My official Roshi certificate!
today is a red letter in my life! I received from my Master Roshi my official "Roshi (Zen Priest) with Inka" certification! not only that but found that i also received my black belt (1st dan) in Shin Sin Do Kung Fu! My Master is retiring as an acting Roshi. i did not know this. but since I am His Dharma Successor in the lineage of Gao-Tzu (and others), He also gave me His beautiful Buddha for my altar AND His robe! What honours! i bow humbly and gratefully to Him and to my other Masters for their dharma talks, their patience, and their kindness to me (aka "little weedhopper", lol)!
pres :moonstars: now officially Roshi Kellee Wu-Xian Lin Gao! :candle: |

After having an "extended" weekend and Roomie not going to work Monday and Tuesday... Today at 6am, I woke to a dark, quiet house, tried to focus on the clock...listened for Roomie stirring around...No Roomie found, jumped up and ran into Roomie's room shouting "Your alarm didn't go off!! You're gonna be late!" Roomie: :blink: :blink: huh? what? Me: You're alarm didn't go off!! You have to be at work at 7?? Roomie: :blink: :blink: no, I don't go in till 10 Me: :doh: So I leave feeling bad and curl back in my bed after heart attack averted...fluff my pillow, tuck back under my really warm blanket, say a little thank you prayer for my warm purple Eeyore PJs and proceed to cover my eyes with my Pink Panther bathrobe to block out any light... I quickly accomplished a VERY deep sleep....lights out with Pink Panther blindfold! I have no idea what time it was, but I woke to my Roomie standing next to me, asking "How did you make that stuff?" Me: with only one eye uncovered :blink: :blink: huh what? Roomie: How did you make that stuff? Me: What stuff? Is that the same as thangs?? Roomie: That stuff you make me for breakfast? Me: :seeingstars: I cover my eyes again and describe how to make his omelet with stuff in the middle Off to work Roomie goes after breakfast.... After another REALLY DEEP sleep, with my bones aching, I get up, wrap up in my robe, take the dogs out one at a time on a leash to keep them contained in the Puppy Poop Area, FROZE my ass off waiting on Tashi because she refused to "go" while on a leash... go back inside to thaw out and feed all the critters....
after about 20 miles later and dodging other drivers who neglected to remove the HUGE sheets of ice from the top of their vehicles...
Roomie beeps in...hit ignore 'cause I was trying to call Employer back.... Roomie beeps in again....pick up, tell him I'll call him back... 2 seconds later, Employer beeps in... got as many details as possible between phone cutting out, CONFIRMED start date... :happyjump: With 10 minutes to spare, manage to complete last box and ANNOY clerk as we processed postage.... Get to car.... sigh relief, thinking I am nearly home.... While sitting in car, get text from Roomie "please go to 'small town' and get me a BBQ sandwich, working late" I respond: I'm in small town, want me to deliver it? No answer
start making my dinner of homemade 'mater soup and 'tater bread grilled cheese sandwiches Roomie arrives home... with his BBQ sandwich and tea in hand
log on here to make note of a HUGE DAY FILLED WITH ACCOMPLISHMENTS and very happy, proud, exciting moments!!! sit here thinking my knee really hurts from CRACKING it on table corner this morning....thinking I'm surprised I didn't break it.... SIGH!!! :thud: :thud: Jo??????? May I please have another Triple???? With extra cream? |
Got up (seriously) 4pm in afternoon
organized food for work week (I like things ready to go) cleaned bath tub/shower/bathroom sink made plans with friends for tomorrow ordered my cuttlebug embossing/die cutting machine that is about it |
I worked a short shift, came home in record time, had a late lunch with my honey, had some time to myself, watched some Eureka episodes with my honey, had dinner, watched Biggest Loser, and am playing online for now, until bed.
|
my biggest accomplishment today was reading the trials and groovyness of Sweet's day! (That was a long post, Sweet) lol.
I'm SO happy for you and the new job! Just like you, I'm proud too. I know how hard you worked and waited to get it. I don't like waiting for KNUCKLEHEADS either. Just so you know, MY favorite flavor of coffee is, coffee flavor. Congratulations, sweetie Sweet. |

