I Am Not a Jedi

OK, so it’s technically coming in past Tuesday, but I’m still counting it because I’m still in my clothes from today.  Clearly that counts for something, right? (more…)

The things I am thankful for today:

1. My ability to see. All it takes is my annual trip to the optometrist and those god-awful dilating drops for me to realized just how truly lucky I am to have my vision and how much I take that fact for granted.
2. My David Bowie shirt. D got it for me a few years ago at Target because he knows how much I love Bowie (and it’s the “Live from Philadelphia” Cover), but could only find a size XXL. It’s one of those super slim girl-fit shirts, so an XXL isn’t a total dress, but it’s a bit too big to wear out of the house. Still, this shirt has become my go-to comfort shirt, especially this week.
3. The lunch special at Kabuki. 2 sushi rolls, a bowl of miso soup, and a salad for $8.50? Yes please! Not only is this a great deal, but the special runs ’til 3 so I can generally get here on Fridays. And even better? The sushi is super fresh and delicious (and their ginger salad dressing is AMAZING)! The only downside is that it’s kind of ruined me on my work time sushi  lunch spot because the food there is nowhere near as good.
4. The fact it’s Friday. I am so mentally and physically ready for it to be the weekend… I only wish that I had more down time.
5. A glass of water, with a ridiculous amount of ice. Sometimes, my friends, it’s the little things…

Coming in under the wire, but here are the 5 things I’m thankful for from today:

1. Although I miss Donnie tonight, it’s nice to have a quiet night at the apartment. I don’t feel guilty for sitting on the computer all night, toiling away at all of the random projects I’m trying to finish and I can also enjoy listening to the sound of everything around me hum along in imperfect unison.
2. Progress continues to be made on said projects. I still have my work cut out for me, though, but it feels good to be getting things done.
3. It’s finally cooled down outside and I got to feel the lovely evening breeze tonight. Although I’ll miss summer, that makes me look forward to fall.
4. Got the chance to briefly catch up with a friend today I haven’t talked to in awhile. It was nice to have a minute to recharge and relate to someone, especially because we haven’t had the chance to do that in awhile.
5. It’s almost Friday. w00t w00t.

I’ve been meaning to write (this time I swear), but I’ve been in such a weird place/mental funk, that I’ve been trying to avoid the blog altogether. I know that doesn’t really help me or the blog at all, but fortunately my schedule has been equally insane, so I haven’t had as much time to dwell in my murky mood, at least not on the internets. (more…)

Here I am, up at 5:30 a.m. on my birthday, more excited than a kid half my age for this day. (more…)

After doing not one, but two back-to-back yoga classes after a 2-week hiatus, I was feeling pretty good about myself, about life. An old friend joined me for both classes and we got to catch up a little outside class. I heard some good road tunes on the drive home–my endorphins were high and felt damn good. Nothing could touch me as I made my way to my apartment, to my husband, the shower, the bed.

And then I saw the sign in the elevator. (more…)

Wednesday was a weird day and frankly, I don’t completely feel recovered from it yet. (more…)

So, to avoid people freaking out about my last post, which was a bit somber, I figure I should write and update you all to my yoga adventures.

Current status? Very, very sore. (more…)

For the most part, I consider myself a realist, maybe to a fault. (more…)

So, I’ve been in a bit of a funk for the past few days. There’s nothing in particular that has me “down,” but I just can’t shake this overall “blergh” feeling. (more…)
