brain pounding eyes vibrating too much computer

Last night when I finally went to sleep around 11 pm my brain was pounding headachey and my eyes were vibrating in a strange way like, not in a good way.

I chalk it up to too much time spent on my computer.

it kept me awake for a while, but I was finally able to calm myself down into sleep.

I'm on my way to the dentist now, recording this with voice transcription. But I just wanted to add it as a point of reference in my eyeball medical history.

early morning snooze

I slept on 南武 line from 登戸 to 川崎 station today. Nice to get a 57 minute sleep on a 30 minute trip. (The train sits in Noborito for 27 minutes before departing.)

Early morning lessons on Wednesday are back after the summer break. I've been teaching here for some years, "wouldn't mind" if the lessons were taken over by someone else.

"Wouldn't mind" in quotes because that was the phrase Eriko doublechecked with me to be true regarding the lesson.

09:46

The lesson was fine today, and I wouldn't mind coming back next week (probably). Ayano, Satoshi, Ai, and I talked about summer vacation for a minute and then dove back into the book. To help them be involved in their own learning, I have taken to having them be "manager" for various exercises in the text. This helps me because I might otherwise skip or dwell on something too difficult or easy for them.

headed to nathans dentist

I'm headed to Nathan's dentist which is now my dentist.

I like this dentist because he didn't waste time checking my teeth three (3) appointments in a row without doing anything.

First appointment: "I recommend you fix this; wanna do it now?"

Yes!

16:49

He worked on two teeth, and best I can understand, he filled a filling on the left lower third from back tooth, which also suffers from gum disease (receding gum). He also smoothed down a filling on the right, saying it had been placed too thick on the tooth and kind of covered the gum (like a roof, not a wall)

state of my life address

11:11 Wednesday 04 September 2019 JST

1. Yesterday I walked from Shinjuku to Hiroo, from the men's group new

meeting location to our old one. Last night we met for the last time at Takeshi's office, and next week we will be in Shinjuku, at a place I have not yet seen. I have booked it for all of September and October, and trust we can get it for longer if we like it.

1. I did my first workshop last month (Eye Gazing, on August 17th).

We had a great turnout so I am planning to do it again on September 28th. Yay!

1. Last night Mark gave me the idea of doing workshops for a living.

It certainly fits my skillset moreso than programming!

1. Marble Track 3 now features CSFERP (Caret Splitter Feeder

Extenstion Reflection Protection), put in place yesterday by Reversible Guy.

1. I have not yet gotten into the groove of writing blog entries, but

recently I have put that on my daily ROBOT pages as a 10 point todo item.

1. I have been keeping daily ROBOT pages since May, thanks to Hiro for

the idea.

1. I had my first session with Dean Ramsden. It was less illuminating

than I guessed/hoped it might be, but I have different sets of questions for next time.

1. Lin and I have been doing better over the past month or more,

mostly because I have been chilling tf out and being more accomodating for communication styles and grammars.

1. I got AB's DB moved to AWS RDS. Yay! Thanks to Travis for

introducing me to Ansible. Thanks to Ansible for making things replicable.

1. I created a Page on FB.

[Barefoot Rob](https://www.facebook.com/pg/barefootrob/).  I
resisted giving in to the borg for a long time, and still want to
keep my content on my server, but they make it so dang easy!

2. I am ecstatic with the turnout from

[my first Eye Gazing workshop](https://www.facebook.com/events/2465227863708851/);
14 people attended, incluing myself.  I have scheduled a second
[Eye Gazing workshop](https://www.facebook.com/events/493730671447073/)
for Sep 28th, and a
[Remembering Past Lives](https://www.facebook.com/events/2054284838201319/)
workshop for September 7th.  Looking forward to both!

3. I have been fascinated with the idea of channeling information

from non-local sources.
[Bashar via Darryl Anka](https://www.bashar.org/) is the first
that I paid attention to, and now Abraham via
[Esther Hicks](https://www.abraham-hicks.com).  I wonder about
developing my own channeling skills.

4. Jennie is still our cat. Lin recently said Jennie is 7 years old.
5. I still do not have a driver's license in Japan (nor the US, since

my old license expired).  Lin wants me to get one, but I do not
really want to drive in Tokyo.  Especially not have to drive her
"big" minivan.

6. I showed up 25 minutes late to my online group today and no one

was there.  It's like my worst dream come true, after I had just
written a page of gratitude to the men of the group for keeping it
going while I am not in attendance.
