back in the saddle
Sat Apr 06 2002

up early this morning, ran to the gym, did some weight training, ran back home. hit the fresh fruit and veggie store across the way and bought golden delicious apples, california large navel oranges, 2 haas avocados, bananas (of course), plum tomatoes, broccoli, and string beans.

i started taking tai chi again this week, i've made a promise to remember my multi-vitamin. i can't remember when i quit smoking, must be at least 2 months ago, maybe more. just quit cold and i don't miss it. too bad i don't have a bike. i'd bike to work and back.

i'm playing my vinyls more, trying to limit my time on the web. i'm looking up at the night sky more, love that Orion's belt. i'm trying to get more sleep, and limit the coffee i drink, although, i only have 1 cup a day. now if i could just drink more water...hopefully the workouts will remedy this.

i'm almost done with school, and sometimes i feel that i don't know a thing. so much information surely can't stay crammed in my head. end of may, beginning of june, i'll be free from school, no more papers and tests, no more scrambling to class from work, no more train rides. most of the kitties and doggies have been adopted out from the school lab. now they can live normal pet lives, enjoy sleeping in somebody's bed... my sweet little sammy, however, has a permanent home at school. i know underneath that cat fur, there is a sweet sweet lamb. i'll make a point of visiting him, fussing over him. i hope those that follow shower him with affection, but sometimes, i want to cry that he's left while the others move on, St. Francis watch over that soul...

thank you india
thank you terror
thank you disillusionment
thank you frailty
thank you consequence
thank you, thank you silence

am

and thank you sweet little miracle you know who you are.

    Whenever i look in the night sky, the first i do is try to find Orion. i don't know why, but i feel so connected to it. Now when i see it, i will know that perhaps you are seeing it too.

    Enjoy your sky franny.

    i knew nothing of orion until i happened to mention the word as a pet name to a work friend with whom i share an eerie bond. 'what made you say that!' he said, shocking me. he held orion dear, especially on car trips and had seen the constellation the night before. he had also considered naming his boxer orion.

    i don't remember where i was going with that story. glad you are taking care of yourself, chica!
