hooplah

i went to a baby shower today, for my evil twin sister. we were born the same day. she's 7 or 8 hours older than me. we met on the first day of diagnosis class at bastyr, i was doing a practice intake on her and she said her birthday, and i was like: "what the hell, that's my birthday!" then we found alot of other strange similarities between us.. and our families. it was neat. anyway.. so now she's way pregnant. i haven't seen her since we graduated, which was nearly a year ago now. it was great though. and there are 4 girls from my class who are pregnant now. as alison would say--What the butt?? it was really really cool to see them all, and i want to see them all more.. but anyway. no one makes food like those folks i went to school with. no one.. .

i think it's a little bitter-sweet though, seeing them.. because it really pulls to the front of my mind that i'm *not* doing the thing i am educated to do. the thing that makes me happy to do. so if anyone who reads this has any ideas of a good space to rent here in town in an alternative health environment??? i'm interested in hearing it.

Brett-- I doubt that advertising in your blog is the best way to go about getting a space to rent. Maybe the most passive way, but probably not the best.

I don't know of a place but ... Harvey Firestone (I believe) used to schedule himself an hour a day of alone time with his door closed, no calls, and he'd just think. He'd think how to make things better in his job or life or whatever.
Maybe if you could discipline yourself to devote some time on your schedule to researching locations each week rather than letting 'busy things other people want' take up your calendar it'd help???
I get so wrapped up in little crap sometimes that I end up panicing at the end of the week getting the big stuff done ... I tried to schedule myself alone time like Harvey but ended up always falling asleep...
Love, Dad

touche shannon. indeed. it may not be obvious that i have been doing more than just this. i'm just venting my frustration at what seems to be taking a back seat to what. my career, it would appear, is being shifted to the side in order to pay the bills that my other job satisfies. this seems to be entirely common. i just don't want to end up forgetting my whatnot and that leading to trouble later on. but no. i have an idea. and it may work. i'll keep everyone posted.
