Had the meeting with Lisa and Gwen at MTU this morning regarding the logos for the repair café. We had our top 3 and they said that they didn’t see any reason not to go with our 1st choice. We chatted about what tweaks we’d like to see, and what we are allowed to do with the logo and branding strategy, before making a plan of execution.
Took Sprite out for her walks …
Went to class. It was only Arum, but still had a good class. … Did my workout. Did a little training …
… That’s about it …
So what am I doing this all for?

There’s a lot to write about today. And I still have some catch up to do as well.
I won’t cover it all … I’m not sure why I feel that I have to, but I do. … And I will, eventually …
Had 4 people show up for Tai Chi! After a long dry spell, it was nice to have people in class.
After months of posting that I’d be at the Hyde Out on Tues nights if anyone wanted a game of GO, someone actually showed up! I played an in person live game of GO. The 1st in years! He destroyed me, but it was fun to play!
Cork Repair Café finally settled on a logo. We’re still deciding, but it looks like there’s a clear winner. I’ll post it up once we have a final decision.
That’s basically it for today.

Today was a blur … Not a fast one, as if your in a speeding car. Just a blur.
I did Sprite’s walks. I went to SuperValu to get some oxtails for soup tomorrow. …
Kevin was insistant that I break my fast. I tried to respectfully resist, but I eventually gave in. I only had 8hrs left anyway. I was actually relieved for the excuse to break my fast. After 54hrs I was completely cleared out, so mission accomplished. There wasn’t any reason to continue. I made myself a bowl of brown rice & barely congee with split green peas, & wakame. I’ll still continue with the clear soups & bone broths now for the rest of the week.
I’m sure I did more today, but I guess not …

Hollow … I hate this feeling … I keep thinking that if I write about my day, my boring unfullfilling days, … I’m such a cliché … I keep thinking that if I just say thing are OK, that it’s all working out, and say it over and over again, that it will be … Hollow and lonely …

A feeling very numb kinda day.
I went into MTU to watch the presentations of the students who are designing the logo and creating an advert strategy. They all did such a great job. It’s gonna be so hard to choose …
Class was a bust. No shows. I stuck around and did the warm up with a few extra push ups, sit ups, and squats. Went over the first few movements of Xin Yi as well, before packing up and going home.
Ended up talking with Richard a bit about Sprite. … I fucking hate this situation … I fucking hate dealing with him when it comes to Sprite. I fucking hate dealing with him PERIOD! He said that he’d be OK to look after Sprite in July for the month when I asked him a month ago. I ask him again tonight to be sure. He said that it should be OK, but then went into a mood going on about how 1st it was the 2wks, and then now adding another month, that the time is adding up and so on … Making it out like it’s such a burden for him. His tone quickly changed when I said fine that I’ll start getting her acclaimated with other people right away, so that someone else can take care of her for the month I’m away. Started going on about how Sprite wouldn’t go with anyone else or stay in the kennels. … GAWD! I HATE PLAYING THIS FUCKING GAME WITH HIM! … My back is up against the wall. I need him to look after Sprite while Kevin is here. I don’t have time or money to get her use to someone else right now. … But I need to start right away, regardless. I need to find Sprite a good home and cut Richard lose once and for all!
On another note. I started fasting today. I’ll just have water and maybe some jasmine tea through Friday. On Saturday, I’ll start with clear soups and bone broths for a week. 2 days of mash potatoes and eggs. Then back to a very strict whole foods diet until Kevin gets here. I’ll enjoy food for those 2 wks. Afterward, back to the very strict whole foods diet until July when I go to Portland for the month. I’ll still be very conservative. Again back to the diet until Christmas! That’s the plan at least. …

Today is my Brother’s Birthday. He’s 51 today. … As estranged as we are, I still think of him fondly and often …
Yesterday, I did a trial run of getting to Dublin, picking Kevin up from the aiport, and getting us to our hotel. I’m happy that I did. I have to make a few tweaks so that it all can run smoothly when he gets here on the 25th of May.
Had a scare yesterday. While I was on the train back to Cork, I get a message from him saying that he’s experiencing abdominal pain and is going into the Urgent Care to have it checked out. I was in a near panic. I was even looking up flights just in case I needed to fly over there. But thankfully it all worked out. There was a part of me that worried we’d have to cancle his trip out here. But his health is far more important and plans can be changed.
I almost got my foot snapped off by a dog lead. I had taken Sprite out to Deerpark for a run before tai chi classe. Lucy is a young very exuberant white lab. Sven’s still working on her recal, and keeps her on a very long lead. When it was time for Sprite and me to go, Lucy had Sprite’s ball and didn’t want to give it up. Sven tricked her into dropping the ball with treats. She noticed that I grabbed the ball and though the I was playing, so she kept jump at the ball. I was trying to keep it away from her by turning around. But she kept at it. In the whole ordeal her long lead got wraped around my ankles and when she jumped she literally pulled me off my feet and I landed hard on my right hip. My right ankle hurt so bad, and at first I couldn’t move it. But I managed to get some movement back, assured Sven that everything was OK, that it was just an accident, took Sprite and hobbled home. It’s really stiff now, but I’m sure it’s just a minor sprain and will be fine in a couple of days.
There were only 3 people in class. … That’s fine … Carla gave me a box full of potted seeds. Sweetcorn, squash & beans! My 3 Sisters Garden! I told her that they will all be planted in the Lough Down Garden.
That’s pretty much my boring day …
