October 30, 2012

Today I started my delve back into bikram yoga. It's 26 set poses in a room that's heated to 105 with 40% humidity lasting 90 minutes. My goal today was to not negatively judge my body, and stay in the room the entire time. And I did it!! I didn't even vomit :) Felt so good to do something for me and good for me! Here's my sopping wet-with-sweat pile of clothes drying out:

Today was my 'me' day. The only time I ventured into the dreary outside was this late-night trip to the atm to deposit a check.

My brother got me hooked on this airplane game on my iPad. I can't wait to play it as soon as I get home every day.

Today's work activity: Google earth-ing places I wish I was. I took a walk though my old neighborhood in New York, Went to Hamilton's Deli, I visited my parent's house, my old neighborhood in California, and even went to Greece again :)

Always fun when you have to pull out the union contract to persuade your boss to 'let' you use the money in your own continuing education fund for an accredited CE course that's pivotal to your everyday work. #ihatemyjob

Pretty view for doing dishes, but this winter continual darkness thing might be starting a bit too soon.

What happens when you can't decide what fall treat you want from Starbucks? You get both of course!!


October 21, 2012

Today my lone accomplishment was making healthy food for the week, including this pepper-basted grilled chicken, and shredded azteca slow-cooker chicken. I was going to venture outside but that meant not only getting out of bed, but getting in the shower. And after a long humanity-demeaning three days of work, that will have to be a task for tomorrow :)

Spending today unwinding from vaca and resting from said trip and yesterday's overtime shift (I've got to stop doing that, it's always a bad idea) and I just can't help but wonder how many more nice sunny days are left here in Seattle!


October 16, 2012

What's the over-under on the number of days it'll take me to unpack this mess? Note the new stack of books? I have a problem... :)

Beautiful last day on the east coast!!! Goodbye Pittsburgh!

The highlight of my day today was finding thus Book of Mormon in the bedside table at the hotel. Made me smile :)


October 12, 2012

Of all the many many many things I did today, my favorite thing I discovered in Pittsburgh was the Phipps Conservatory. Absolute tranquility beauty and peace.

Happy 10/11/12 day everyone! Today I landed myself in Pittsburgh, PA where I'm visiting this weekend for a dear friends' wedding. Got into town early and did some exploring (aka driving and seeing what you happen to come across). Saw PNC Park, Heinz Field, and my fave so far, the Duquesne Incline. Truly spectacular view of a great city on a gorgeous day!

Welcome back clouds. I can't say I missed you. I'm not ready to deal with you yet. Off to the east coast where it's still fall.


October 9, 2012

A shot I took by accident, but cool! Took the afternoon to venture to pikes place to get my brother some carmel cashews for his b'day that was a few days ago.

Under the most constantly stressful situations, in the midst of an epic failure (the new charting system at work) it's still the little things that keep you going. It's the good times and laughter with those going through it with you that make life tolerable.

October 6, 2012

I've been playing this game of 'how much further can I go' and today I lost. I decided this was not a safe way to begin my drive to work... the gas station I had a discount for would have made me even more late for work than I ended up being, and they're not open at 0300 when I'm coming home from work or the grocery store... which is what began the game in the first place. So... I put in exactly one gallon of gas at the expensive place to enable me to play the game at least one more day :)

Although I still detest the chore that brings me here, I've found I tolerate it better between 0200-0400. My favorite cashier David is there... and no other customers :)

Ah, becoming a grown up. I went to the store today to buy some pins... it's hard to sew things without them :) and also came out with this super cute sewing basket. Not only that, but for the first time in my life I saved the grocery ads that came in the mail... that's right, I plan my meals and grocery trips now :)
