If you are frightened of the weird please feel free to log out now and come back another day when I am once again in the same orbit as yourself. There I feel better don't you?

Today I had an appointment with my nutritionist. We almost never talk about nutrition anymore. She does energy work on me (one of a few practitioner's I see) that helps me to be more grounded and function better in my life. I would never have survived the last three years of Warren's illness without the help I get from her and others. In today's session I felt that I still had some stuck energy in my neck and shoulders from Tuesday's upset. I usually carry tension in that area and today I had woken up with a stiff neck too. Anyway when we started to work on my energy I suddenly visualized this large snake (like a boa constrictor) that was draped across my left shoulder, across my back to my right hip. I tried to remember what "snake energy" represented so that I could use it creatively to move it off of my shoulder, but it really took both of us to finally loosen its grip and get it to move on out. Since snakes shed their skins they can represent death and rebirth. "Snake medicine people were those who learned to imitate the snake and move between the realms of life and death for healing and enlightenment." (from Animal Speak) I certainly didn't want to drive the snake away completely, but I did need to loosen its hold on my neck and shoulder. This is my first experience with snake medicine. My primary totem animal is Crow. They usually show up when I need to pay attention to something going on in my life. They are my harbingers.

They were calling for snow today which never happened and for maybe/maybe not an icy mix for the morning. We'll see how that pans out. If there is school tomorrow, I'm going to pick up my Granddaughter when she gets out at 2:10 and bring her here to spend the night. She made the honor roll for the second semester in a row which is no small feat considering that she has Asperger's Syndrome (high-functioning autism). She's a freshman in high school. I had told her if she made honor roll this time I'd get her an early Evanescence CD that she wanted. Its rare and when we looked a few weeks ago it was $38, now its $69.00 because of limited supply. (I should have bought it several weeks ago!) But when a Grandma makes a promise, a kid never forgets and so the CD is ordered.

So there is my experience for 2/1/07 a mix of the bizarre and the ordinary. I hope your days aren't too normal...how very boring that might be. Have a great night.
