h2g2 The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy: Earth Edition

Good to see you. Welcome back.

Hiya,
As per mail, hope things are starting to improve for you. Hope Micio is doing better too.

Got your email. Thanks, Micio is doing wonderful. I took her to the vet today, and she had gained weight. So no further tests will be necessary at this time. I'm very relieved.

I haven't been painting much the last few weeks, but hope to resume painting soon.

I watched the Democratic convention tonight, and am very excited about some of the speeches. Especially Obama's. I dunno, American politics may be boring to non-Americans. I hope not, it's such an important election.

Obama's been getting a lot of coverage here. I'm afraid I'm somewhat cycnical of all politicians frankly, regardless where they're from. They all promise the earth but do nothing for those who need help the most. I think it's almost obscene the money they spend furthering there own causes, once they get power they forget what they're there for.

That's good news about Micio. Just had confirmed, 19th Sept. for the resumption of the Art for Life course.

See you later.

The day after you start your class, I'm going to a "chocolate dinner". It's a whole meal made up of rich chocolate desserts! Not something one wants to do too often, but once a year, it is very fun!

Can't say I agree with you about all politicians, I think Obama genuinely wants to help people. But then I am an Obama supporter, so may be a little biased.

I've been listening to hypnosis CDs, and having a blast with that.

I take it these are various relaxation techniques?
I did have a silly vision of you walking around in a trance having hypnotised yourself.
Hope they help especially with sleep.

A dinner?

While I was offline and no TV last week I had another bash at some painting. Boy, I've a long way to go yet.

Hehehe, I hope I don't start walking while I'm hypnotized! I might fall down! Yes, it's a relaxation type technique. The Cds are very enjoyable. I listened to one on "creativity" tonight, then painted for a while. Abstract painting is almost done -- I know my sister will be happy.

Mmmm, yes, and it's an entire dinner of chocolate. Can't wait.

looks like you found our first thread too.

Hiya, hows things? Hope you're sleeping better these days. How's the art doing?

Yes, I'm sleeping better. And the art is going well. Just finished a round abstract, very colorful, for my church auction. (I'm so very tempted to keep it, it turned out nice) I'll send along a picture through email.

I'm very happy today because I was able to vote yesterday. I'm hopeful about the election.

How's your art class going? And things in general?

That piece is almost psychedelic, lots vibrant colours.

I'm currently attempting a water colour of a Golden Eagle. Progress is slow but I think I'm getting there.

Glad the sleeping patterns have improved, all sounds good and positive, well done you.

Hi ST. I was disappointed that no one bid on my painting at the auction. I guess I set the minimum bid too high. Oh well, at least now I can keep it.

Hiya, sorry to hear that. I haven't got much done to mine this past week, been busy writing and other stuff.
How are you doing in general?

I'm doing pretty well. I'm stuck at home for a few hours because they are redoing my parking lot. Need to go to the grocery -- I'm down to cereal and soup! Very curious to see the election results roll in tomorrow. Keeping fingers crossed.

Yes, we'll all know within the next 24 hours. They've just said Obama's grandma has died, that's not good news anytime let alone at this crucial moment is it?

Aww, that's sad. But at least he took time to visit her right before she died. I think that was really important to him.

Yes, he was brought up by his grandmother by all accounts. It looks like he could well be your next president looking at the current state of the polls.
I'm pleased you're doing ok, were the hypnosis CD's useful?

The hypnosis CDs helped my mood a lot, and are a lot of fun, but they didn't help much with changing my sleep schedule. I have been up during the daytime some lately, but that just seems to be by chance.

It's like everything isn't it? Once you get out of a routine it's hard to get back. I delay my last meds by an hour these days. I used to take them at 9pm and be out by 10. Delaying them mean's I'm back on a normal sleep pattern again. I'm usually up most days around 8am as a result.
Mind my upstairs neighbour had something of a brainstorm this morning. It's only a wooden floor between us and he decided for some reason to hoover at 3.30 this morning! I wasn't impressed.

I try to keep it quiet for my neighbors. I would certainly never vacuum in the middle of the night! Hope your neighbor doesn't make a practice of it.
