Hi! Started today with 30 minutes of yoga/dance movements to wake up the body. Thought it would wake me up but I somehow after both that and two cups of coffee are more sleepy than when I woke up, haha. Maybe it’s because it’s a bit cloudy, I don’t know. I feel that fall is in the air, it’s still warmer outside but it’s just that feeling you get every fall, you know what I’m talking about? Fall is kinda like New Years, you start a new school year or go back to work after a fun summer. Why is it by the way that the school year starts in the fall, why not in the winter? 

Yesterday morning was a bit busy for me. I really wanted to work out in the morning but I didn’t have time. After breakfast I had to call the doctors office that opens at 9 and try to get them to put an order in for me. A few problems (on their end) and a few phone calls later, I finally was able get my blood test done at quest (not my regular hcg test, a dif one). Quickly ran home to eat something and then off to acupuncture. I swear, I don’t even care (or, ok, yes, I do care haha) if it works or not, I just love when she leaves me alone in that dark room and I can meditate for awhile. It’s quite hard and it is a challenge, but I see it as a test to not focus on the distractions and a chance to try to disconnect for a bit. She left three pieces of “seeds” this time, one on each wrist and one in left ear, I took them off this morning. Maybe it’s just in my imagination but I am starting to feel the needles working on things in my body. After each session I feel a bit strange and because of that, just like after a massage, I stay away from working out after. For me it is important that the body realize what has just happened and can react to it in it’s own time. I have my next appointment in two weeks, kinda looking forward to it already haha.

Baby George ♥Thor was with us on the rooftop today, 24°c and sunny, woohoo!

Good Evening! Hope you’re having an awesome weekend! I never got to do my test on Friday, couldn’t get a hold on anyone, so I have to call Monday morning and hopefully get it done then before my acupuncture appointment.
Anyway, this weekend has been pretty relaxed, like most of our weekends haha. Stayed home Friday night and just watched a movie. Yesterday we went for a long walk with Mr Fluff and had lunch at an outdoor seating in downtown. In the afternoon we drove to our friends place and packed our car full of their stuff, drove to Norwalk to unload their stuff in their new house. We were a lot of people trying to move and set everything up, but it still took us quite some time. D had to of course take care of baby G who is 5 weeks old now and I was keeping her company for a bit to stay out of the way for the movers. And, today is an even slower day. Grocery shopping, computer’ing, sitting in the sun on the roof and then watching football.
I’m ready, motivated and excited for tomorrow and this fall season. Earlier today I was in line online to buy tickets for Fall for Dance (waited an hour for the release and still ended up number 1599 in line and had to wait another 45 minutes before I got in, same thing every year, popular event) and I managed to book tickets for me and Jim one weekend in October and then two tickets to a program the weekend after (going with someone I haven’t seen in a few years). Very excited about that, will hopefully be inspiring:) Ready set go!

How are you guys doing? My brain is still on vacation. It’s so hard to have a few days off and then try to get back to it all. The past couple weeks I’ve been really active and eating better, but then we had 4 days of relaxing and eating crap (pizza, mexican, more pizza and more mexican hahah). Wednesday was a busy day with flying, blood test and I was so tired at night after waking up so early that I didn’t do anything, so yesterday then turned into a real slow motion day of nothing and pizza night in our building and first day of football. Today is better, a little more motivation and more energy, but still on vacation both in body and mind.
I hate to say this, but I think I will start my fall season on Monday. Today I might have to go do a second blood test of this week and this weekend we are busy helping our friends moving. You should never say “I’ll start XX on Monday” or “I’ll start after XX” etc, you should always just start, but whatever, I’m ok with being slow:) And what is it that I will start you might wonder. I’m wondering too, hahah, no, I’m kidding. I would like to go back to dance for real now. The road back is loooong and hard but if I am determined enough, I can do it. Right now I have no choice but to do my tests and wait for results for a year ahead of me, so might as well go back to dancing and hopefully I can start teaching as well. I miss it.
Do you have any goals or projects you’d like to work on this fall?
