  Yeah I need to find a new bead shop so that I can get ahold of more materials
to finish the hemp necklaces that I have in progress.  It would probably be a
good idea to find out when that knitting class takes place at the library, too.
Maybe it's something that I can do while D is in school now that he's back
there for the session.

  Always a struggling point for me, but one that I am constantly trying to work
on.  Right now I think I need to try to get a little bit of a better hold on
the meditation that I've slipped up on.  I kind of let it drop by the wayside
while I was recovering from my injuries; it always fit in perfectly before or
at the end of my physical training, so I've dropped yet another coping
mechanism.  I've started getting with it again lately, but as with training the
body, the time off takes its toll.

  You are absolutely right on all fronts.

  Well body language usually at least gives me clues as to what people I'm
dealing with like to hear and what they don't like to hear.  I'd love to have
that advantage with her, but you may be very right as far as her not being very
reasonable in person.  I know the office IT job that I had always had a few
unpleasant people like that to deal with.  'Course there one of them was my
direct boss/former burglar.

 NB> I KNOW that I have lots more messages to answer... one at a time...

  Yep.  I'm workin' on it, too.  :)  As always, more soon.  ;)
