Pikachu at Farmer's Market

Today I took Pikachu to the farmer's market here in San Rafael. As usual she was put onto her leash and put into my large bag, and as usual she sat in there dozing off, poking her head out once in a while, while I walked around and shopped.

But then after I bought a gyro to eat, all of a sudden she woke up and rigorously started sniffing the air as if something had caught her attention and while I walked eating it, she just kept STARING at me, or rather the gyro - longingly. The gyro was beef and lamb. Rats don't eat meat. Or are they carnivores? Do rats eat meat? O_o?

Here is my secret. It's quite simple: One sees clearly only with the heart.

Anything essential is invisible to the eyes.

Health problems, again.

I got acupunctured today. Those hairline-like needles hurt like a bitch! To think I actually listened to my relatives who claimed it didn't hurt at all. I am in pain. They stuck over 50 pins in me. Everywhere they pressed on my body it hurt and supposedly that's a sign that the area isn't healthy and there's something wrong in my body. So they stuck one in every area, and when I thought that was bad enough, they turned the needles every once in a while. They also zapped the needles with some type of electric energy pen to get my nerves to "communicate". I am NEVER doing that again.

I also went to see a neurologist today. We didn't do too much except I had to move around doing weird poses to check my nerves. We scheduled an appointment for a nerve conduction test on Wednesday.

Random thought. You know the toilet seat cover dispensers in public restrooms? Why do they always say "Pull up and then pull down"? It works just fine just pulling it out.
