Computer Confessor ....or why is public therapy so popular?

No really. Why can I tell a computer screen that potentially could be read by hundreds or thousands, however unlikely, what I cannot tell my BFF? Have we as a nation traded real human intimacy for cyberconnections? Or is it just that the page listens without interjecting? So I guess thats my goal tonight with my patient's and their families; be this blank unjudgemental computer page that listens as long as I need to talk.

As to my day

I really left my house too late but arrived at my job interview on time and discovered once I was at the interview that I have several things in need of updating, like my fingerprint card. Also, I have grown lacadaisical in my maintenance of my nursing credentials. I have maintained the minimum CEU's and kept my license valid but not pursued anything extra.

Sooooooo, now I need to...

On the spiritual is political front I am reading "Global Ethics" and feeling inspired to recrack a few radical books (see previous blog) but unable to get them from the local library. I could try Amazon but am trying not to spend unless its for Christmas presents. Maybe I'll take a couple of the books I own to Changing Hands to trade for the titles if they have them, If they don't I guess I wait for interlibrary  loan.

Discipline I actually got up when my alarm went off to read. Still did not run today, do yoga or meditate. Dishes are done here and clothes out of the dryer and hung.

Food I ate two boiled eggs with vegan butter substitute with a cup of coffee for breakfast. Lunch was a bowl of rice with sunflower butter and crushed red pepper (Nom nom YUM!) stirred in and a fruit smoothie made from 2 overripe organic bananas and frozen mango/peach/berry mix and some green tea, and a hard boiled egg.

As far as stuff I just wish would go away, I called the FVP unit and left my name and number and tonight will actually text all three witnesses, the two who saw the assault and on who has witnessed his violent temper in the past and verify their presence at court.

Financial responsibility front I went and put the $20 cash from my wallet into the bank (a verrrrrrrrrry long slooooooow line) to make sure my storage unit fees are there. Still not showing deducted. If still not showing up on the 3rd (Thursday) when I have to do all this stuff for my new job I'll stop by there. Can pick up more boxes with maybe, maybe my Christmas Movies.

Tummy full I now sleep a few hours then go do my regularly scheduled program, 12 hour shift of Hospice nursing. I love my job, I love my life. Gonna listen to my Quan Yin music while I sleep.

So computer confessor, I'll keep breathing and showing up and while I do I ask for grace and protection for myself and most especially those I  love, those I serve, and those who are currently my greatest teachers in forgiveness and compassion.
