For may 17th.
Let's hope this is the last one!
I'm headed out to Tennessee late next week, and will be there until the 27th. I'll be moving all my stuff out of the house....sorting into keep, sell, freecycle, and dump piles. If any of you are scavengers like me...you're welcome to pick through the freecycle pile before I post it.
See y'all next week!

Not for the faint of heart: Wisconsinisms
I HAVE to pass on some colloquialisms from one of my classmates. She is from Wisconsin, and they actually say these things.
1) It's colder than a witches tit.
2) I'm so hungry I could eat the a**hole off a skunk. (That IS hungry.)
3) It's raining like a cow pi**ing on a flat rock.

Wow! What a Trip!
I just finished three incredible weeks of massage training. I learned some AWESOME stuff. Can't wait to try it out on all you folks!
Our "graduation" from the 200 hour course was a Native American-ish ceremony in a big TeePee. It was CO-OLD until the fire got going. The festivities went on until the wee hours of the morning. And of course it was very emotional. There was a LOT of estrogen flying--with eight women and one man in the class. (He became one of the girls after awhile!) Two of my class mates and the instructor were certifiably insane, so it was a wild ride. (Yeah I know you classmates are wondering which of you I classify that way. HA!)
I'm having trouble posting pix. I'll keep trying!
So... I didn't leave for Tennessee as planned when I last blogged. Seems I can't make plans more than a few days in advance, recently.
"He" scheduled the divorce hearing for...YESTERDAY, without consulting me or my attorney. (Did he KNOW I was in California going to massage school? Of course! WHY would he schedule the hearing for that day when he KNEW I'd be gone? Your guess is as good as mine!) My attorney got a notice from the court a couple of weeks in advance, so moved the hearing date. I have not heard from him yet when it will be, but I asked him to schedule it for May.
And when I explained to my landlord what was going on, she agreed to let me pay half rent (and owe the rest) one more month. That way I won't have to go out there twice (to move out of the house and then again to get divorced. Yes, I do have to appear, since we were unable to settle.)
So... I am waiting to hear when the divorce date is set for, and then I will make a decision about when to leave here. I'll come back and stay with my mom and sister's family until July (Watsu). In the mean time, I will study for the national exam, and (as I blogged before) I can work in CA with the training I now have.
One of the ladies I was in class with this week has a day spa with two massage stations. She said I could work there a couple of days a week (its a couple of hours away.) And there is another lady in the town where the school is who is not interested in massaging men. We are in discussion about my possibly taking up her slack a couple of days a week. (Mom's county requires a background check, which takes six weeks, but after that I can work in the area. Tennessee also requires a background check, so that part will be done when I apply for my license there.)
This week I was certified in Native American Hot Stone therapy (way fun) and Chair Shiatsu (office massage--an incredible routine!). We also had training in Craniosacral Therapy (in which I did NOT excel, but I will get it...) and Myofascial Release.
I am very eager to begin my healing work. (Dr. Ahern says, "We are not healers. We are facilitators of healing." It is a higher power that does the healing through our touch.) I have learned some AWESOME stuff (did I say that?). I'm very much looking forward to Watsu in July.
The kids are doing wonderfully. My sister is taking great care of them, emotionally and physically! I'm glad to be off school for awhile and present to care for them myself. I have really missed them!
Love to all!

Change of Plans
Change of plans 4/6/07
Welll....
It seems my plans have taken an unexpected turn. I'll be staying in CA for awhile longer than I thought.
"He" is paying half the amount ordered by the court, and I can not make it work in Tennessee. So I am postponing the last three weeks of school to go out there to move out of my rent house and put my things in storage. I'll stay at my sister's house until the divorce is final, and then see what God has in store for me.
I am "manifesting" moving back to Tennessee in the fall. There is a place in Midtown I have been coveting for a couple of years. Maybe it will go on the market when I am ready to come back. Hold that prayer for me!!
I have made arrangements to take the last week of this course in June and the Watsu in July. Hopefully the divorce will be final by then, and I'll better know what my situation is. In the meantime, I can work in California, even before taking the classes in June and July.
I'll bring my table and do as many massages as I can fit in while I am there! Email me if you want to "set up an appointment!"
this is not as scary for me as it sounds. I'm not stuck, just delayed. Keep white light headed my way, please!
