body-mind connection

it's the sad nature of modern living that we exist mostly in our heads. our bodies are an afterthought. hence the bodily afflictions that ail most of us--migraines, sciataca, the dreaded RSI, -itis, muscular tension, aches and pains, menstrual cycles.

my youngest aunty conceived best while drunk (as the family story goes. at least my version of it). drunk as heo on her wedding. and vacation drunk while trying to get over the depression that the doctor's diagnosis of early menopause (at 40!) and infertility had induced. i hope she fired her doctor who was wrongwrongwrong!

my sister conceived Anabelle after goodbye sex while on a sister's trip visiting me in Oakland over the july 4th weekend.

i have a friend who conceived while celebrating the fact that her artist husband finally finished art school and got a job!
