Tatjana’s Day
January 24th is Tatiana’s Day in Russia and celebrated in Eastern Europe as well. How fitting that Saint Tatiana was the patron saint of students, considering T is director of the newbies at school.

Daily affirmation
January 25, 2009 Right now, I am still and know that I am a powerful co-creator. All my dreams are within my grasp. I see them; I feel them; I live them. I am grateful.

Wolfie, Loca, and Arlene
This is our protection here. We could get geese as they say noise is the biggest deterrent against crime, but dogs are just more fun.

Dinner among friends
Friends came for dinner last night and were quite alarmed about the rash of crime that has erupted in our neighborhood. They live uptown and one couple brought a visiting friend from El Lay. I told them that this is relatively a safe neighborhood and they have more to fear Uptown in the Isle of Denial than here because this seems to be the work of one psychotic. Well turns out the police were able…

Bagpipes in the midst
There has been a string of emails flying about the sexual predator and now the car jacker, both brazen criminals and while I’m writing about them and reading about them, I hear the guy across the bayou playing his bagpipes – a peaceful sound against the backdrop of nonsense violence.

Victory laps
One thing I learned when I was going through behavior modification for my panic attacks is to stop and take a victory lap when you achieve something you have been striving for or even for little things that happen in your life. So here is the end of the week victory lap: 1) Managed to get fingerprinted for the adoption even though it required going to east hell. 2) Took time from work to watch…

It’s only money, right?
Well in these days of fiscal responsibility, Ms. Wolfie is proving to be an expensive little tart. She had all her vaccines and xrays and such today and a big big bath. But turns out she has heartworms – we sent off for a more positive test but most probably she does. Which means, about $700 to $1000 in treatment. But you look in her eyes and she says I’m worth it. Whatyagonnado? So Wolfie…

The Pelican Rodeo
All along the lagoon in City Park are signs that say NO FISHING as the park wants to repopulate for a Bass Fishing Rodeo that is coming up end of March. Only pelicans can’t read, so while a few months ago it was man against fowl in competition for these tasty finned creatures, now fowl is winning by a long shot. This morning, a swarm of pelicans, both white and brown, were shucking and diving…

Open vistas and seeing visions
Yoga was about opening your mind to different thinking. Reminds me of the signs around town that say “What if you are wrong?” Then later, working out the kinks in this body, my therapist had a vision, on my left she saw an old wooden screen door swinging back and forth, and on my right, she saw a country grocery store with a door that had a bell on it, and the door kept opening…
