I am pleased to announce I survived the root canal. My own dentist did it, and it was way easier, less pain than the one I had a few years ago. My tooth hurts like crazy today, Or should I say my mouth surrounding the tooth. But cold water doesn't hurt, so it is all good!

I started with a new in person counselor. Two actually, one for the weight loss program, and one for my ambien taking self. The weight loss one has me working on some Byron Katie thing called "The Work". He is a PhD candidate and on his rotation with the weight loss/behavorial health dept. He will only be around another month or two. Then he is on to oncology, where I have no plans to follow him!

The other doctor is a medical doctor, in his residency to be a full fledged psychiarist. He was interested in my recent forays into Buddahism. He said they call it Mindfullness Training.

I have many other things I want to say/share/vent. But will keep them to myself until it doesn't matter who is lurking in the shadows!

Off to weight loss C, and then to Pokai Bay to paddle and then the highlight of my day: Meditation class at the Buddist Temple.

Much Aloha to you all!