Let's see.....yesterday is kind of a blur at the moment....but I know that I got one kid off to school, packed lunches, did a ton of work for my job, cleaned cat box, made dinner, helped with the printing out of articles and pictures for Rooster's history fair project, fought with an uncooperative computer....
...and the best part was getting some guys to show up and look at the shed. I listed it on freecycle, and they say they'll be hauling it out of there today or Friday. :cheer: Once that's gone, I'll feel like I can start doing up the back yard...staining the short fence that goes around 2 sides of the pool so it matches the privacy fence, pouring some decorative concrete (with seashells pressed in) to extend our patio, doing some landscaping.....yay! |

You're THE BEST!!! Knew I could count on you! Ohhhhh that will make such a GREAT breakfast treat.....especially with feeling hungover from all the dancing last night and my "purple-gesic" meds. |
I tried to go back to sleep when I woke up this morning at nine, but that didn't work. So, after laying there for a couple of hours, I rolled out of bed, unloaded the dishwasher, and got ready for the gym. I had my banana and rfpb and spent about 2 hours at the gym, give or take. I came home and fixed lunch for myself. Ebon was already working then and had eaten something already. After lunch, I showered and washed my hair and played on here for a bit.
Then, I got some laundry ready to go and walked it down to the laundry room. Back in the apartment, I started preparing my dinner. Turkey meatloaf! Jenni-o 7% fat lean ground turkey, onion, mushroom, jalopeno and bbq sauce all mashed up together and baked until super yummy! I usually put bell peppers in it but we're out and the store was out, so I left it out. :blink: I pulled the laundry out to hang the undryables and moved the rest over, got back on here for a bit, looked for something for work tomorrow, went back down for the rest of the dried laundry and came back and put it away. I know there's a couple of other things but I just can't remember them now. |
I got up
did the cat box (oh the glorious joy) a bit of house work showered went to gas station, beer store, and Dicks sporting goods store (guess who that was for) then to starbucks for hot chocolate then home then starbucks (short story) then ACMoore (yeah it is like crack) home fed cats made a sandwich tried my new craft stuff looked at and read about 100 sock patterns chose one and started to knit my first sock upon getting the hang of using 4 needles at the same time it is pretty easy! played on here and watched some tv going to bed soon hope to actually get more stuff done tomorrow by stuff I mean the oh giddy me up crap that has to be done |

i pulled in a runner.
feet planted for the time being. |
I made it to my 'almost' 4 day weekend (I'm working a few hours on Monday)! Now I just have to figure out how I want to spend it.
|
I got up, ate, got ready for work, commuted in the rain, worked for nine hours about half of which was spent in the rain, made a bank run for the office, commuted again (still raining but in the dark this time and on poorly lit roadways), got home, checked the mail, ate dinner, chatted with my honey, played on here and now we're watching a semi-horrible movie with Meg Ryan and Tim Hutton. Tim's duct taped to the toilet with his pants down (by Meg) and Meg is tied and dumped on the bathroom floor (by the yard guy who invited his friends over and is robbing them as they lay duct taped in the upstairs bathroom). It's complicated. :blink:

