Two things Tuesday

[kaneen]

Tell me two things on this lovely Tuesday.  

#1 - Celebrate one thing good.

#2 - Leave one bad thing here so you can let it go.

[kaneen]

My two things:

#1 - I'm a broken record on this one but I'm going to celebrate it anyway. I live on the beach! I'm still pinching myself over this fact. It's so beautiful and so calming and so peaceful.

#2 - I want to go find a yoga studio to join but I've been tentative. I know that I should just research some on the internet and then just go to a few. I know that the hardest part is the first visit because I'm feeling insecure about the fact I'm a total beginner. Anyway, I'm just going to commit to myself that this week I'm visiting at least one studio.

kaneen, love your first one! As for the yoga studio, call and ask if they have any beginner classes. I started at mine as they had a three class intro series. They also have regularly scheduled Beginner classes, which occur multiple times a day.

#1 - I'm going to get my uniform today! Polos, pants, vest, boots, and whatever other equipment I need. And then, because I'm taking a sick day, I'm going to meet my dad at my college's bookstore so he can get a sweatshirt and we can spend some time together.

#2 - I'm working on leaving behind worry about my feet swelling this past weekend and through yesterday. My left foot and ankle might be a little swollen still, but my right foot looks fine now. I don't know if it's a fun new PMS symptom or if I was really dehydrated or what, but stressing and reading Dr. Google is not helpful, so I'm leaving those behind. Waiting for a call back from my doctor's office this morning to just check whether or not I need to be seen. Real action, not stressing!

Celebrating one good thing:
This is a short work week for me. I'm taking Friday off to go to a weekend recovery retreat. I'm really looking forward to it. I've been to this retreat before, and it's always been a source of rest and peace for me.


Leaving one bad thing behind:
I'm also anxious about going on this weekend retreat. I'm anxious about leaving the house for that long, being away from the cats for that long. I have this horrible scenario where one of the cats falls into the fish tank and drowns while I'm away. It plays over and over in my head. It's completely irrational - all the cats are big enough to get out of the fish tank if they decide to climb up and fall in, but my anxious mind likes to go to those dark places
I want to leave this bad thing behind and focus on all the good I'm going to get out of this weekend away.

1 - I booked our trip to ireland for July! Yay! I cannot wait for a ten day vacation away from work and stress.

2 - my period is whacky after coming off the pill last month and I’m spotting like crazy and moody AF. I’m sure no one wants to be near me lately, but trying to remain positive despite my hormones taking a dive. At least I’m passed the migraines every day part??

Somebody tell me I'm not crazy... my H has this idea that one of our cats might be a girl. Um...he's not a girl. He has balls. But my H says when they neuter a cat they take everything, so there shouldn't be any balls.

I see balls. I see balls on our other male cat too.

This is not the first time this has happened to me. Years ago my mom insisted on checking the sex of my female cat because she wanted to know if her cat was male, even though I told her it was obvious her cat was male. Because balls.

Do I just come off innocent or something? I can't possibly know what balls look like? I get frustrated with people not believing me.

doglove, I'm so jealous! Ireland sounds lovely

My good thing: I'm flying solo until Friday! While I adore P, I cherish my alone time. I can't wait to eat Taco Bell and watch trashy TV. LOL.

My bad thing: One of my clients is driving me nuts. Too much to get in to and I need to let it go as it isn't worth it.

Good thing - I had a fabulous lunch date with some old friends today that I have not seen in a couple months. It is so gorgeous here today that we ended up eating out on the patio and stayed a good few more hours to day drink.

Bad thing - I met with my sports medicine dr this AM and I am bummed because he said I will be lucky to be able to wear heels by mid summer. I know that sounds silly but I have a couple weddings coming up that I really do not want to wear flats too. I feel they make me look like I have cankles.

Two more things!

Good:
-They don't think there's anything seriously wrong with me and think maybe the swelling is related to the Aleve I took last week (if I take too much, it makes my gums bleed, so I'm not surprised it could do other things, too).

Bad:
I couldn't get in to the lab today to do my UA. I could drive to a different one, but just remembered that would mean a potential conflict with Modern class, so tomorrow it is.
