So, I’ve been in kind of a funk for a while. I have’t had anything really good to write about, I’ve been tired, and I’ve been busy as well. If I start posting memes or really short entries, then you know that I’m either super busy or just uninspired. This time I was uninspired. And busy too, I suppose. But mostly lazy. π
I don’t take my medication like I’m supposed to. Part of the reason is that it’s expensive and I’m trying to stretch it out as long as I can. I cut the pills in half, and I take it when I feel like I need it, and I felt like it last night, even though I knew I’d probably have a hard time sleeping. I was so tired, though, I figured I’d be OK.
So… I was up at 3am. Wide awake. I scooped the litter boxes, cleaned up the kitchen and bathroom somewhat, finished the first draft of the September Moksha newsletter, turned in my timesheet for last week, and did a yoga practice, in which I did ANOTHER breakthrough pose: Mermaid. MY HOLY GRAIL POSE. Guys, I DID MY HOLY GRAIL POSE THIS MORNING.
Mermaid Pose.
This is Kathryn Budig,
who I got to study with this weekend.
I love her outfit.

I went through a yoga funk for most of July. I was just NOT INTO IT. I didn’t go to classes regularly, I barely practiced at home… it just wasn’t the thing for me. I even skipped one of my Tuesday classes (arm balances because guys, I suck at most arm balances and I just didn’t want to be bothered), and yeah. It wasn’t good. I think it had something to do with Mercury being in retrograde, because now I’m back to loving yoga again. Or maybe I was just in a tamasic (lazy) period.
Anyway, I’m glad to be back. π
Here is me and Ariel at last week’s homework review. We were talking about Viparita Karani (Legs-up-the-Wall Pose) and well, we had to demonstrate. π
And in the random….
I have loads of playlists on my iPod, but I think I finally got my Commute Mix sorted. At least for now:
See how everything has a genre, an artist, and an album? I am super anal about my playlist. I hate to see blank spaces or jacked up genres. I’m also not above making up genres to suit my needs (like “Marching Band” or “Patriotic”). What’s on your playlist these days?
And finally, It’s a chilly 64F outside right now with rain. Adam’s loving this weather; it’s his favorite. You all know what I like and fortunately, it’ll be back tomorrow. But I figured that since today is fall weather, I can wear fall clothes.
GO BUCKEYES!
And finally, I’m featured over at Crazy, Beautiful, Unique today! Celeste is a super sweetheart with awesome hair. π Go visit!
‘Til next time! π
Wow…64 degrees in August in Chicago?
TERRIBLE.
I love the headband and bangs photo. Your eyes are sparkling.
Thanks! I’m wearing my Ohio State gear. It drives Adam crazy. “College was 20 years ago,” he huffs. I’m like “Dude, it’s my alma mater. Don’t hate.” I mean, people in Columbus ARE obsessed but it’s harmless for the most part. Except for when students burn cars and furniture…. hmm, maybe it IS a problem. π
I still wear my high school graduation shirt, and that was 25 years ago. There’s nothing wrong with repping your alma mater.
Which reminds me, I am long overdue to buy some stuff from my undergraduate university. I was too broke to buy it when I was there from 1987 – 1992.
Um, owie…..that looks painful. they’d need a front end loader to scoop me off the floor…..mmmmmkaaaay
jak ja jak jak salad.
It feels great! π
