6:29 AM Home No idea why I am so wide awake. I would have figured I'd go back to sleep, but I feel like I'm ready to go. It's raining. My left ear is ringing. I feel rumblings in my nether regions but not sure if today will be expulsion day. I feel warm and there is a strange "pressure" on my skin. I fear it will be another "one of 'those' days". Maybe the extra coffee last night was a mistake. The rain does sound nice though. 1:24 PM Home Out of the great blue yonder, I suddenly started the Sleepy Buddha painting and I have almost completed it. Inspiration came suddenly, but maybe not unexpectedly; I did expel some heavy forces from the depths and my mood lifted up considerably. It has also been sunny for a couple of hours but the wind is still blowing... but not too hard. After the initial inspiration for this painting came I waved the wand and cleared my brain to allow focus. It has helped me to continue painting it for most of the day. Of course I took some breaks to look at books, internet, and to eat. Had chicken and rice for lunch and finished my pot of coffee. 1:29 PM Also, had a pipe for breakfast, or at least after my breakfast. 11:00 PM Home Probably going to hit the hay soon but I never can tell. Had a small group in both classes this evening. The second class was only two kids but it worked out great. I finally had the chance to clean them up and work on some body mechanics, like turning the hip to strike, and got some stances to look good. Then loosened them up with some escrima at the end. Nothing too fancy, just single sinawali. Had Indian for dinner.
