In which there’s more, but not much more… because I didn’t write it. Most nights, I slept with my windows wide open and could hear the surf. It was glorious. If I left the hall early at night, I could hear the bhajans slightly while lying in bed, and sometimes in the early mornings I […]
In which I use my passport! And spend eighty hours in airports and airplanes! I’ve been thinking about writing this post for most of a month now, because I wasn’t sure how, since it wasn’t really a touristy trip. I went to see my Sadguru, an enlightened person, an avatar, for spiritual purposes, and most […]
In which I’m on vacation, as of Saturday at 6:10pm when I clocked off work. I’m pretty much packed! Had to buy new luggage, because ours were a few inches too big for the new carry-on sizes and I don’t want to check anything. New suitcase is green, within parameters for cabin luggage on Air […]
In which I’m going to use my passport! I’ve got the month of July off work, and I’m going to Amritapuri. I complained about the tedium of shopping for flights, so my dad offered to do it for me. Today I’ve bought some items for the trip, including a rain poncho, bug repellent, and a […]
In which I’m blogging because I feel obligated to do so. Happy holidays! I logged in because it’s well past time to blog again, but, well. Eh. Not much going on. I work the same job, live in the same house, am in the same relationship, eat the same foods. Since my last post one […]
In which I slept until one o’clock. The Yeti is off at Microsoft for a week-long tech conference, and I have a cold or something. Started out yesterday feeling tired after a good night’s sleep, swollen glands, and a vaguely sore throat. Went to work, came home. Woke up today feeling so incredibly meh I […]
In which there’s an update. I used to find it much easier to post regularly when I both had things to bitch about and felt fine about bitching about things. But now I think it’s not that great a habit, and also whatever I might have to complain about is less a problem and more […]
In which I knock out an entire to-do list. I’m not sure what I intended to do Tuesday, no doubt I’d had a mental list, but what I ended up doing was a list of things literally more than a decade in the making. I bought my Amma doll in the late 90’s. I’ve had […]
In which it was deeply relaxing and refreshing. With the world on varying levels of lock down, Amma’s stuck in Amritapuri for the time being, and Her tours, including the summer North American Tour, are postponed (if not cancelled). So She’s directed senior disciple talks and local satsang (“a spiritual discourse or sacred gathering”) meetings […]
In which there’s some cash. Homeless chick rode up to me on her bike during my walk to work today, very conciliatory, sorry to bother, said she’d just woken up in the park, mid-afternoon (I assume she was awake most of the dark hours, perhaps to move on, perhaps to watch her stuff), only had […]
