What's new today?

#1 Well, after puking up the falafel i made last night, i tried a new format for cooking it that does not involve deep frying - just baking flat cakes on the griddle.  Will let you know how it comes out.

#2 I made absolutely no attempt to drink diet soda today.

#3 At my tae kwon do class, for the first time ever, I was instructed to teach someone else an entire poomsae, or form.  i also really worked on my side kicks and finally got my right leg ones to hit dead on.  i used to hit the target, but with the slightly inverted side of my foot, so i didn't get the power.

#4 I told my counselor linda that i am trying to rise above my perceptions of reality.  i told her about peter walker and his proposed four responses which she was interested in, i told her about the things i didn't see before - that m had lied to me constanlty and i believed she never lied even though i know research says that people lie an average of 7 times per hour.  i told her about walker's descriptions of emotional flashbacks and how i now realized that i've been having constant ones for years.  we discussed quantum physics and the limitations of knowledge.  i thought she'd tell me to get a new job, away from m, but she actually said it might be time to consider rising above reality by finding a way to deal head on with m while protecting myself.  she said there will always be an m to contend with and it might be time to stop running.  so i asked for her to help me learn how to do TAPAS at home, as that is extremely effective.

#5 My daughter Ainye and i made gluten free brownie bites and served them up with scoops of vanilla ice cream.  Took a latenight walk for wine and ice cream with my husband.  i am so in love with the two of them. 

#6 Practiced tae kwon do in the backyard, even though i was a bit embarassed.  Really liked the outside feature a lot.

All in all, it was a great day.
