I get the keys to my new place tomorrow. I'm excited. It feels like my life is just zipping by with all these changes I'm making in my life.

Most astrologers are saying that a Mercury Retrograde is starting on Saturday April 26, and you're not supposed to sign contracts or move. Mercury retrogrades mess everything up and it's retrogarding till May 20. I did read a site where the astrologer said a mercury retrogrades is also a good time to start new things, and that's what I'll definitely be doing with my move to a new place and starting to work home.

There are so many things involved with moving, that I'm starting to feel overwhelmed. I'm almost done with telling all the people you're supposed to inform about my move, so at least this phase of my move is out of the way. Now I just need to keep going through my stuff and decide what to keep and thrown out. I have so many books!

I'm not only moving my apartment, I'm moving my office stuff to my new apartment. There are so many tasks involved with this move as well.

Then there's the stuff to do with the car accident like getting my car fixed, going to the chiropractor twice a week for ultrasound treatment. And on top of all this, add this to my list of bad things happening to me this year, one of my fillings is cracked.

The tooth was starting to hurt, and I had a feeling there was something wrong with. I told my dentist, and he said it needed to be capped. My dentist was concerned about my gums, so he sent to me a dental surgeon and she recommended lifting the gum line on the tooth before he puts the cap on. I finally received the approvol for the procedure from my dental insurance a couple of weeks ago, but I was going to put off the dental surgery till June. With my tooth starting to separate from my filling, I'm not sure I can wait that long.

OY!!! It's just one more thing to deal with. I see my dentist on Saturday to see what he wants to do. I've already told him I'm moving and too busy for any serious dental work until after May 17. There are way too many things going on with my life right now.

And what's interesting is, I'm finally feeling in the mood to write again. I can't wait to set up my computer and my desk at my new apartment so I can write. I want to finish my screenplay, finish that short story I started rewriting, and begin work again on my two half completed novels. And, I want to be done with it all of it by the end of the year.

Being in the mood to write is kind of exciting, because I haven't been in the mood to write since I started that fantasy novel in November. I've had such a long dry spell, five months, of absolutely no creative writing. It's like the creativity spark just dried up, but I think I was so stressed about my job, my health and my apartment that I couldn't even think about writing.

Maybe that the job is set, my health is better, and I have a new apartment, the stress that I've been under is lifting and my creativity is flowing again. I hope so. I miss writing, but it's hard to write when you're constantly freaking out and worried about your life.

Wow, who knows. Maybe I'll even be relaxed enough to think about having a relationship. I'm keeping my fingers crossed!

I miss my car. The rental they gave me is a Mazda four-door protege. It's a decent car, but it's not as luxurious as my little VW Golf. The ride isn't as smooth and the engine isn't as powerful either.

I always thought Mazdas were great cars, but when compared to my car it doesn't compare.

I know my little car Siegfried misses me. I can tell he's scared because he's in the car hospital, and that he misses his mommy. The autobody repair guy told me my car would be ready sometime onFriday. I can't wait. I so miss my little car.

So I went to my chiropractor today and I told him about my car accident. He doesn't think I have any serious injuries, but he wants to do a full exam and give some ultrasound treatment. I just have to call my insurance agency to find out if they're going to pay for it.

He adjusted my neck, and my neck pain went away. But when he touched my right shoulder, it was very painful and bruised.

The funny thing is I wanted to quit going to my chiropractor and try another person. My other chiropractor, who is the only person I would drive all to Berkeley to see, told me that he didn't think my San Francisco chiropractor was very good. The SF chiropractor has never been able to release my hips, and I know it can be done because my former chiropractor used to do it. I wish I had kept on with him.

I was going to use the excuse of moving to stop seeing the SF chiropractor, but when I told him he got kind of upset. I chickened out and told him I would keep seeing him, especially now that he's treating me because of the car accident. He said I would only need a few treatments.

I'm such a wimp, but I didn't have the heart to just tell him he's not doing a good job. What could I say? My other chiropractor in Berkeley who has a posh office across from the Claremont Hotel thinks you suck rocks.

I rationalized my behaviour by telling myself that I get what I pay for, and since my SF chiropractor's services is contracted through my HMO I only pay $10. My Berkeley chiropractor costs about 10 times more that, so of course Mitchell is like 10 times better right? My Berkeley guy is also a kinesiologist, and his skill set is very different and more expensive.

I think just to be safe, I'll see my Berkeley chiropractor after I finish the car accident treatment with my SF chiropractor. I have money set aside in a pre-tax flexible spending medical account, and that money pays for dental and medical services not covered by my insurance.

I guess the good news is my body wasn't seriously injured by the car accident, which I kind of knew but was worried about anyway. Everyone I know who has been in a car accident, has had their bodies seriously messed up for life. I have a friend who was in a car accident when she was little, and she swears to me that her body is still messed up because of it. Another friend was in a serious car accident in high school, and he throws out his back constantly.

I guess only time will tell. I was in a playground merry go round accident when I was around 10 years old, and I swear my left hip still hurts to this day. I was playing chase master on the merry go around with friends, while it was spinning. I fell and my left leg got caught underneath it and all I remember is being dragged round and round, and feeling like my left leg was being pulled out of its socket. I think the accident permanently lengthened my left leg and I've had hip pains ever since. I definitely don't need another nagging little pain in my body.

Here's a strange coincidence. I called my HMO to change my address, and when the operator asked me for my birthday she said that she and I share the same birthday, which is January 24.

That's unusual isn't it? Is this a sign of something? How weird is that to talk to a total stranger and to find out you share the same birthday. TRIPPY!!!
