eau de toilette

September 14, 2019

Our toilet broke the other day and I had to wait for the guy to come fix it on Thursday. He left and the problem seemed to have gotten worse so I asked him to come back. He couldn’t fix it so he said he would order some part to exchange and come back Friday morning around 9-10am. He told me the toilet would still work but be slow. I didn’t want to try, if I really had to pee I could just go down to the lobby. Buuuut….eventually my body freaked out and that’s when I learned that it did not work🙈 Ugh! That is a story I’m gonna keep to myself.

Yesterday at 9:20 am, I took Thor for a long walk to stay out of the apartment. We walked over to Mill River Park. They were all in full business to set up for some country festival happening this weekend so we couldn’t enjoy the park as much. But we hung out in the dog park for awhile, Thor was sniffing every inch of that park and he had a good time. Then we walked to the stream and sat there listening to the water for awhile, very nice. It was a beautiful day yesterday, a bit colder than before which is good for T.

1.5 hour outside and they had still not called me, so I decided to walk back to the apartment building. The lobby person said she hadn’t even seen the maintenance people yet. Wtf? But I got her to call the guy and he came shortly after. I had to take Thor for another 40 minute walk. He was so tired he was almost sleep walking, haha. We met the guy once we were back again and he told me that there had been something stuck but he got it out, the bathroom had flooded a bit, he exchanged the part anyway since he had already ordered it but it should be all fine. So we walked upstairs and now we have a functional bathroom again (and I super cleaned it so if you wanna lick the floor it is safe to do so now hahah). I’m really confused though of what could have got stuck there, it’s not like we throw things in the toilet.

Ok, enough about bathroom problems haha. When J came home we went to a bar for oysters and drinks. Today we’ve been at the gym, J has been out with T for awhile now (he keeps sending me pictures of the two of them at a Mexican place, so cute). Our plan for the night is to go see the latest Quentin Tarantino movie. Have you seen it?

Have an awesome weekend!

shitty not shitty

September 12, 2019

Good Morning! Beautiful days this week. Yesterday we had 30 degrees and today might be warmer. Oh, I love Septembers like this (I wish I was talking about December though haha but can’t get everything). 
I had lots of plans this week but so far everything is not going as planned. Like right now I’m trying to deal with a screaming Thor in my arms while the maintenance guy is fixing our toilet (this building is driving me crazy), that was not on my list of things to do. Just one of those weeks I guess. Doesn’t help that I have a massive headache and sore neck and back muscles. Oh well..you can always find ways to turn it around:) A shitty morning (or ‘not shitty’ in my case haha) can turn into a beautiful day, just switch your mind and how you see things. 

Walked passed this tree this morning and thought it had very interesting berries.
What tree is this, you know?

acu p wat u doin 2 me

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. 

end of summer

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!
