PERSONAL NEWS #220
May 2nd, I attended the open community meeting regarding “New/Old Faces
of War and Crises at Home”. Topics of
discussion were … Can we effectively integrate our
work on the continuing wars, militarized foreign and domestic policy, climate
change, and the economic crisis here at home?
**Budget cuts? Sequester? Drones? Fracking? Pipelines? Occupied
Territories? War in Afghanistan? Gun violence?
Can organizing around these multiple issues help us build a peace and
justice movement? This event was held at
The Commons and hosted by BFP in place of the usual monthly board meeting.
On May 4th, my friend Sheila came into Manhattan
from NJ for a visit, and we hung out down in the Greenwich Village area. Nice, sunny day though abit breezy. After Sheila headed home, I went to visit
Wendy at the theater for a “fitting” of latest ensemble.
On May 5th, I had the weekly private yoga class
with Fabrice, and then it was off to Manhattan for appt with Dr Tan. Afterwards, I visited Wendy for fittings of
latest ensemble.
On May 6th, I visited Wendy at the costume shop
for final fitting of the fancy robes I will be wearing during the fashion
showcase at Misti-con. After work I had
a much needed appt with my chiropractor.
May 7th, I picked up the fancy robes from Wendy at
costume shop. Robes are abit heavy, lots
of moiré fabric and they drape, swirl real nice.
May 9th thru 13th, I attended my first
ever Harry Potter convention in Laconia, NH.
It was called Misti-Con and it was a lot of fun. I attended many workshops, chill with friends;
participate in the Fashion Showcase, masquerade ball, Gala Opening Ceremony and
so much more. Upon returning home I was
ill with sinus/lung infections from the crazy hours, not always eating healthy
and weather conditions.
May 15th, I stopped by to see Deanna after work
and paid her back money I borrowed during Misti-Con weekend. An ex-TGTSNBN member [Wendy] was visiting
her.
May 17th, I left work abit early, so I could see
Dr Tan about my health issues. No
acupuncture treatment, but was given herbs and told to take them twice a day
and come back for treatment on Monday.
He said not only do I have allergy issues, due to high pollen count, but
also sinus / lung infection.
May 19th, I had the weekly private yoga class with
Fabrice and we took slowly due to my health concerns.
May 20th, I had a follow up appt with Dr Tan after
work for treatment and more herbs.
May 25th to 28th, visit with the
parents in upstate NY for the Memorial Day holiday weekend.
May 30th, I attended the monthly BFP A&C
committee meeting and it was very productive.
Plus, we welcomed two new people [ie: Judith and Susan] to the team.
May 31st, I had an appt with Dr Tan, and
afterwards my weekly private yoga class with Fabrice.
