My plans for yesterday did not happen and it didn’t bother me at all. The reason was that Emma, Cristian and Levy came for a last minute surprise visit. They were passing Stamford and wanted to say hi. I much rather spend time with them than cleaning the apartment, doing laundry and edit photos on my laptop:) It was so nice to see them. I haven’t seen Levy since the beginning of the year right before his 2nd birthday, he’s getting so big now. 

After they left we were pretty tired. I watched a documentary, we cooked dinner and then watch Shameless together before we went to bed. We thought that maybe that hurricane wasn’t coming after all, cause it hadn’t been that bad during the day. But when we went to bed the wind got really strong. We had covered and prepared the things on the terrace the day before, but I was still a little worried, cause I have seen the wind move stuff around there before (we are on the top floor on the corner of the building and the wind can get pretty strong there), but we went to bed anyway hoping for the best. After my third nervous run up the stairs to check on the terrace, I finally screamed at Jim that we needed to do something. The cover of the furniture had disappeared and everything had moved from it’s place. We ran to put jackets and shoes on and then moved everything in to the corner of the terrace and moved the heavy storage box of our other terrace things in front of it while trying not to blow away ourselves. In order to relax and finally fall asleep, I listened to a sleep meditation podcast and managed to sleep all night. J found the cover on the parking lot this morning, so that’s good and the furniture has not moved. 

Another thing I noticed last night is that the carpet by the terrace door, is completely soaked. We had a problem with rain coming in when we moved in, cause the door wasn’t lined up and we had it fixed. But now it’s not really coming from the door, it’s more from underneath which sucks big time. We have reported it and hopefully they can come and fix it. We rent, so it’s not really our problem, but still sucks to have this puddle upstairs. So I’m staying home most of today and hopefully they’ll show up. 

Hej and good morning! We started our day by going down to our neighbors apartment to feed her cats. They had found a bag of treats and probably had a nice party all night. Oops. Then we went to get coffee and J got me a spider gift:) I just finished sewing Thor’s costume. Oh, he is adorable! I’ll show you later.

I don’t really feel like dressing up like we had planned. J and I already celebrated with costumes a week ago plus it’s a lot colder outside this week. We were first planning on going to Greenwich for a puppy parade/contest tomorrow, but we will probably have a hurricane tomorrow and things has started to get cancelled around here. So we are going to a park thing toady but I’m not reallt in the mood to dress up. Thor can have a costume though, Halloween is for the “kids” after all:)

Good Morning! Oh man, I am sore today! Between my shoulder blades it feels like I got rolled over by a bulldozer. Could barely sleep cause I could not move from side to side, kinda like when your skin is sunburned. 
Yesterday I went to a yoga class. I have been there much lately for whatever reason, and it felt awesome to come back and really work on my body. We worked on alignments between feet and knees, something that is basic in dance but still a good reminder. I see way too many people, in studio or elsewhere, that I want to tell them to think about their knees. Watching basketball can sometimes be really painful to me. 
In the afternoon, I spent an hour in my “funny room” (I still don’t know what to call my workout room upstairs. Suggestions?) doing pilates and some balances. Felt pretty good, but I am weak and I really miss my strong dance body now.
When J finished work, we drove to a massage place we haven’t tried before. I repeated that I only wanted upper body, no legs, and I kept my leggings and socks on to stay warm. But I still got legs. Not as much as J probably that had a full body massage, but still. Anyway. She went bananas on my neck and between shoulder blades though. I love when it’s really hard and I knew I was tight and needed it, so I absolutely loved it while it happened and she was probably the first person who did everything evenly on both sides which I appreciate. But hello muscle pain today. Seriously, I am so sore! Feels like I’m bruised from the waist up. It’s probably a combination of yoga, pilates and daily things mixed with the massage, but this lady killed my body for sure. This body has some recovery to do today.
