Back to the Brain

I know that bleeding is normal. I know this. I believe my mother, my Dr., the internet. My irrational running in a circle, screaming "Ai, Ai, Ai," pulling my hair out has ceased. Please ease your mind that the crazy has been beat back into a dark closet in my brain.

Things are coming to a close with my Washington, DC detail. Another two weeks to go. Flown by! I am tidying up my white paper and planning my last few archives days, humping up a presentation, and getting all those ducks in a row.

Does anyone out there in the world at large believe in jinxing? Or self-fulfilling concern or psychosomatic symptoms? Meaning: If you think on something too long can/will it suddenly actualize itself? I wonder about this.

And in a similar vein: How can you tell premonitions/intuition from unwarranted concern, obsessive thought or paranoia? Seems like they are only differentiated after the fact. That being my thought, how can you act on your premonition or intuition?
