All dolled up

So far this weekend has been excellent. I assisted a tiny class with my girl A on Friday night. Tiny mean there were 6 people practice. So I got to take my time and give lots of love to people and take lots of breaks because I was totally nutritionally screwed up. So it worked out great.

I was nutritionally a mess because we had our biogen idec outing for bio pharam development at cranes beach. It was super fun and hey any time they let you get paid for eating and shooting the shit on the waterfront is ok by me.. It was a good time and I got to chill with m for the whole afternoon which is always a good time. Especially since she knows a lot more people then I do. I guess that's what eight years and being outgoing will do. Anyway it was an awesome afternoon except it was cold.

After yoga I boogied home and got ready to head down to providence for the evening. I have decided I'm a weirdo because I came back from yoga and decided it would be a good idea to throw in a load of laundry and vacuum. I really don't know how to sit down. Though in this case it was intentional since I knew I'd be driving to providence at 10pm.

Fast forward to today I had a relaxing morning, and easy drive home. I got home with time to spare before my eye exam and I got knew glasses. Yay for eye insurance and we're talking good eye insurance. That's all I'm saying.

Now to the title of the post. I sort of didn't realize I had so much back story. But I am off to hear itzack Perlman at the opening night at the Boston symphony. So me, a, j, j's hubs and m#2 are getting dolled up and going to the festivities. Should be good and all Beethoven program... Yes please.

And now it's after the concert and it was awesome. Perlman is an amazing player and an amazing conductor. It was a quick program because it was just Beethoven romance 1 and 2 and beethoven 7th aren't super long and there was no intermission. But it was an awesome concert.

Rest days

Rest days are important. I know they are but it is something that I struggle to actually do. I am constantly on the move pretty much where ever I am. And I frequently don't slow down really until quite literally my body gives out. Not the best tactic I have to admit.

This week as been a light week due to some scheduling things in the evening. I went to crossfit on Monday and had an awesome workout. We did squats, thrusters, toes to bar... All sort of great moves some of which I'm good at and some not so much( hint: I call toes to bar... Toes up) anyway I digress.

I woke up Tuesday with the plan to do some running but I felt sort of shitty all day. So the best laid plan did not happen. And I was fine with it cause I've been oddly sore lately and I think cause I've been pushing myself really hard. So the rest of this week has been light. I assisted at yoga yesterday and will again tomorrow but otherwise I don't have much physical stuff going on. Do I feel bad that I didn't do two crossfit days... Alittle but I know I need to take care of myself so that's more important and taking it easy this week will pay off in the long run.

Additionally I started to be much more cognizant of my meals. And I've felt really good for the last couple days. So there is definitely the motivation to keep it going. Paleo all the way babe.

Weekend fun

In providence... And elsewhere. I feel like I could also call this post.. Don't stop moving. Because basically I don't and didn't since Friday after work.

Friday night I went to yoga and had a lovely practice. An then I did some assisting. It was great as always and great to have my usual teacher back from her vacation. It is definitely a great deal easier to assist when you know the teacher well because it's alot easier to predict where the are going to go in the flow. It feels much more natural. Also one of my buddies came to my assisting class so that was fun too :) after class I boogied home and went out to the parentals for my brothers birthday. The funny thing about it though was we actually had cake without my brother because he was out on his boat with his friends. It's a bit weird but makes perfect sense. If you know him.

Saturday I got up early to go look at a car in west Roxbury. Which I ended up purchasing it. Woot woot. So I now have a Honda fit. Good bye squirrel car. I still have to go back to the dealership one more time but it is all done.

After a long time at the car dealership and I was zooming down the highway to my honey. I got to spend a nice afternoon with my boo. We went apple picking. And then I got to meet some new people which was fun. It's always good to meet new people.

Sunday I went on the Boston arthritis walk. A nice three mile walk with some Aopi. Alums some of whom I hadn't seen in awhile. So it was great to catch up. But I'm exhausted now and off to bed.

Runner time

I did a river run tonight and it was good. Minus the eating the bugs. That was less desirable. But anyway I did 9 intervals of 50 seconds..with 1 min breaks in between. And then did 5 intervals of 21 sec with 1 min in between. The 50 second intervals were brutal but good and I did the Harvard to river street bridge circle. So it was like 2 ish miles... Hurray

I'm back

That's right. Today is my first follow up with oncology. It actually felt weird coming in because it has been so long. And I am definitely having a bit of a visceral I don't like this reaction. Not that I'm expecting any sort of problem but maybe that's to be expected when you go back to something that is associated with so not warm and fuzzy feelings.

On a bright side I didn't miss the afternoon snack cart. Yay for apple juice in a can.

And of course the view ain't so back either. For a building associated with all sorts of yucky ness they do have some premium skyline

Ugiee

I did my first self care Saturday where I assisted yesterday. And it was great. I really love assisting and it was fun because there was a lot of people there I knew. And I brought my lovely new lady friend. She was a great sport. And I got to do savasana assist on her even though she wasn't in my row. Which I realize makes little sense to most people. But it was how we sort of kept track on who got assisted and who didn't. It was an awesome event and I will totally be doing it again.

It was an awesome day because we went to revere beach and had India food and got to hang out for the entire day... It was a wonderful day :)

Points and pins

I always feel that four day weeks make the work week so much long. It's like the days slow down because the world knows there is only 4 days of work. Anyway tomorrow is Friday and im super happy it is, cause I'm pooped and want to have the weekend again. And I'm doing self care Saturday so that makes it awesome as well.

But today I went back to acupuncture. Woohoo. I got a new student. She seems nice so far. It's always interesting to get a new person cause everyone is a bit different in their needling style. So I wondered what she would be like. She was a very forceful needler. My hands are still sore. But at least she commits to the needle placement. But I came across nice and relaxed so all is good. Hopefully some of symptoms disapait. they did before so I will assume that it will continue to work :)

Now off to bed

No idea what to call it

So that is pretty accurate. I have a number of thoughts floating around in my head so it's hard to know where to start. Right now my brain goes right to the freakin heart burn. Since feels like my chest is burning. I took two Tums but it doesn't appear to be helping. I've been a bit nervous and edgy today so that is not helping me out. It's also ridiculous that I'm this edgy because of stuff that isn't even happening till tomorrow. It's about the car at least partially.

I need to drop my car off at garden. Itu repairs tomorrow and i realized it would likely put a kink in my weekend plan . Though... And this is where anxiety sucks.... I have no idea if it will be a problem and won't know until Friday afternoon. So typical that I'm all in knots about it And I won't know if it's a reality until Friday. Ugh. Breath and move on. A skill I am still most definitely working on.

The other main thing that has been going on has been something I've been thinking about for awhile and now that I am not living at home any more I feel like its time to say it out loud. It also helps that I have met someone. Making the motivation to stop lying to the world all the more real. And if I have lost some of you. I am talking about my sexuality. Yep I am bisexual. At least I'm sticking with that moniker for now. From what I've read and heard about female sexuality i hesitate to get to into the label but I want to world to know that I am attracted to ladies too.! I have met a very special lady and I knew that would be the impedes to coming out. But now that I have. Time to take the flying leap.

It is far time to stop keeping secrets. It's been quite the year for me and I've. Come to the conclusion being open an honest is the way to go. Life is too short to not live honestly.

Lastly i want to say How much I appreciate the normal and positive reactions that I've received from people I told In Person. It gave me the courage to keep going. I truly appreciate all your kindness.
