katie-girl-wanders:
literally the funniest thing i have read in a REALLY long time. i sprayed spit all over my phone. i would rarely describe my laugh as a ‘guffaw’… but for real. guffawing to the max.
it’s basically the exact same experience i had with my first hot yoga class, minus the aggressive penis adjustments.

Yoga fail: when “floating” to the top of your mat to forward fold, try not the slice your wrist with your toenails. This is both gross and painful. Nothing like sweating into an open yoga wound for another 45 minutes. Salt in the wound. So literally.
Time to listen to my body and get a pedicure stat.

Getting pretty darn close to getting into crow. Close enough to fall out the second my legs get high enough off the ground, that is.

Back at the westlaw searching. Building another database. Trying to get through 100 a day. So. Many. Cases.
Slower than a SDA, faster than an ethnography. Content Analysis for the win.

Been trying to get in a handstand since I caught yoga bug 2013 in January. At my Tuesday class with my favorite instructor of all time, I got my legs high enough with enough hang time to be (audibly) concerned about getting down out of the pose without dying.
Today, at home, I got high enough to flip over into an accidental backbend and then land on my bum. Knocked the back of my head sometime...

Pilates kicked my core today. Doing it right, I guess.

Finding my place in the academic conversation is so hard. Turns out grad school is just like high school. My research is trying really hard to find table to eat lunch at and experiencing a lot of theoretical rejection and just wants to curl up and take a nap.
Lit reviews — a soul crushing exercise.
Too many pounds and too little money means tracking my finances and my calories again. Especially if I want to fit in my red party pants again and continue to entertain a yoga studio membership after my groupon expires in April.
Reality. You are a cruel mistress. Ughhhh.

I’m not catholic. Like at all. Like I actively disagree with much of the official Vatican policy.
But.
D is. Kind of. More cultural identify than religious that I’m trying to wrap my mind around for him and for us and I guess for me too and the kids we may have.
For now, we’re starting with lent. D is giving up a vice.
I’m gaining mindfulness.
Be more mindful of my words to others, my...

Just coded my first case.
Open coding for the win, I think?

I’ve had a delayed case of the Mondays today.
Yoga was good. Feeling much stronger. Still obsessing over getting a studio membership. Still poor. :(
But! Lentil stew + research with cat and crime dramas = pretty okay evening.
Totally craigslisting for sewing machines. While westlawing. Feeding my crafting and caselaw addictions at the same time— efficiency for the win.

Still a little sore from Pilates on Thursday.
Thinking on picking up a Sunday evening class, esp. if we’re back from D’s aunt’s 60th birthday bash weekend in time for me to preview it without committing.
Madness.

Confession: I haven’t taken a yoga class in forever—like since I lived in LA forever. And I hadn’t practiced at home since the summer.
Took a class today and seriously caught the bug. First time with inversion work and crow pose (fact: instructor told me mine looked more like Frogger). Class flew by. Flew. It’s a quarter long series and I cannot wait for next Tuesday. And...

obsessing over: how much happier I am post mani/pedi. Got the claws cut off, finally. The gel was fun, but too much commitment. I’d rather change them up and file them off every week myself and head to the salon for monthly maintenance. working on: updating my calenders. Back to school means back to scheduling way too many things. thinking about: my first class of the quarter. T-minus 3...

Love bravely.
Make something monthly.
Pleasure read often.
Check in with myself daily. Face and fix the bad, savor and remember the good, bask in the everyday.
