The Cupcake Orchard

Just realised I havent written in this blog for ages now, but all of a sudden I cant think of anything to say.

Oh I did my Reiki 1 on Monday which was strange.  I think I made the mistake of reading to much about it beforehand and expecting to get the same experiences as other people got and I didnt so I came away dissapointed that nothing profound had happened.

It was a nice relaxing day and Ive made a friend who was on the course with me she was nice and I hope we can keep in touch.  I think I was so tied up with my usual worry and stress and being so self-consious I coudnt seem to relax at all and felt really daft doing it.  When I had my initiation I did see two lots of flashing white light and my eyes started flickering really badly.  Ive since read that other people often experience this.  I also now have this weird tingling and throbbing sensation in the palms of my hands where aparently I have had the Reiki symbols put into each side of my palms.

I dont feel anything when I try and treat myself with it but I do feel tingling in my hands and my hands do get hotter.  I didnt think it had worked at first and I do seem to be getting a few de-tox symptoms that they say often happens, going to the loo a lot, my nose was streaming yesterday and I seem to be going through a bout of imsomnia.  But... ive been doing self-treatments on myself as advised even mini ones at all possible occasions and I feel soooo chilled out.  I cant recall feeling so at ease, so damn chilled and serene.  I went to the dentist today woke up with the "i dont wanna go" lurch in my stomach but I did a mini-treatment and I felt much better and managed to cope much better than I usually do.

Ive tried to Reiki the cat and she went really spacey too!

....im sooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo tiredddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddd *curls up*

....was one of the best days to make a decision.  So I made a decision.  Ive signed up for the Reiki 1 course on 21st July 2008. Im really nervous and keep thinking, am i just doing the stupidist thing ever!  Will it even work have I made the right decision?

The lady im going with (the one that is closer to my home) has been wonderful has been very good at keeping in contact has been really friendly.  The other one never got back to me which I feel was totally rude and bad mannered and made it perfectly ovious she didnt want anything to do with me.  Sigh.

I downloaded and installed Lineage2 again.  Its an addiction, I cant stay away from it but when in im it i get bored.  I played Lineage2 from its closed beta all the way through until last year then I quit after about 3 years of playing.  I made some great pals in there and had some really fun times and adventures.

Had a second and third reply from the lady that lives closer to me.  Shes so friendly and reassuring.  I still haven't had a reply from that other lady so that has made up my mind I'm going to muse over it tonight and then I will book up with her.

I think its all about being professional and replying back in good time that gets customers.  If you leave people hanging for days on end then you get the feeling you are not wanted and I am getting that feeling from the other lady shame really because she looked so promising but the other lady won.

Well... As mentioned in an earlier post (I think) I wrote an email to the first person I came across that does Reiki courses and she has really excellent feedback and really good website (dont you hate it when you come across people offering services and their websites dont work properly, its a real peeve of mine).  Anyway I wrote to her on Monday morning and got a reply yesterday morning.  I was a little dissapointed because I felt like I had been replied to via a machie that just copied and pasted stuff off the website back into an email at me.  So I was still keen anyhow and replied again to her yesterday morning.  Ive yet to have a reply.  I tried to call today and got an answer machine. Hmmm maybe its not meant to be.

On a sidenote my right hand palm is itching, does this mean something? my mother always says that it means that I am going to receive money? I bloody well hope so!

Anyway back to my Reiki.... I was looking at other places that offer courses and only found one more close to where I live.  I emailed them today and got withiun a few hours a nice friendly personal email back from her.  Ive replied again giving more details about why I am intersted in Reiki including the whole palm reader saga.  So we shall see if she replies and what she says.  Maybe this palm reader stuff is creeping them out and they think im mad or something.

.....why is it so rubbish.  Ive got cable and there is NOTHING ON THERE aghhhhhhhhhh.  Its all just so boring.  I should put a dvd on but I dont feel like anything in particular either.  I get bored watching DVDS

Have you ever broken a bone? If not, what's the worst injury you've sustained?

Ive never officially broken a bone so the A&E told me but I believe I did a about 8 years back.  I was temping for a Animal Charity Central Office when I was asked to take a huge bin bag down a narrow and steep flight of stairs I coudnt see where I was going and my foot slipped off the edge of the stair and I fell down a few and ended up hanging upside down off the banister.  Now I heard a crack in my foot.  I couldnt walk for a month, the A&E said I had badly sprained it but I still think I broke a bone, they never x-rayed me and years after when the weather went cold my foot used to throb where I had hurt it.

I also thought I ahd broken my toe a few weeks back but thats ok now.

..... that doesnt hold a Facebook account?  It seems that half the people where I work all seem to be on this Facebook thingy.  It looks really boring to me, maybe Im missing out on something spectacular, am I?

....So the Toyota Dealership rang me last night to see how Im doing with the new car.  I told them that so far so good though Im not really keen on the engine noise and am still finding it hard to ignore. 

Oh I never told you did I, I picked the car up not last Thurs but the Thursday before, when I was met by the guy who sold me the car he took my documents to photocopy etc and had me sign three documents.  Now I know I should have looked at what I was signing but I just presumed I was just signing my car over and the other car over to me like you do.  Well he gave me documents to keep, explained that one had to be sent off to the DVLA which was all fine.  Then he says this is a service plan which means that if you choose to take it you pay for it by installments each month and when your service is due it works out cheaper. 

Well I said Im not intersted Id rather pay for it as and when its required and he definately said no problem but keep hold of the info anyway just in case you change your mind.

Saturday morning game and a letter drops through onto the mat.  Its only from Toyota Financial Services confirming my signing up for A SERVICE PLAN AGREEMENT!!!!!!  What the hell! I never signed up for this and to top it off they even had my surname spelt incorrectly.  The guy who had sold me the car had signed me up for it when he knew I didnt want it.

I was fuming so called them up he had to call me back and was polite but really flippant with me saying "oh didnt you want the plan" I was like "no, I told you I wasnt interested" he said oh ok sorry bout that ill get you removed.  Well I was about to call Toyota up to double check he had done so but they beat me too it and called me last night as metioned at the beginning of this post.

I told the lady all of this and said I woudnt be so bad but he coudnt even get my surname right and she confirmed what my surname was and then she said "oh I can see it here hes got your surname spelt as ****" Then she was all ultra polite and said well Ill make sure hes definately cancelled it which gave me the feeling that she saw the plan still active on the computer by the way she quickly turned around and apologised and said she woudl see to it that he had corrected it.  I swear if I find out he still never cancelled it and an installment comes out later this month there will be hell to pay!

Hell to Pay!
