Namaste, b*tches

Aren't we all a bunch of walking oxymorons? Surely it isn't just me.

Not bad for zero motivation

Tree is down, and my car is clean. And I practiced yoga and got some light Vit D therapy. I get a star today. Maybe not gold; maybe red.

Life ...

... it's a long game. Two important insights from dinner last night:

Most children who have at least one unconditionally-loving parent turn out fine.

Vigilance is great; be vigilant but don't be paranoid.

It's Friday ...

Response to T-Girl: "I had a bad day ... Water heater leaking and will likely need to be replaced.

Almost didn't go to yoga but did, saw a gal I hadn't seen in forever, got talked into going to dinner with two yoga women friends (went in yoga pants, sweatshirt, UGGs, wet hair don't care). My boss texted me after 7 and may need me in the a.m.

Got home about a half hour ago.

So glad I went to both yoga and dinner.

What time tomorrow? Work should not require my afternoon."

A shot in the arm

This is why he used to be my best friend:

"It's almost February. There was 14 mins more daylight today than Jan 1. There will be 3 min 42 secs more on MLK.

Spring is racing to meet you. "

Resolution

So it's a new year, and I'm going to try to post more ... even if it's just posting text messages and emails and the like that I swap with my anchors.

Just proof to myself that I do "write," even if it's not "official."

To be honest, I do enough "writing" at my day job as it is. Even if it's corporate "blah, blah, blah." On this date, I'm very grateful to write corporate blah-blah. Six years ago the telecom giant I worked for notified us that it was filing for bankruptcy.

Not to spoil the ending ... it does turn out ok, and I have survived thus far.

From my yoga instructor who was supposed to teach tonight but didn't ...

Hi!!! How's Ryder(?)? I had do go to a doctors appointment for Molly at last minute. How was class. Did Greg kill yall? I'm taking 5:30 tomorrow morning.

Ryder is much better after being home Mon and Tuesday - and on his antibiotics. Thank you for asking. Glad we caught it early.

The kid is predictable. He had strep on Jan. 3 last year, Jan. 12 this year.

Is everything ok with Molly?

I had a feeling you would be swapping with Gregg since you covered for him Friday. : ) And I was RIGHT!

Yes, he killed us. It was probably my worst class in recent memory.

I lost my breath about a quarter-way in ... then my heart was pounding, then my head was pounding, then I felt like I might vomit and/or faint. I sat on the bench in the corner by the tree for a solid 30 minutes after class and I left a mark. : ) BUT, it's better than skipping.

Even Bonita said this was her worst class since the new year, and she goes every single day. I was in good company.

Hoping to make it back tomorrow after work.
