Easter has happened! All's egg now! There was a somewhat round of chaos as was predicted. I turned the sprinklers on last night and checked them this morning. When the set nearest the house started, the sprinkler heads were not putting out a lot of water. I noticed some dampness spreading in the sand where the patio floor is being laid. I thought that the sprinklers were somehow pumping the water out of the bed. What I found out later on was that the pipes under the flooring had suffered a break. The water was just being pumped out of the bed. In the process of trying to understand which sprinklers were working, I managed to learn more about controlling the various sprinkler programs, So, all was not just a loss.

The PD support group had an informative speaker this morning. She's a healing practitioner who does body work, Jin Shin Jyutsu, and aroma therapy, in combination. What she does has similarities and overlaps with the tuina sessions I was getting in the Bay Area. What she does and talked about seems to align with the "next step" thinking that I've begun. She's battled off an episode of TB, and three bouts with Lyme Disease! I came away a bit tired (and over stimulated with various aromas) but I plan to move in the directions that she has explored and practiced.

In last night's dream, I did something that is related to the Mr. Peanut ad that is now running on the Internet. In the ad, Mr. Peanut takes on the super guru style of promoting a philosophy or religion. The ad is a parody of the guru promotions and seminars. In my dream, I met a powerful man who was leading similar seminars. But, there was an undercurrent of me not being able to do what was wanted of me, and what I could commit to. In leading up to attending my first seminar, I agreed to take on more tasks than it was possible for me to complete for the start of the seminar. So, I ended up going to the seminar with nothing done. That fact was true for nearly everyone and was not the focus of the seminar. There was an undercurrent running through the program and presentations--a sense of things being about to explode or such. There was also a juggling of people's places--if you left your seat to do anything, when you returned your stuff would have been moved to another location in the room, and put with unfamiliar people. I awoke (early) tense and disturbed.

CW dance class tonight! Looking forward to dancing! It's been a busy day, but still more to do.
