Oi. Let\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s see\u00e2\u20ac\u00a6 Well, After my last entry Tuesday came along and lo and behold the yoga class was that night. Mom of course sprung it on me at the last minute. There\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s nothing new. Meh. Well, we got ready, went, signed papers and did the class. It was okay.
\nI found I\u00e2\u20ac\u2122m not truly as flexible as I thought I was since my back is supposed to always be straight, but my Mom considered me very flexible. The teacher was nice and I picked up most of the moves well enough. She was impressed by my balance though. What can be said? The only yoga pose I ever really knew was The Tree and I really rather enjoyed it. It seems that despite I hadn\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t done it for a while, it still hasn\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t gone away.
\nI think my mom really came to understand what I mean about my inability to picture things in my mind, too. Around the end there is a long moment of meditation and keeping still. Mom told me during that time she envisioned the Rainbow Bridge and getting to see all her beloved pets from years past. I told her I couldn\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t do that. All I could see was the backs of my eyelids, or pretty much just black.
\nOddly, though, I can dream quite vividly. Colors can be amazing, views can be clear, there can be touch, smell and taste\u00e2\u20ac\u00a6 but when I wake up, I can never imagine it again. I can\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t see it in my head no matter how hard I try. I cannot recall the scents, the feelings or anything on a sensory level.\u00c2\u00a0 I can only remember it from a mental level\u00e2\u20ac\u00a6 A level I cannot even quite explain to myself. Well, anyway\u00e2\u20ac\u00a6 The class ended well enough.
\nThe rest of the week was pretty normal. Dusting was bumped up sooner due to not doing it Monday, but other than that\u00e2\u20ac\u00a6 pretty normal. Then Dad came home talking about a play and free tickets. Oi. Well even without my direct consent, I was apparently going anyway from what I found out last night. So much for letting me decide. Peh.
\nLet\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s see\u00e2\u20ac\u00a6 Saturday was pretty much the norm. I woke around eight thirty to nine, ate breakfast and stretched like mad since I was waiting on Mom for such a long time. We finally got out at nine thirty or so. We went to the park and walked her youngest dog, came back and then went on our hill walking with her older dog. During the walk I got into my religious discussions with her. It was a good talk, I believe.
\nAfter that I took a shower, did some chores and I think I took a brief nap since I didn\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t sleep soundly the night before. Soon enough the time for grocery shopping came along. Dad and I got what was needed, picked up some lunch from Subway, went home, unpacked the groceries and I ate.
\nWhile eating, my Dad decided to put together a cat fountain for me. I would have rather done it myself since he doesn\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t read all the directions like he is supposed to, but once he gets going, you cannot stop him. My cat tends to drink from the faucet. He\u00e2\u20ac\u2122ll only drink from a simple bowl of water when desperate and it isn\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t that much. Having seen cat fountain-style bowls before, I decided to look into them. Looking to the future when my eldest brother\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s wedding occurs, I knew he\u00e2\u20ac\u2122d be less healthy than the time we leave him come the time we return. I want him to live to twenty, damn it, so he needs to drink all the water necessary to keep his kidneys going.
\nWell, it was finally put together and it is working fine. With that settled, I decided to take a more official nap since evening time I\u00e2\u20ac\u2122d be dragged off to see the play. I woke up an hour and a half before we\u00e2\u20ac\u2122d need to leave. I ate a small dinner and then waited on my parents. My dad looked at me and asked, \u00e2\u20ac\u0153You\u00e2\u20ac\u02dcre wearing that?\u00e2\u20ac\u009d Meh. I was dressed how I am always dressed\u00e2\u20ac\u00a6 a tank top and a pair of jean shorts. It was going to be an outside theater during the middle of summer! I asked him, \u00e2\u20ac\u0153Yes. Do you have a problem with it?\u00e2\u20ac\u009d He denied, but then said the pants were fine but asked if I had a dressier shirt. Dad, you liar. Hello, eye roll.
\nI got up and told him I\u00e2\u20ac\u2122d look. My brother was staying over for a bit and I stopped to gripe about it to him. One, Dad asks if I\u00e2\u20ac\u2122d go but in truth didn\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t give a damn about my opinion anyway. So now I\u00e2\u20ac\u2122m going without a fuss mainly for them. Two, I found out it was an outside theater from my mom, which made the whole thing even less appealing to me, but I made no fuss and was still going without a fuss. Three, now my clothes aren\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t good enough? Damn it! Isn\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t it enough I\u00e2\u20ac\u2122m even going out?\u00c2\u00a0 Hell, in the past week I\u00e2\u20ac\u2122ve stepped out more than ever\u00e2\u20ac\u00a6 Oi.
\nWell, we finally got going at seven fifteen. Arriving around seven thirty, we got signed it, got the tickets, saw some kids art gallery thing, then went to a kitchen area where they were giving out popcorn, cake slices and root beer floats. Mom and I settled on water and popcorn. Eventually the guy who put the thing together and such made a speech and then we all headed out to the stage where many other people were already at.
\nOur seats were really good, We were around the very center. We settled down, I assisted Dad with his camera since part of the reason he was there was to take photos for his job. The play then went on its way.
\nIt was okay. The show was The Buddy Holly Story. Some of the songs I vaguely recognized and the cast was very good. Was I enthralled? No. Was I bored? Not really. Did I hate it? Nah. Did I like it? Pretty much. Admittedly I had slightly hoped that by the time the First Act was over the whole thing was over.
\nNo such luck. At that time it was nine thirty. We had another hour. Oi.
\nThe music was fine, the lead\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s ability to sing and perform was great and some of the side characters were nice to watch. Admittedly I found myself glancing to the sky often though. Near black, the moon was going into its third quarter and the stars could be made out. It was beautiful.
\nAnyway, the play finally ended at ten thirty or so. There was a brief encore and soon we headed out. On our way home we talked a bit about the show\u00e2\u20ac\u00a6 Mainly my mom and Dad, mind you. Then we got home around eleven. After seeing my parents off to bed, I just decided to go onto bed too. I\u00e2\u20ac\u2122d be out walking again the next morning after all.
\nWell screw that. Last night was a poor night for sleeping. I think I got one or two hours at best. The rest was tossing, turning, laying – or is it lying? – dealing with needy cats and so forth. I got up at nine, ate breakfast and waited on Mom to get ready. We left at nine forty-five. Oi.
\nTo our fortune, it seemed cooler today. Yeah, the park was hot as usual, but the hill climbing was accompanied by the faint breeze and shade from trees here and there.\u00c2\u00a0 Now we are back. I took a shower, dealt with the dishes and am now typing up this.
\nMeh. I don\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t like how much more busy his year has been compared to last years. Oh, well.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
