TAKING IT TO HEART II
Correspondence with my GP:
"hi, dr. s_____, saw dr. p_____ today, he described my cholesterol as "not great" but he would rather not put me on any statins. i agree. probably losing 20-25 lbs would help.
The GP's response:
"Hi Can you do it?"
As though I couldn't do anything I put my mind to.

TAKING IT TO HEART
Saw the cardiologist today. He sez my cholesterol is "not great." This is not the first time anyone has said anything about it. Probably losing 20 lbs would not be a bad idea.

EXTRA CREDIT
Turned in my extra credit project. Shirl is pleased with it. I'm relieved to have it literally out of my hands and on the wall.

HOW GREAT THOU ART
O Lord my God,
When I in awesome wonder,
Consider all the worlds
Thy Hands have made;
I see the stars,
I hear the rolling thunder,
Thy power throughout the universe displayed.
Then sings my soul,
My Saviour God, to Thee,
How great Thou art,
How great Thou art.
Then sings my soul,
My Saviour God, to Thee,
How great Thou art,
How great Thou art!
When through the woods, and forest glades I wander,
And hear the birds sing sweetly in the trees.
When I look down, from lofty mountain grandeur
And see the brook, and feel the gentle breeze.
Then sings my soul,
My Saviour God, to Thee,
How great Thou art,
How great Thou art.Then sings my soul,
My Saviour God, to Thee,
How great Thou art,
How great Thou art!
And when I think, that God,
His Son not sparing;
Sent Him to die, I scarce can take it in;
That on the Cross, my burden gladly bearing,
He bled and died to take away my sin.
Then sings my soul, My Saviour God, to Thee,
How great Thou art,
How great Thou art.
Then sings my soul,
My Saviour God, to Thee,
How great Thou art,
How great Thou art!
When Christ shall come, with shout of acclamation,
And take me home, what joy shall fill my heart.
Then I shall bow, in humble adoration,
And then proclaim: "My God, how great Thou art!"
Then sings my soul,
My Saviour God, to Thee,
How great Thou art,
How great Thou art.
Then sings my soul,
My Saviour God, to Thee,
How great Thou art,
How great Thou art!
This afternoon I attended the funeral of one of the creators of All Things Considered.
We sang this hymn.
To hear the midi version click here.
Interestingly enough he seemed to put family and friends over his artistic and professional accommplisments.
In less than four months I have experienced the death of seven people age 44 to 84. Except for maybe one or two they all died too young and/or unnecessarily.

Not much going on at school. The trip to the Walter Reed Museum was cancelled so to make up the hours I went to the clinic and worked on my extra-credit project.

G-D HAS A SENSE OF HUMOUR
As I mentioned Tuesday, a lady in Bethesda said her son found my keys. I thought G-d was cutting me a break, saying "she's stuck in a job she hates and earns no money, her sex life sucks, at least give her her keys back. This lasted one day. Yesterday my car died. G-d probably thought "that's enough comforting for one day. Now I'll kill her car. (It was resuscitated to the tune of over $800.00.
Kind of like when Lightning died. He had been such a comfort to me when Dad and Grandma died, I guess G-d thought "that's enough comforting. Now I'll take her pig.

ST. ANTHONY ROCKS!
AS I mentioned Saturday, I lost my keys Thursday -- car, condo, work, mailbox, massage space. This happened three years ago and immediately I had the whole set replaced. It turned out I had left them in the bathroom and the woman who found them didn't bother asking to whom they belonged. This year I figured it was the same thing, so I didn't bother having new ones made. By Sunday night there was no sign of them so Mom and I both said prayers to St. Anthony. Next morning CVS called to say someone had found them. St. Anthony rules!

GOATS AND CALVES
Yesterday's epistle was about goats and calves. I listened to that about as much as I do to anything else and immediately thought "soleus, plantaris, gastrocnemius."

BLUE SHADOW
Or, "this is not your mother's blue eye shadow. Since our uniforms are the same colour as those US Air attendants wear, I figured my face needed some brightening up. I took a makeup artistry course at First Class and learned something new. A couple days later I bought a blue shadow stick at Mac and a matching eyeliner at Blue Mercury . This is the first time I have worn blue eye makeup since 1988. My next mission will be to buy green.

