Finally sweaty weather!! I shouldn’t say too much, it looks like it will be cold next week again, but for now I’m gonna scream out loud about how excited I am for spring and summer! 

Yesterday was a very warm day. Almost 86 degrees (30°c). I decided to go to the gym before lunch and then planned on doing stuff outside and enjoy the sun the whole afternoon. But I came back to the apartment and Thor, who had been acting a little strange in the morning, was extra snuggly and started shaking in my arms when I picked him up. Oh no! I knew what that meant. I had been gone for 1.5 hour and now felt so bad about it:( My baby. But I don’t think he had been throwing up like he normally does when he gets his stomach problems (we think it might be pancreatitis so he has special diet and very strict rules about food with his sitters). So, I ended up staying with him til Jim came home. Being by his side is always more important than anything else. I cleaned every inch of our apartment and did some laundry, seemed like a good time for that since I couldn’t go outside. Thor slept for hours. When J was home, I went to sit on the rooftop for a little bit watching the sunset which was nice. Still pretty warm then. 
Thor seems a little better today but it’s hard to tell. He just sleeps. It’s heartbreaking, there’s nothing we can do. And this time it’s really bad timing since we are going away this weekend and he will stay with a sitter we don’t really know (same one we used when going to Hawaii). If he’s not better by this afternoon, I might have to stay home and J will go alone to Chicago. I will be by T’s side today, hopefully he’s better soon♥

This is life with our fluffbutt. We care so much and we want the very best for him. It’s not always easy. I can only imagine how it is to have children, hats off to parents around the world.

Our baby boy is 4 years old today. Yay! Happy Birthday Thor! Mommy and daddy love you forever ♥

The temperature is supposed to go up today again, so I think I will spend some time on our terrace organizing and plant new seeds in pots. We are going away this weekend so I should probably wait til after, but some of the seeds needs to be planted by now, so hopefully they survive when we are gone. Jim put our furniture out on Saturday and we had friends over then so we already kinda started to enjoy the outdoor space. Now I just need to make it cozy out there for the summer. We have decided to stay in this apartment for one more year, so I will definitely make an effort for a cozy outdoor space:) 

a moment with the floor

My husband joined an Athletic Club near our apartment. I went to check it out with him a few weeks ago. He got a free week and then decided to sign up for a monthly membership. He has been looking for a place to play basketball and this place has a basketball court, swimming pool, saunas, dance studio, gym, yoga and cardio classes etc. We have a gym in our building but this place offers things we don’t find anywhere else for a good rate.
I started my free week on Friday. We walked over there together to try an evening class, but that class happened to be cancelled. So Jim and I worked out at the gym for awhile together and then I enjoyed some time in the dance studio. It might sound strange to someone who’s not a dancer, but I spent 10-15 minutes just touching, feeling, sweeping my hands and feet on the floor, like if I met the floor for the first time.
I’ve always seen the floor as my partner. There’s a communication between the floor and myself that I can’t explain. There’s something real about it. I feel safe, I feel cared for and I almost feel like it’s my obligation to dance on this floor, it wants to be danced on. I’m rusty, I don’t remember everything that I used to, so I needed to take these minutes to just get back to the feeling, be familiar with it again. I dance in the gym in our building all the time, I’ve been in yoga studios, I have been teaching, but on Friday when I walked in to this studio that had flooring similar to what I grew up with, it felt amazing to just have a moment with the floor and become real good friends again.
