Oh Que!

lol you want an honest answer?

Let me try.

When things go right, like today for instance, yes, absolutely.

But that can easily change. I'll get back to you in a few days. I might have a different story.:kiss:

Hope things get better! :rose:

Day one back to work. Im a happy girl. I am on light duty. I can't lift more than 25 pounds, can't be on my feet constantly etc. So far it is working out perfectly.

The boss is lugging the 50 lb bags of salt, I am chipping the 2 plus inches of ice off decks and sidewalks and parking lots the shoveling it away. Half hour later we are done at the property and I'm resting my foot in the truck til we get to the next one.

So happy to feel like I am accomplishing something again!

It's so nice to read that you're back at work and happy! :)
And how on earth did you lose 5 lbs during the holidays :eek: I did something wrong. It worked the opposite way for me. :eek:



Its good to hear you happy :)

I think its good for you to be occupied again.

For me its my first day back in routine too, with out G after his epically long festive break. Even though we kept up with house work some how house is FILTHY. Pine needles in lots of places. My sometimes houseguest arrives tomorrow I am not sure if for the week or if staying to weekend too. Hope only the week. :eek:.

On the plus side. YOGA CLASS again this week. Urgh, I have missed my class.

I am somewhat envious of the yoga class. I'm still under the weather and don't dare to work out. :mad:

Is your houseguest fun to have around?
 
My little guy dog LOVES him. And one of the cats really likes him a lot. All the animals are fond of him. But little guy dog loves him the best. If we were going on a family vote of the six of us it would come out four to two pro.

This almost sounds like all the pro votes come from the little critters... :eek:

It must feel good! Have a great first week back.
 
I think I need to get back into yoga. I am not as bendy as I was and it really irritates me

As long as your knee still bends past your ear, and you're GOOD leg can still wrap around a waist while in heels...you're fucking bendy enough.
 
I'm back! Impossible to log into Lit from the hotel room. Maybe blocked.

So lots of planes, trains and buses and taxis - plus Shank's Pony in the last few days.
My interim visa - a piece of paper - with a bar code, my photo etc. almost prevented me from taking a flight once. The guy had to check it out, despite my telling him I'd flown and taken trains, booked into hotels all along so far on the trip. Eventually he gave me a boarding pass.
Managed to get the paperwork changed at Customs - so hopefully that will be enough to allow my stuff in. It's been a long long saga. I am so sick of it - the effort, the time and money it's taken.

Plus it's cold and I hate winter!

I would say lots of exercise over new years but that was whore then. Paranoia that lack of moving would make me gain so all I ate for two months we eggs....pretty much.

Hey Jezzi. I hope day 2 and 3 went well at work! :)



Also, just because:

Speaking of exercise ;)

Michael I sure hope things are getting better!
 
Glad to see you're back at it, Jezz, whatever all the "its" may be.
And I think I found your 5 pnds.
 
Cutey dogs!

Jezzi, glad its good to be back at work. Show compassion to your ankle please. :)

Yoga was .....amazing. My body feels good for some work and my mind had a little stretch too, and we went WAY over time ( about forty minutes!) as it was all so good. I was invited on some workshops which I'd really like to go to, they conflict with Gianbatistta time so I'm hoping he would be interested to come or ok with me going on his day off. I think he will be cool about me going where my teacher is. :)[/QUOTE

I miss it. I used to do yoga (intermittently), but now I have two baby hips, each about two years old. I'm pretty flexible now, but not that flexible.
 
My yoga teacher does classes for peope who have had joint replacements, and seated classes for people who are in wheelchairs, or elderly. :).

There is yoga for people who have not full compliment of working limbs, who are obese, who are totally inflexible. The where you stretch to is not the point. ( I must repeat this to my self often!) but rather the stretch one takes! :rose: I practice yoga to maintain independence. I was VERY bendy in the past when I did yoga and dance! but my PRACTICE of yoga was not as good! I did not get half from it what I get now. Tonight my heart is very full from the joy of having a very baby play with the handstand chair. ( essentially I did what you might think of as a sort of down dog in the chair, so upside down) . No fancy, bridge, not a stand, just taking some pressure on to my shoulders. The posture was not ' impressive, yet....the yoga was not ' small'. :rose:

My Practice wasn't good before the hip replacements-- I did do gentle tai chi while recovering. Yoga is still the goal. I don't seem to want to accept that I can't do what I used to (even typing that made me grit my teeth!) I think there might be a teacher who works with people with new hips within an hour or so of here. I need a class, otherwise I won't practice as consistently.
It's good that you do it. Although I can't quite picture what you did tonight (beyond the down dog in the chair.) And I understood the word 'joy!' Good for you!
 
My friend, this is the lesson I struggle with all the time. :eek:. It blights me. But when you get past it, the joy is there like fruits in harvest time, there for picking. :):rose:

It sounds like you've been more successful than I have been. The thing I almost love most-- cross country skiing-- will be a challenge. I was too stiff last winter, but this weekend I'm going to see how much flexibility I've regained. That will be the biggest disappointment-- if I can't do it well anymore. That will be a big disappointment to get past. I hope I find that joy, either way. Thank you!
 
:D.

I am an exclamation kinda gal. Things always seem GREAT or DESPERATE. :rolleyes:.


As you know, I do not know this world of cross country skiing, but it am trying to extrapolate from experience, and it am wondering if part of the joy is the skill, and part is where you go and pass? So maybe your childlike wonder in surrounding needs to step forward and take precedence while your body's is allowed to explore its muscle memory with compassion?


Enjoy the wonder of it while my body recovers and remembers. That's what I'm seeing.

It's the skill, to a point. And the scenery I see while doing it. And more. It's a transcendent experience when all is right.
I should explain. There's the awareness I have of my body. Cross country ski trails and cover anywhere from two to twenty miles. I believe in going farther by doing less. You do that through balance-- knowing your center of gravity, maximizing your glide, using the right waxes. I feel in tune with everything when I'm skiing. When it's going well, I could sing-- and sometimes do.
When I was a student there was a graffiti on the wall of the dance department that read "movement gives rise to life." Of course there's more to life that that.... but I can't avoid thinking of that graffiti.
 
Glad to see you're back at it, Jezz, whatever all the "its" may be.

Well, yesterday's it...started off in a house that should be condemned. We had to do a winterization on this property and it is the closest I have ever come to tossin* my cookies in a foreclosed property. You have to remember, I have cleaned out refrigerators and freezers mud summer full of food that have had zero electric for months. This was much worse and it was the entire house. The Worst part? If the people do not get it out of redemption we will be doing the clean out. I see no reason they will even try to do so. It always breaks my heart to see children's rooms when I walk into these situations.

On a side note? I will NEVER eat whit burger buns again. There were two packages in the kitchen that was riddled with mold and not a spot on them.

I know adults who are slobs, and that's one thing.... but that really sounds unhealthy for the children. And consider that the next place they live will end up just the same. You're a brave worker, Jezzi.
