A jumbled sort of Friday

I had a migraine last night so I was all out of sorts for most of the day and then I had to run messages.

This evening I am just kind of trying to recombobulate myself so this feeling doesn’t leak into the weekend.

I wish there was a magic wand for this but instead I am meditating and doing yoga and trying to be as calm as possible.

Imbolc

My sister and I chatted around a fire to welcome creative growth into our lives.

A small fire in a firepit
A smal fire in a square mesh firepit amidst the snow in my yard.

Writing Victory

Between my posts here and my posts at Fit is a Feminist issue, I have written 133 blog posts since December 1.

My daily posts at the group blog are over for now but I want to channel that writing energy into something else.

I think I’ll just write what I would have put into the other blog into a document for the next few days and see what I want to do with it after that.

Damn left shoulder

I slept at an odd angle the other night and now I have a knot in my left shoulder.

I’ve been doing various exercises and taking meds to work out the knot but in the meantime at class tonight I did my TKD patterns one-handed.

I was pretty pleased with the results but some of the movements were tricky to remember without the visual cue of my left hand in a specific place.

And because each movement took just that much more effort, my class wore me out.

Shifting Plans

This past week has been an exercise in recalibrating my plans.

Aside from the fact that I was sick last week, a lot of other things went a little bit awry so I had to make new plans on the fly,

I’m pretty good at making new plans on the fly, but I don’t love having to do it.

And I was really hoping that this week would be a little more orderly about my weekend was a bit shifty and so was my day today so I’m going to have to be very careful with my time tomorrow to help things stay a little bit more organized.

It’s not really a big deal to have to change my plans but it’s less stressful if I can map my plans onto my time a bit more effectively.

So I’m crossing my fingers for tomorrow.
