Ow

I don’t know what I did, but I know that it’s not good.  I had no sense that anything was wrong until I woke up a couple times in the middle of the night and, in shifting around in bed, noticed what I thought was a minor tweak in my back.  Then, when I tried [...]

Don’t wanna

Okay, so NaBloPoMo and I have all but broken up. Actually, I think we’re in that phase right before the breakup, you know the one where you’re “on a break.” Yeah, well, that’s the status of my relatonship with NaBloPoMo.
I had a few posts brewing in my head last week, but [...]

Let go

The mat provided a refuge yet again. I got home late tonight, burnt out, stressed, head filled with way too much information and too many questions. I found the time to do a most basic of basic practices: sun sals, last three poses of finishing and savasana. It felt so refreshing [...]

Outlook not good

Today was a crappy day. I don’t really want to talk about it.
The one good part of the day today was my practice. Nothing extraordinary really, but an hour away from the craziness and the “what ifs.” An hour of breathing and stretching and not thinking. That made [...]

Hope?

You know how yesterday I carried on about the lack of Ashtanga here? Well, I wasn’t exarggerating.
The other day I was driving down the street and saw a sign for a new yoga studio close to my house. Today I got around to looking up their web site. They don’t teach [...]

Over it

Is anyone else just so totally over Heroes? I am. The Guy is watching it, but I’m avoiding it. I think they’ve taken on too many storylines. Anyhow, over it.
So, in the spare time that I acquired by not watching Heroes, I decided to unroll my mat and play [...]

Wired

Due to last night’s time change, it’s currently 10:24 p.m.  I should be getting ready for bed, but I’m too wired to sleep right now.  I was away for work a few weeks ago, and while I was gone The Guy got restless and started planning various surprises for me.  One of them happened tonight: [...]

Note to self:

Remind me to tell you about the beet recipe with which The Guy and I have been throroughly obsessed for the last, oh, nine months or so.  It will make beet lovers of everyone.

 I’d share the recipe right now, but frankly, Toronto is playing Montreal and there are less than two minutes left in the [...]

Gratitude

It’s a concept I’ve found myself thinking about repeatedly over the last couple days. I found out last night from my mum that a close friend had been rejected from a post-grad program she’d applied to.  She was devastated.  Actually, she was beyond devastated; she was questioning everything in her life.  I felt for her.   But [...]

Checking for a pulse

Okay. I’m a liar. You caught me.Yes, I came back from the blog hiatus only to leave again.
I have an excuse this time though, I swear. I’ve been off for the last week. The Guy and I took a roadtrip down to Richmond, VA to attend the wedding of an old [...]
