Another book for the librarian :content:

“It’s not a proper fantasy book”, Le Bateleur apologises. “But perhaps it could fit into the History section? It’s about the life of a great conqueror… And it even mentions Elves!”

:writing_hand: + :writing_hand: + :writing_hand: 3 DJ Entries
:stopwatch: 1 time meditation
:sleeping_bed: + :sleeping_bed: + :sleeping_bed: 3 RC upon waking up

Also already had written for the first time for my :medal_sports: (found a notebook) and my short ld :zzz:

congrats on the bountiful week, Cornelia!

the librarian raises an eyebrow. “a history book. involving elves. wherever could such a book possibly belong.” her eyebrow arches higher, and after a judgemental pause she places the book firmly next to the hobbit.

[i]“do i want. a book.” her eyebrow reaches new heights. “you are full of quite mysterious questions today.”

she takes a few moments to examine the creepy book. “oh no,” she says with feigned disappointment. “looks like we will have to put this one in the restricted section,” she sighs affectively. “that means only qualified researchers will be allowed to access it, and it wont be allowed to be taken out of the library. what a shame.”[/i]

This Morning:
:writing_hand: 1 DJ Entries
:stopwatch: 1 time meditation

Damn I always forget the RCs… :sad:

93

Week 2,
Sunday: dream journal entry, meditation
Monday: rc on waking. Broke Internet diet. Fell asleep instead of meditating.
Tuesday: dream journal entry, rc on waking, meditation (+ Vajrayogini sadhana, which probably also counts as a meditation)
Wednesday: dream journal entry, rc on waking. Broke internet diet to post this. Will probably meditate later today, honest…

P.S. I claim the “superhero” task - see my dream hournal entry “telepathic superhero”

94

im actually very surprised how many people are managing to remember them!

we are about halfway through the LC already, and have found 18 books. the librarian was hoping for a nice round three dozen, so we are halfway there! the good news is we are on track, but just barely, so keep up the good effort :smile:

at this rate, it might come down to just one or two books, whether we all win or all lose. so every book counts and everyone has the chance to make a difference!

Tiny little LD. Maybe some elves?

[i]the librarian arches her one eyebrow to new heights. “maybe some elves?” she asks. “lets see. elves, with an elven backstory, and elven weapons, and elven objects, going to an elven banquet.”

she somehow manages to snatch the fantasy book from you despite that you didn’t realize you were holding one, and places it between the hobbit and Le Bateleur’s elf history book.[/i]

congrats on our first official fantasy book gotten from a fantasy dream!

:writing_hand: 1 DJ Entries

:sleeping_bed: 1 RC upon waking up

I m having really agitated nights at the moment and I barely remember anything (always a sudden awakening)… Can’t wait for Week ends!

101

Wednesday: meditation

Thursday: no recall, rc on waking, meditation, broke Internet diet to post this

I have recently bought a meditation cushion (zafu). I meditated without one before, but had heard they were popular in other styles of yoga. The cushion has been getting a lot of use in this LC. On enquiring further it turns out that my usual yoga style also recommends a cushion for some of the meditations.

This morning: hatha yoga after waking up. It turns out that I am out of practise, and no longer have enough flexibility in my legs to do “the water jug”. (I.e. Seated forward bend)

Mythical creature found! It was… um, unique.
