well, it's been close to an eon since i last wrote here. so to catch up. my first session as an agility instructor draws to a close tomorrow evening unless the ever elusive rain puts in an appearance. i believe there's a better chance today than tomorrow, but who knows. it's been fun and rather informative for me. i now have a better grasp on what i don't know. not that i suddenly know what i don't know, i just have a better feel for it.

critter update. laurens is thrilled that it's acorn season. i bring them home for him and they skitter around on the hardwood floors while he chases after them. and i pulled out a new stuffed ball with a tail and ears toy for him. i have no idea what else to call it. it has tiny little felt ears and those are the first things to be attacked and subsequently destroyed. dix is recovering from an ear infection and it barely slowed her down of course. she's been loving the cooler mornings when we actually have them--great for tennis ball fetching. she's also been on several good hikes lately where she manages to find mud even in this drought. she must be part pig or hippo since she automatically heads for the mud to lie down in to cool off.

i'm listening to caroline myss's energy anatomy cds and i'm halfway through. really interesting stuff. and i'm reading some good ya fiction about dragons. i'm not running, but i am getting to jazzercise. i'm hoping to get reiki II training sometime in the next few months. i'm also hoping to up my receipt of bodywork and start getting a session a week, whether it's massage or reiki or thai yoga massage, etc. and a painting class has to be in the works for me soon. after seeing the morris louis exhibit at the hirschhorn in dc, woo, do i want to be doing some big colorful stuff. and i'm just dying to get travelling. lots to get done. time to make some more lists. i thought i'd be doing the artist's way with marg, but she declined. and i have made it so far as to be back at my morning pages, just not stressing if it's not every morning.

and that's about it for now.
