Yesterday was a bunch of errands. It was cooler out in the morning, which meant that a) some damn bugs found me and I ditched yoga early, but b) I did extra walking. This morning was cooler, too, but for some reason the bugs didn’t hunt me as viciously, so I got through most of […]

Day before yesterday: finished the first part of Blind Date with Death shortly before midnight. Huzzah! Yesterday: CRASH DAY. I got up and did yoga and walked, but I felt yucky by the time I got back to the AirBnB and ended up spending most of the day slacking off. During yoga and the walk,

This morning: more falls but deeper into poses, particularly forward bends. I think writing the scene I was worried about yesterday helped me on several levels.

This morning’s yoga, I practiced praising myself like a little kid wants to be praised. “Oooh, good job! Hahaha, just keep going.

Another good bit from exercising this morning, this time from yoga. I’ve always struggled with keeping my balance. This morning, I’m doing a half-assed, one-legged tree pose and I suddenly start saying, “I’m *going* to fall. I’m *going* to wobble and I’m *going* to fall.” At that point, my wobbling got worse but I didn’t

[This was the first post in what would become the pretty epic saga of recovering from a bad marriage, reclaiming friendships, rebuilding my body using yoga and walking, and writing a book. It’s still ongoing as I type this, but this is the first post, originally from Facebook, that I can find.] This morning’s “out

I woke up abruptly one morning out of a forgotten dream, the words “French onion ramen” lingering on my lips. Sounded like a great idea, so I went for it! My goal was to make not just “French onion soup with ramen noodles” but something that was more balanced between French and Japanese flavors. Elements
