acupuncture for the first time.

well, i did say i was gonna try to live more asian like. so - i had to try it. i didnt have any significant issues to go in for. some stress here and there perhaps? indigestion? lower back pain? i didnt really know what to say. they bring you into a room and ask you a million questions. do you have trouble falling asleep? how long do you sleep for? do you have trouble waking up? do you go pee in the middle of the night? how many times? what time? what color is the pee? its pretttty detailed. with her soothing nature she guided me into the room where she puts needles in me. in my head, in my ear, my feet. yep. totally normal. then she leaves, saying to, you know, relax - and she will be back in an hour. an HOUR. i cant move. and at first all i can think about is that there are needles all over my body and there is no way in hell i am gonna fall asleep or relax like this. the hour went by pretty fast and since then my whole family has tried it, and have loved it. im glad i did it, but it might be one of those things you have to get used to.

oh adventure.

adventure, to me has always been about traveling and discovering new places. and usually this time of year i start to get stir crazy if i haven't gone anywhere in a while -but i am learning to take on other forms of adventure. learning how to be a photographer and buying a house are both huge adventures that i am very excited about. and sometimes i need to focus on what is going on here and not on the other side of the world :)
