Today I had both a chiropractor and acupuncture appointment – I felt positively spoiled. Chiropractic was first thing this morning (which was badly needed – my entire back was so incredibly tense). The Dr asked me how acupuncture was going. I told her how I have been just meditating and zoning out during my sessions. Her suggestion was that I start doing it at home – that if I can meditate with needles in me, I should be good to do it wherever. I ended up thinking about that the rest of the day. I knew she was wrong, for me at least; I for some reason I can meditate easier during acupuncture than I can elsewhere. Later in the day I was driving when the answer hit me, and I started giggling out loud: during acupuncture, with all the needles in me, I can’t move! I mean, I know technically you can move… but mentally I feel like I need to be perfectly still until they are all removed. I don’t like so much as twitching my foot, just in case a needle will brush against the sheet. It freaks me out a little. You wouldn’t think that would be relaxing at all, but just think, it’s the ONLY time I lay perfectly still for an extended period of time. No distractions. I just let my body hum (yes, I often get a buzzing, warm feeling), and let my thoughts turn inward and out.<\/p>\n

The music and low light doesn’t hurt, of course. I set off to Amazon to find myself the perfect CD, and I think I found it: Reiki: Hands of Light<\/a>. Isn’t that gorgeous? I’m apparently very picky when it comes to my meditation music. I like strings, wind instruments, piano, but I needed something soft in the background… I needed a specific, warm feel to it.<\/p>\n

Before I found the right music myself I walked into my acupuncture appointment with the intention of asking what CD she was using. After she got started she put a CD on and it was… Enya. Ha! One of the two CDs that I own, actually. So much for finding something new.<\/p>\n

Last BCP was yesterday. Normally my period would arrive Thursday. Given the spotting it could be sooner. My acupuncturist mentioned that acupuncture can make it show sooner too. So… we’ll have to see, I guess. I’m thinking Wednesday. I will be starting stims by the weekend. It wasn’t such a big shock, since I have everything written out on my calendar and I’m giving myself lupron shots every evening, but at the same time suddenly “later” became “this week” and I wasn’t entirely expecting it yet. I have some nerves about how the stims process is going to go this time, so I am continuing to just not think about how soon it’s all starting. Today is lupron, a lot of pills (minus the birth control pill), and I’ll deal with tomorrow in the morning.<\/p>\n

Now if only I could handle the other stresses in life by simply shelving them for another day. Sadly my work projects don’t function quite that well.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
