Ahh.. weekends. Time for blessed sleep. Or.. not, in my case :oP Saturday night, I woke up every half hour for a good six hours, then every hour for two more until my alarm went off. I reset my alarm and got two real hours of sleep before I had to get up to get to a rehearsal for “Insomniac.” I wasn’t nearly as amused by that then as I am now, but I wasn’t nearly as awake :o)

After the non-productive rehearsal came the highlight of the day: Reiki training and attunement. This wasn’t something I’d been planning on doing but, when provided me with the opportunity, I sort of flopped on it (jumping is too strong of a word; I was tired). I arrived a little late to find Breakfastfox, , and Nick all sitting on the porch step waiting(?). So, we headed inside to meet our instructor and start the learning process. We were to be attuned both to the first and second degrees in one day (easier, considering our age), and we had a good deal to learn about energies and symbols (not symbowls, as I kept writing x.x) before the actual attunement.

After learning the three symbols for the second degree, we took a break that consisted of strawberries, rice crackers, and poppy seed bread while our instructor got ready for the attunement itself. We goofed around for a while each of us was being attuned separately, first VulpinePilot, then Breakfastfox, then Nick, and me last. The attunement itself was indescribable, but the most vivid memory I have is that I had this sort of after image effect going, where I saw our instructor outlined in a very bright purple. Never mind the fact that my eyes were closed at the time. There was a bit more of that with Breakfastfox’s mom, except the color was an orangish gold, but the effect dissipated soon after. I have to think about it more before I jump to conclusions; I was facing into the sun (well, bright window in dark room) with the instructor, and Breakfastfox’s mom was silhouetted in a different window.

After running around, we practiced a bit on each other (or tried to; Breakfastfox kept laughing :oP) before I had to leave. I headed home so that my mom and I could go out to dinner. We tried to go to a new restaurant next to Sushi Zanmai, but it was kinda.. crappy, so we went to Sushi Zanmai itself and had our fill there. The whole time, my hands were almost unbearably hot, which I’m attributing to the Reiki earlier, since they got about as hot there, while practicing.

Aaaaanyway, I went to bed at around nine after doing FAFSA with mommy dearest, and woke up at around 12:45 with my hand excruciatingly asleep, and here I am, discussing the pool with Moondog, and writing this. Still haven’t done much homework. I’ll start now
