I've been helping a friend get certified in a new body working technique called myokinesthetics. It is intense trigger-point work as taught by a chiropractor. She's a licensed massage therapist, and this is her continuing education work.
I jumped at the chance because I always want a massage! However, making $36/day, I can't afford them. So, I'm happy to help - it's a win-win situation.
The by-products are some other stuff coming up. I'm really paying attention to my food and what goes in. I'm really in touch with my diet right now. I'm also getting right with myself about my emotions. Things are getting triggered by these trigger points, for sure!
My mom has been in my head lately. I'm hearing her voice, and hearing her words. I'm hearing her singing. I miss her music, and her intelligence. I'm angry because there were no notices anywhere when she passed - not in Los Angeles, Carson City, or Sacramento. She had friends, colleagues, co-workers and fans. And nobody knows she is gone.
And I signed up to do Story Corps. http://www.storycorps.org
I want to tell her story, but there's no one who knew her in my circle - except my sister who is in California.
So, this is my life today. Money is extremely tight. I'm getting later and later on my bills. I hate the feeling, but at least I'm not giving up yet.

Updates...
The plumber hasn't been here yet. I heard from Habitat and checked in late Friday, so I'm sure I'll hear back from them on Monday, if not actually see a plumber this week...
One of my neighbors used the weed eater on the front around the culvert. That at least lets the rain and runoff have a way to get to the drain system. I'm not sure which one did it, but I'll be nice to both, and check around, just to be sure...
It was a dead end on the tape of mom's voice. That's a shame, really. When she died, my sis and I checked into finding her ASCAP holdings, and copyrights, and the search was more $$ than we could afford. I'll just have to keep my memory of her singing alive the best I can.
I've made another of those items I made and sent to my sis. I mailed the package last week, so as soon as I hear she's received it, I'll post the photos of the crocheted items and the pattern I've used.
The room is ready! I've posted photos and the ad for a tenant. I still have to get a real bed, but I can do that when it's rented, before they move in. I had 2 responses, and I'll call tonight.
Work is still elusive. I'm pursuing Title V this coming week.
I should get my Food Stamp allotment in the next couple of days, but that won't cover cat food. The Unemployment Office is supposed to give me a $25 gas voucher in the morning on my way out.
I don't know how to cover the car insurance or my med refills, but I'm sure something will present itself. If nothing else, I will go to day labor to get the money I need by doing whatever they present to me. It may take 2 days to get the amount I need, but if I can do 2 days this week, then God can help me with the physical pain in the evenings.
I'm turning my weight issue over to God. I can't do it alone. Now it's time for Step 4. "Embrace the process to learn about my motives" will have to be my mantra for the next couple of weeks, while I do all this....
