This has been a very busy week... but now, except (ha!) for the town newsletter (I'm volunteer editor), I have a week off! (Planned it because of samurai's school vacation). 

On Wednesday, I saw my doctor for a routine diabetes followup, and mentioned that during the pre-breast-biopsy consult with the surgeon, the surgeon said I had a heart murmur. This surprised my doctor, but she checked, and heard a "soft" murmur too. So now in addition to having my alleged vacation interrupted by a breast biopsy (Tuesday) , I am having an echocardiogram on Thursday. Oh well. She didn't seem concerned about the heart murmur, and my research hasn't left me concerned either. 

While I was out, Bob the sorta-Builder (he's only licensed to do home improvements) got the sink hooked up, which he would have done Tuesday if the Corian guys hadn't got lost.

After I took my samurai to her Girl Scouts meeting Wednesday evening, I took Baby Car (I guess it had a name, after all) for a thorough vacuum and car wash.

Thursday morning ,my dear friend Becca came over to drive me to the dealership to pick up the Prius, as I would be transferring plates. We had some time to kill (we haven't talked in ages), and I mentioned the fascinating results here of putting the samurai's photo up. I logged on and let her look at your comments. (Becca is very psychic and more into these things than I am, actually.) We had a nice drive on a gorgeous spring day up to the dealership. 

The saleswoman had me drive the Prius with her to a gas station (tank was almost empty, and sale agreement included a full tank of gas) as a refresher course. (I test drove one in September.) I felt like a kid with a learner's permit again. It doesn't even have a key to turn in the ignition! I thought I did OK, but when I finally got back into the car at the dealership to go home, I could not figure out how to start it!!

I finally realized it actually was running -- but it is so quiet, I couldn't hear it!

Today I wrapped up another assignment and started putting my kitchen back together. We're having the family here, and this will be the first time any of them will have seen the new paint, etc. Also finished hacking out the remains of the poor daphne bush. It was another beautiful spring day, and I would have hauled the Weber grill out from the garage for a cookout this evening, but clouds rolled in and started to rain.

Tomorrow will be more of the same (cleaning), plus the newsletter, plus -- probably -- taking samurai to her first kendo class.

I have a heart murmur too. My doctor checked it out, but said unless another problem was found (which there wasn't) it's just another little oddity to add to my list :)

And you got a Prius with a FULL TANK OF GAS! Damn! That raises it's value right there! lol Glad you're enjoying it :)

Sounds exciting! (Both the car and the kendo. (; )

I'm curious to hear what Becca had to say about the samurai thread.

[ar-wahan.livejournal.com]

She seemed more intrigued by the thread itself than its content.... she had never been on anything like LJ before. She did say a few things, such as "fascinating!" and "this is so awesome!" And a funny one: "So how many of these people are empaths?" Me: "All of them." She was looking at most of the comments while I was downstairs on the phone with the person from the agency that will collect my old car as a donation, and right after that we had to take off to get the new car, so there wasn't an easy way to comment on specifics. I think she was more finding pleasure in my pleasure at the thread, and the validation. She herself has said in the past that my daughter is a very old soul "who has spent a lot of time recently in the light," meaning not here, but in spirit, not incarnate. (I think that's what she means. This, nowever, seems to contradict a memory my daughter has of being a young Asian male in San Francisco who died about 1983. But then, Becca, myself and daughter all agree that time isn't linear, anyway. So I get confused... :P) She is also the one who first suggested I read a book about Indigo children (*not* one where anyone is saying they are channeling info; it is a fairly objective and scientific approach). I resisted for awhile, but finally did and realized she had seen my child in this book.

We spent most of the drive catching up on each other's lives. I did tell her a story that my daughter told me about losing her own daughter (in Japan) in a family vendetta. The story, which I won't go into here, seems rather extreme to me, but Becca said it fit in with what she had read about Japan at that time. We focused then on the pain my daughter still feels from this, and Becca talking about how when this happens, it often means that the child's soul has not yet moved on and is still in the astral plane, and that a past life regression for my daughter now might bring them both closure.

Or something like that... this is where she knows things I know nothing about.

Everything she said makes sense to me. Sounds like you have some good connections. A past life regression might not be a bad idea; although she's lived her whole life with this double identity, it might help ease the pressure of it some.

Thanks. I have relayed that to my samurai.
