on my way home

i see these trees
every day, and they give me hope
and happiness, knowing i will spend
some free evening time
in the company of my furry friends

trees on Murphy Canyon Road

today i fell

on my knee
and i was afraid
then in pain
then ashamed
later angry
and lastly, confused
what a day!
but then i found
this little old song

Juicing

last Sunday I felt awful
I almost fainted at the laundromat
sweaty, clammy feeling
have I been eating too many carbs? YES
have I been not exercising? YES
so after the scare and some blood tests
I am back to something my beloved mother taught me
many years ago: Juicing!
so instead of my morning coffee with toast
I am blending and / or juicing:
Kale
Pineapple or carrots or apples (or all)
Celery
Lime
Cucumbers
Parsley

the concoction is delicious!
is refreshing and feels like a blessing to my belly
and system in the mornings

I still drink coffee, once I get to the office
and I have a 'normal' lunch

when I come home, I have another juicy wonderful
refreshing magical green concoction
and then dinner, usually I am less full after all those
veggies and marvelous micro-nutrients

Only 5 days, and my skin looks clearer
my hair shinier and I have more energy
the power of the green veggies!!
Give it a try!

I started blending the ingredients
and now I got a juicer too, a Breville
since the juice has no fiber, I am doing
a mix of juicing and blending
I choose to juice green veggies and to blend fruits

OK, did I say I still have my coffee at the office?
just not first thing on the tummy on the AM

Good Friday

I am Catholic and it's Good Friday,
even though I don't agree with everything the Catholic church says,
I think Jesus was one of the coolest people ever...
celebrating my Good Friday with
J. S. Bach's Jesus bleibet meine Freude



and eating Hot Cross buns from Bread and Cie.

Hot Cross buns are a lovely tradition

next book: The Brief Wondrous Life of Oscar Wao

I am reading the final pages of Murakami's 1Q84
I already fill the void this book will leave
3 volumes and over 1,000 pages, it has been with me for a while
but I already have my eyes on a new prospect
Junot Díaz's  The Brief Wondrous Life of Oscar Wao

here a review by I Me My
 http://iditis.blogspot.com/2008/03/junot-diazs-brief-wondrous-life-of.html

the day i thought i would die

last week i was so sick
first i thought it was only allergies
then i realized i had a bad cold
on Friday i was finally feeling better
so i went to the dentist
by Saturday i was so sick again!
fever fever and a horrible pain on the back of my neck
i battled the fever and pain over the weekend
i was so sick i felt so exhausted that i couldn't
drag myself to the emergency room on Sunday
and i was a feeling a bit better
Monday arrived and pull strength from dunno where
and i made it to work
just to feel awful throughout the day
the pain on the neck was so horrible
and the fever continued
but yet the stiff neck was the worst
a co-worker even mentioned meningitis!
i freaked out and in spite of not finding
an appointment with a doctor
i pushed for one with a physician's assistant
this lady was actually very through
better than many doctor's i've been too
she checked my neck, and even if i had fever
it wasn't very high anymore
she thought what i have is a mix of really strong sinus infection
and muscle strains 'cause of posture, computer use
and stress, probably from the dentist's chair too

anyway, i am on a bunch of medications
but apparently, i will make it OK
so after all, today wasn't the day i died
it's 11.32pm, so i have just 28 minutes more
to make it to tomorrow
i really hope i will
