Facebook foible

So I usually don't put personal stuff on Facebook or more accurately stuff about the cancer. Basically to avoid the questions. I also didn't tell alot of people on the phone that I have cancer because I realized it was just awkward to call some on the phone and be like

Hey so I haven't talked to you in 3 months but guess what I have cancer

Ummm no. It was awkward. But needless to say I mentioned something about my upcoming operation on Facebook. And about 10 min later.. Someone I hadn't told anything to commented it. Da oh !!!

It's not like I don't want to tell people but it's alittle odd to tell someone after so much is said and done. But I did call them and had a lovely convo. And laughed a bit at the fact I kept the secret for that long.

But note to self... Leave the personal crap off Facebook

My back is tired

So three yoga classes in three days.... Totally zen awesome but my scapulas are screaming. Thanks to all the yogis this weekend for a clearly awesome workout!

Italian coma

So it's been awhile since I've had Italian food. But oh boy. I'm in chicken parm induced coma at the moment.

One of my KY cousins is in town for a job interview so we went to the chateau in Waltham. It's been an old stand by for the family for years. We actually discussed why we still go their cause it's just an ok restaurant. But try an change anything with my grandfather involved and it's not going to happen. So off we went and had a lovely family meal. Now well fed we'll be watching amazing race... The usual Sunday activity.

Otherwise today I went to another yoga class. It was very athletic, but not particularly zen. Though they did have an assistant who helped alot. It's always amazing to me the difference teachers make when they are essentially all teaching the same thingZ but the main goal was achieved and my back muscles are nice an sore:)

Not back to amazing race and having African Safari envy... Cause they are in Tanzania

Self care

It's an interesting term "self care " cause of course people all feel like it means something different. I'm not even sure what it means to me today. I want to this unbelievable yoga class at Prana today and it was focused o self care. Care of the body and care of the mind. After about a million assists and 2 hrs of class I definitely feel like my body is well cared for. My mind only partially so. I did end up crying a few times during the practice so I know I had some release. But I am still mentally jumpy. I think I feel like I should be more sociable then I have been lately. And as much as it pains me to say it I wish I had a boyfriend. Maybe I wouldn't feel like such a social weirdo. But I really have to work on myself more.

There is the rub right? When you look for someone it doesn't happen. But it's hard not to feel like stupid having so little luck in that department. But I think I will do what Dan savage says (paraphrased badly) live your life, get out in the world and put yourself out there, and don't get bitter. That Is the goal. :) and here goes nothing. I will focus on self care... And lots of yogi stuff and eventually all will fall into place



I hope

Week in retrospect

This was a busy work week. We are testing all sorts of samples that have to be done quickly. So I ended up testing about 80 samples in 4 days. And still have to process a bunch of them. Arg lots of work. Also I felt like a bit of an idiot because I completely got the amount of time I need off for my next surgery wrong. I said a couple of days where it's more like 2 wks. Big difference right ? So of course I realized this after I emailed my boss who not only is not in Cambridge but is also the director of the group. Talk about embarrassing !!! Yes holy moly, embarrassing.

Other than work I went to the gym one day. I didn't get as much done as I wanted to but it was good to move around. Then I went to Prana 2 music on Friday. Which was awesome as usual. Especially after spending 3.5 hrs at mgh. It was a painfully long appointment to do the pre op check up. Which of course went fine. Because minus the cancer I'm a healthy person. So the idea I'm going to stop Breathing under anesthesia is a bit ridiculous. Needless to say I needed the yoga action and some nice chatting with yoga peps.

Now I'm watching big bang theory o my bed. Awesome and a half :)

Easter fun

Happy Easter
It was a good weekend. I went to the 11 am service at church which was overall a good message. I did get mobbed alittle on the way out. That was hard. I mean I understand that people want to know and show support. But it was tiring. So 17 awkward conversations later I made it to the car with my sister.

Later we went to brunch at the Marriott hotel. Lots of yummy bacon. I think. I might have a little unhealthy obsession with bacon. But it was perfectly done and tasted great. The one thing that didn't was actually the desserts. Which was funny because they looked amazing. But the mouse I had was in impressive so I didn't bother with anything else.

After we got home it was Easter basket time. Which meant scratch tickets galour. Yay. And buddy shaped chocolate. Double yay.

Otherwise the day was spent lounging. I was feeling pretty lazy so I didn't do much. I did buy my ticket to wanderlust:) I'm soooo excited. Now I just have to book the hotel.

Weekend

Is it really Sunday night again? Geez louise... It's crazy how fast the weekend goes and I don't feel like I even got that much done. Today was a productive good day. Palm Sunday at church. I always like palm Sunday because there is trumpets at the service. So that was good and I like watching the organist feet. Its funny.

Though lately I've been a bit mad at god. It's weird cause when I got diagnosed rev. J said she was mad at god and I didn't really get it. But now I do. I'm definitely mad at god for now. But I know I'll eventually get back there. For now.... I'm mad.

After church I had a lunch with somme aopis. And then I came home and did my taxes. I know exciting. But at least it was a productive day :)