WEEK SEVEN
After last week this week has been kind of an anticlimax. For the next couple weeks all I have to do is physically show up for one class a week. Then next morning I go back to work and have to deal with Shamu and the other assholes, which only strengthens my resolve to become a CMT and get the hell out of here.

ANIMAL HOUSE
After finals last week Jay let us send out for pizza and watch videos. I figured not everyone likes Woody Allen or Tobey Maguire and John Irving is an acquired taste. And not everyone is as fascinated with the older woman-younger man thing (The Graduate , Harold and Maude , Tadpole , Something’s Gotta Give , The Door in the Floor ) as I am. So I brought Animal House because the good guys win out. After about ten minutes of Princess Bride we decided we’d rather watch Animal House. I explained to Lida that there would be four-letter words, bare breasts and exposed bottoms. Then we got to the part in which Tim Matheson takes a dildo out of his bag. Lida had never seen or even heard of a dildo so we had to explain that to her.
The first time I saw Animal House I was about about 15 or 16 and it convinced me there was SOME college in the continental United States which would accept me. I saw it again in undergraduate school and again in grad school and both times I knew it would be OK. The dorm in which I lived looked like those on the Faber College campus. And Faber College was supposed to be in Pennsylvania. I was taking statistics at the time. Enough said.

MASSAGE THERAPIST, HEAL THYSELF
In one of our text books we learn about the difference between "healing" and "curing." "Curing" is a passive thing in which the patient is completely passive. "Healing" is a process in which the patient takes an active part.
I guess I have to learn to accept healing as well as to give it, even though I have been told "there's nothing wrong with you or "there are other people worse off than you." Part of that includes learning when to say "no." And how to say "my back hurts like a Mofo. I need a massage right now."

THE NUMBER OF THE BEAST
Today is 6-6-06. It's supposed to be a really evil day. Grandpap Kepics died on 6-6-66. The original Omen had to be one of the most scary-assed movies I have ever seen.

The pictures from Puerto Rico arrived. The one in front of the Golden Door is kind of grainy but some of the others are great. One of my male friends called Sunday night requesting pictures. He can have himself a field day with these. And these. And these.

I HAVE A PLAN
A conversation between me and Sproul:
Me: I'm gonna go to Starbucks to eat animal fat and compensate for my shortcomings. This will cause me to pack in more weight and feel worse about myself, thus perpetuating the cycle.
Sproul: Yes, but at least you have a plan.
I feel better already.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY BABY
Baby Pandora is supposedly two years old today. As on all birthdays and holidays she gets spoiled with all the veggies she can eat. Mom says make sure I give some to Pippin, too. As though I didn't give them both some fresh veggies every day.

TAKIN' IT EASY
"Take it easy
Don't let the sound of your own wheels drive you crazy
Lighten up while you still can don't even try to understand
Just find a place to make your stand and take it easy"
Jackson Browne/Glenn Frey
And that's what I plan to do -- take it easy. I am enjoying the nice weather and catching up on some much-needed sleep.

Wow, these six weeks have flown by. I aced the final and will be going onto the next mod after the Fourth of July weekend. Jay will be teaching another class andmy classmates will either stay in the morning class or graduate. It doesn't pay to get too attached to people or things.

CHILDHOOD TRAUMA RELIVED
For extra credit we are making flashcards. I hated them as a child -- it made me feel tard - like. In second grade Brian Gallagher made fun of his little sister, Kitty, who needed flashcards. Still, it's 100 points.
Every morning I drive past my old house, my kindergarten, my dentist's office and the office of a deceased doctor who should never have been allowed to treat children.Then in the afternoon I drive past my elementary school and the church in which I made my first communion, confession and confirmation.

SPELLING BEE II
Saw video from the Scripps-Howard Spelling Bee on TV this morning. They showed some kid misspelling "sesamoid." She looked older than 14, the maximum age allowed. The anchorbabe told the viewers what it meant. G-ddamnit, I should be on TV, not them. I didn't starve myself, get my nose fixed and take singing, dancing and acting lessons to spend my day talking to retarded hicks and massaging horny fat guys.