yesterday
Sunday I finished a book i've been reading .
worked out , did a total 19 miles on the treadmill for the week. finished a hat I've been making , and started a new one. |
The weekend was a mix of errands and relaxing...so that was a nice change. :cheesy:
Saturday we bailed on the kids, went out to breakfast and to the beach for a walk and shell-hunting. No outstanding finds, but we've started to pick up the shells we usually leave behind that are cool, but broken (yes...we're shell snobs :giggle: ). The broken ones are for our patio project...to press into the concrete and set the vibe for our beach theme. Yesterday we did a little shopping at Lowe's to work a few little projects forward...weatherstripping, etc., and I found the blinds I want to get for Rooster's room but have to measure a bit differently and then go back and order. I also accomplished signing up for unlimited NetFlix movies through the Rooster's PS3....a month free trial, then 7.99 a month for all we care to watch. I envision lots of evenings curled up on the couch with popcorn. :) |
I walked 1.5 miles with a couple a hills in 27 minutes outside in 30 weather. That's a good way to kick off my morning. |
So far I went to the grocery store!!
|
- getting ALMOST caught up on laundry from the weekend yay! - dusting, dishwasher, floors & tidying around the house - taking 2 steps forward when i really felt like taking 1 step back - digging out my 10 self esteem commandments from my course back in 2008.. - brushing Gibson (my kitty cat) =^. .^= - setting up my sparkpeople website & starting a new blog - doing an early morning, easy workout - i'm still sore in places from my fall. i feel pretty accomplished! |
Fed the outside dogs and put down new cedar shavings for them in their favorite sunny spot.
Walked and played with the inside dogs. Made coffee in my new coffeemaker. (without making a mess) Worked online doing some research. Did laundry. Currently working on re-organizing and re-arranging my room to make it easier to get ready for work and not stumble over furniture. Making a small good-will donation bag. (I've purged so many "unnecessary" belongings over the past year, that I don't have much else to get rid of... but today's efforts are focused on clothes...those I haven't worn in a long time or never worn.) Talked to Mom and my Aunt M about my childhood immunization records. (Mom can't remember which State we were in when I got my immunizations :blink:) Organized some small gifts to send to my nieces soon. Later... I plan on cleaning the bathroom, vacuuming my room and ironing some work clothes. If I have time, make a trip to town for a large picture frame to hang a nice picture of my nieces above the desk in my room? |
what I accomplished today.....
got 3 boxes of clothes ready to get donated
cleaned oven worked out didn't buy anything |
~ Dishes
~ Made up all beds ~ Picked up My sister from school ~ Got her undressed and set up the computer, got juice & snack for her ~ Put her clothes in laundry, and school stuff away ~ Made phone calls to dentist and eye doctor ~ Cleaned cat litter box ~ Got mail |
On very little sleep (my own fault, this time), I went to work early and rented a couple of units and the truck a couple of times. I caught my manager up to date on all the havoc I've been causing the past three days on my own. I prowled the grounds and scooped some poop (I know, I know...my life is so glamourous!) and got out of work just before 2pm. I stopped off at a lovely place and viewed some places to rent and drooled all over myself. Fabulous! I wish we could get them, but it looks like it won't work. I made it home and made a snack for Ebon and myself and changed out of my work clothes and caught him up to date with what I learned about the apartments I saw. We both did some calculations and made some calls and it STILL looks like we make too much. I signed in here and toodled around a bit then started dinner. I'm now back here after washing up some of the dishes and putting the rest in the dishwasher and rinsing the recycling out. Oh! I got a text from my manager saying the interim manager tweaked my schedule and, if I work longer tomorrow, I can have three days off this week (!!!) IN A ROW!!!!!! OMG, OMG, OMG!!!! I said, "That would be nice." of course.
:freak: Yeah, that's about it for me today. :whoop: |
--brought stray kitteh (Sammi!) I took in for spade -- she's doing fine!
--got to work and taught some pretty intense political poems (students were receptive and awesome!) --organized scattered notes in literacy binder --went to Dept Head meeting and contributed --edited a personal statement for student who is trying to enter medical school --happy got through the day w/o getting called on accidentally missing a meeting last week |
I started my research paper on financial versus non-financial incentives and how it affects organizational behavior.
I tackled a project I've been avoiding at work and it wasn't that bad. Survived a 2 1/2 hour long meeting (by working on my paper). Made a yummy dinner and starting packing for my work trip! At least I'll be able to get a ton of writing done from my hotel this week. ;) |
