Just had a conversation with someone else in the bureaucracy which was more pleasant than the one yesterday, though still very frustrating. It sounds like someone is trying to be helpful... but wasn't I convinced that someone was helping me out in January? Yes, yes I was. I am sitting on the razor's edge between hope and cynicism. (No wonder my butt hurts.) Still have other things to do to help myself in the fight for (not to be too melodramatic about it) my survival, but not sure how I'll manage to do them.
Argh. Bureaucracy is evil, and not in a fun way.
In less-personal news, it's almost the 25th anniversary of Mount St. Helens' big eruption.
In other hot news, This year's Sun-Earth Day on March 20 focuses on "Ancient Observatories: Timeless Knowledge" and falls on the vernal equinox when day and night are the same length. Appropriately, NASA and the Exploratorium in San Francisco are focusing on ancient peoples and their fascination with the Sun, which played a major role in most Native American religious practices and social events. And for those with better connections than mine: This new experiential Web site lets you explore Chaco Canyon, learning about NASA research on the Sun and Native American solar practices within a larger historical and cultural context.
In still other news, Woman sues hospital, says therapy turned her into witch. "The former Woodstock resident filed a federal lawsuit against the Geneva-based hospital this week alleging it did nothing to stop a psychologist on staff, Letitia Libman of St. Charles, from using witchcraft on her and eventually inducting her into a Wicca coven." People scare me.

Using tarot cards in therapy doesn't seem too far-out to me, based on the therapists I've seen & heard about. The nudity & self-mutilation are going a bit far, though. (The story actually sounds closer to "normal psycho-therapeutic care" than a normal Wiccan coven to me, but maybe I've simply hung around with the better class of witches.)
And when I made this post, I honestly didn't intend to put the witch story so near the burning things.
