I did an update on LiveJournal, and well, I'm feeling too lazy to type in another update on here saying esentially the same thing (except no, "but why is my clock giving me the time in Moscow" or whatever it was that I said when I went to look at the date, but instead saw Moscow. So the link? http://jrasku.livejournal.com/12108.html or you can go to http://jrasku.livejournal.com/ and see my whole journal.

Shambhala Training Level II
I did the Shambhala Training Level II this weekend. It was really good I tried to be vegetarian, but as usual if food is offered to me, I take it. It wasn't even very good. But I ate it, and I was already in a state of having over eaten. This is typical of me and my compulsive overeating. It's not *big*, but it doesn't have to be big all the time for there to be a really negative process. So, I did that. I over ate. I was aware I was overeating. I was aware I was going off my desire to be vegetarian that meal, but I went ahead and did it. I wanted to not do it. Still I did it. My dad knew I didn't want it, but he kept offering it to me. It was pretty rediculous actually.
After we ate, I went to the centre, and then pretty much spent my whole weekend there. I stayed with Margaret and Russ, and that was really nice. They have a really nice house, and they are great people. On Saturday I ate at the Thai restaraunt in Nelson on Victoria and Josephine, and well I realised that maybe I don't want to eat there any more.
Why would I want to not eat somewhere that the food and atmosphere is really good, and I really enjoy it? Is it because there are no vegetarian options? Nope, a great deal of vegetarian options. Portions too large? Not really, they are larger than I would like yes, but that's true just about anywhere I go. The real reason? The bathroom is grungy. It's dirty. If they don't keep the bathroom clean, how am I suposed to be confident that the food is actually prepared by food safe standards? I can't. While I haven't got sick eating there, I'm not sure that I want to continue going there. The bathroom smelled like someone had pissed on the floor, and it hadn't been cleaned up. But I had to go to the bathroom, so I went, and I enjoyed my meal. I may try again some time, but both times that I've gone the bathroom has been discusting. So, well the food is great, but it seems I need to go to the bathroom every time I go there, so well I actually expect to have the same experience next time I'm there.
Ah, what else? I think that's about it. Came home early this morning. Well left Nelson early this morning. Got here about 10:00. It took over 3 hours to get here. Not a huge deal. I enjoyed the trip back. But once I got to Rossland I just wanted to turn around and go back to Nelson. I don't want to live in Rossland. But I don't want to spend 2/3 of my income on housing.
