My First Non-Threshold Post ...

It's 1130 Saturday morning. I fell asleep on the couch last night, and missed my first time posting in the threshold hours. This will happen from time to time, I suppose.

As alluded to in the last post, I stayed up on Skype with The Dear Boy until around 330am, talking mostly about The Muse, and about delicate family relations with regards to cross country virtual Reiki shares. (I can't believe I typed that out loud.) It was lovely, but it also just highlights how far away he is, and how much I wish that weren't so.

Friday morning dawned much quicker than I would have liked, around 730am, with the snow already beginning to come down. It took until mid-afternoon for it to really get going, at least allowing Bug to get home from work / comics without too much trouble. I didn't really relax until E got home after 6, by which time it was getting dangerous, but once everyone was home, I was happy for that snow day feeling.

One thing I wasn't happy about was the yogaland / kirtan drama ramping up again, unfortunately to a new level. The studio where we were set to play tonight canceled our show prematurely, which was annoying enough, but in the same breath they admitted they weren't canceling the days' yoga classes. Only us. Needless to say, this is concerning.

There is a sickness that permeates the wellness community in that town. Instead of all pulling together, the level of dysfunction on quite regular display frankly appalls me. As unhappy as I am for the people who come to our shows, nevermind the money I'm losing this weekend, everything that is happening is valuable intel, not just about this particular studio, but about how I'd like this aspect of my career to progress moving forward.

Since last night's gig was canceled as well (that one, with the weather, was at least justified) the three of us had a quiet dinner and started watching Miyazaki's Spirited Away, which though I love all his movies, really clicked with me this time. (Kamaji is an alchemist ... I'm telling you.) Unfortunately, due to my four hour night of sleep, I started getting dopey and we had to stop halfway through.

So here it is. Saturday morning. With no gig and no plan. But there is a vibe. Maybe today can be something. We'll see ...
