Rebecca sent me a note saying that she got the results on the H-pylori test. It was positive, which means I still have an active colony despite the herbal remedies I used. Rats! Will have to see the report so I can decide what's next. Even though I'm asymptomatic (in terms of ulcers, etc.), I still probably need to get rid of the critters. Don't need any extra health issues--for sure!

She asked how I've been and I wrote the following--

I've been riding a well-being roller coaster... Each day I seem to have some good times, some not so good times, and some times that are lousy (sounds like normal life!)... I'm still having to rest/sleep each day, but perhaps not as much as I was having to do... I've been able to proof/edit an Algebra manuscript that a friend of mine is creating... First cognitive exercise I've done in a while... I've gained back a bit more weight... My digestion is still holding steady (as long as I don't try and eat a lot of meat--fish, chicken, pork)... Overall, I seem to be riding smoothly as long as I don't try and do too much--as long as I maintain a quiet psyche... I still yearn to be doing more, but for now "it is what it is" as I try to remind myself, frequently...

Had an interesting dream last night. I was facing some kind of opponent. We were squared off against each other with a chasm between us. We were bombarding each other with psychic weapons. Everything he threw (shot, launched, bombarded, hurled, fired, etc.) my way, I transformed and caused it to recoil back onto him. He would absorb everything I sent to him and also transform it into an enhanced device. The special effects were astounding! Finally, I changed his mightiest weapon into a super device and that ended the exchange. No one was hurt in the dream--it was a show of power and skill. In fact, the exchanges seemed enhance each of us every time--we expanded and grew with each volley.

Scorching day, today! Had to be in the 90's here in my sauna apartment. Mushed around all day. Tree trimmers appeared this morning with a not-so-loud (but loud enough) chipper. They came around the time the trash crews arrived with their monster collection vehicles. And yes, later in the day the b-ball crowd arrived. Was not a quiet (or cool) day. Longest day of the year next week--hopefully not also the hottest!

Off to SC tomorrow--session with JJ! Believe it!
