can't sleep
This is the second night in a week that I can't sleep...and I am a champion sleeper. Maybe it was the 20 hours of sleep I got on Sunday when I was sick. But I don't think that's quite fair.

I have submitted all my work for my online ethics class and just have to do a few discussion posts and I'm all done with classes! Now I just have a year of practicum ("internship") which meets once a week plus seeing two to four directees twice a month plus supervision. So...a lot of work but nearing the finish line.

I also started training to become a doula. I found a great online course and then I attend workshops and live births. I should be all certified in a year or so. I would do that work now, but it's a lot of physiology and I'm not awake for it right now. Not awake, not asleep.

I realized that I'm basically learning to become a wise old woman, that's what my degree should be in. A Baba Yaga. I just need a degree in herbology and a few more decades of experience and I should be set. Me and my thirteen little jobs in my little self-sustaining cottage. Hey, if I can live on it, I'll do it!

I was pretty sick on Sunday and am feeling much better but I sound like I've been smoking and drinking for forty years. And not in the sexy way.

I can totally see you as the village wise woman.

I had never heard of a doula until just now (other than the word in Greek, which basically means "servant"...). I just Wiki'd it, though--very cool.

I'm glad you're feeling better--sorry I missed your call last night. I was working a concert till fairly late and I had an 8 a.m. appointment this morning, so I crashed in short order once I got home.

Being wise is all to the good, but no reason to be old just yet!

I just wanted to hear how your trip was.

I'm an old soul. I have no control over age. Time and space, but not age.

"A Baba Yaga."

You mean you're going to go around eating bad little children? :D

Eventually. :)

I mean I will ride around in a cauldron and offer opportunities for flourishing and companion the journey to Wholeness. While living in a house with a fence of human skulls.
