My morning was made by Death

Pink's Life

Last night was my final Aikido class in this series. The sensei's sensei from Zenshinkan Dojo in Worcester taught the class, and it was really good. I enjoyed it immensely. I'm sorry to see it end.

Now we come to Thursday.
And, as the title suggests, my morning was made by Death.
There are those of you who may remember my comments a few weeks back about the man dressed as Death, standing outside the Planned Parenthood building here in Worcester. You may also remember my desire to walk up to him and say (in that non-chalant British way that sort of sounds like Marty Feldman), "Morning, Death."
Well I usually do that anyways as I pass him in my car.
This morning's pass was, well, interesting to say the least. He was facing away from me as I saw him, and just as I was approaching and starting to state the morning greeting, he turned toward the oncoming traffic and began to wave -- almost as if he was waving particularly at me! Right as I was saying "Morning, Death."
Freaky.

I'm having the lunch blahs again. Day after day, I never know what I really want to do about lunch. I haven't really had much in the way of leftovers to bring in. I don't like most of the sandwich places up here from which lunches are ordered. (One place in particular I will always get a lunch from, when they do that one, and it's rare that they do.) So I putter about in a market for about 10 minutes in the morning, just to see if there's anything that sparks an interest. Most often than not, there's nothing.
So what do I do? Most of the time, I settle for something that may or may not be what I really want, but I hope will satisfy the lunch cravings. For example, I picked up a can of ravioli and a frozen manicotti dinner. I have a choice -- both Italian, both are stuffed pasta in a red sauce. No real decision there, when you think about it. I don't really have any backups, I think, unless I still have a Hot Pocket Grinder (ham and cheese) in the freezer here. *shrug* Oh well.

On the health and current status front: I think my sciatica may be coming back. I'm not entirely sure, but I felt some minor pain in the usual area this morning. It comes and goes. It wouldn't be good for me to get it full-blown right when we have to rush to hospital.
Also, I've been in need of a nap since, oh, 1000 this morning. I haven't really been sleeping as well as I need to, I think. I'm not entirely sure why. I know it's not because C is waking up several times during the night. Hell, I can do that on my own. I've been sleeping through her waking moments. I just don't think I'm sleeping soundly or deeply.
I'm wondering if it has to do with the current positioning of the futon. In the old bedroom we were sleeping head-west/feet-east. Right now, we're head-north/feet-south. Anyone out there knowledgeable enough in Feng Shui to verify which directions are better?
Or is it just something in the air? I think a few other people that I know of haven't been sleeping well. (I know the reasons for a handful of them, has to do with a parasite that grows in their body for about forty weeks before leaving, either by their own accord or by outside intervention.) Mercury in retrograde again? Mars doing that nifty backtracking in its orbit?

Here's an odd thing that I just came across. For some reason, the yellow-green light that flashes on my mobile triggered some sort of non-specific, uncertain childhood memory, or at least the feeling thereof. I'm not sure what it is, really. The only way I can describe it is that it feels like those early summer mornings when I would go out on my bike for a ride around the town. Maybe not really childhood, but in days far younger than the ones I'm working with now. It's not a bad feeling or anything like that, just a bit on the strange side. Why would a flashing light like that bring up that sort of memory or sensation? Very odd indeed.

Wow...


That's all I have for now
Nothing more to report

Here is my take on the bed thing...

If you have bad lower body circulation, you want feet toward the equator(south around here). Otherwise, you would want head towards the equator for better dream and memory(again south).

My take is that it has to do with physics, not feng shui. Centrifugal forces and all.
