This evening was peaceful. I went to yoga and walked out after class just in time to see the sunset. I’ve been focusing on chest opening poses because it really helps my back and my overall mood. I’m much more motivated when I don’t feel like I’m being tazered.

The weather today was beautiful. I left to go to yoga in layers and quickly peeled those off. The breeze was just cool enough to keep my skin entertained, and it’s great being able to wear whatever shoes I want without having to worry about getting them muddy or having to walk through knee-deep snow in them. I like winter just fine, and I miss the snow when I’m living somewhere that doesn’t get any, but it’s not conducive to functioning. If I could have a helicopter take me wherever I needed to be and also be impervious to cold temperatures, winter would rock.

I shaved my crotch a couple nights ago.  The whole shebang.  It looks weird.  I usually only shave underneath and then leave a bit of fluff up front, but I was in no mood to be meticulous, so I just took it all off.  I can’t wait until it grows back.

Now, I’m sitting here in a tank top and underpants with the window open and the early spring night air swirling around me, drinking a cup of the most exquisitve tea I’ve ever had -- Tung Ting from the Red Blossom shop in San Francisco. I’d like to go back soon and visit my friend, Keith.  I tell him I miss him a lot, but I’m not sure if he realizes how serious I am.

Another friend of mine has just been diagnosed with an aggressive form of Leukemia and has been in the hospital on intense chemotherapy treatments for the past couple of weeks. She hadn’t made it past the probationary period at her new job before she was diagnosed, so her benefits didn’t kick in. I’m selling some prints and donating 40% of the profits to her to help her out. Even if you don’t know my friend, you get a kickass print and a good chunk of the money goes towards making the life of someone who stuck with me when nearly everyone else just wanted me to hurry up and be happy again a little bit easier.
