Welcome to the new year

It’s getting busy around these parts!

I’m still dating which requires a fair amount of energy and time.  It’s weird to still be in the formal/getting-to-know-you dating stage.  It’s just so different than the rest of the relationship experience.  Far more stressful.

This week I am starting a remote/online life coaching thing.  I’m not sure how much I’ll talk about it, but who knows.  I may chose to make my thoughts public down the road.  It involves a weekly conference call and daily “exercises”.  I’m interested to see the results.  I’m still doing weekly sessions with my personal therapist as well.  It’s been been a thought provoking journey and I’m glad I’ve stuck with it.

This weekend I will be in Vegas with about 20 of my friends and family  It should be a nice relaxing weekend.

I haven’t been to yoga in a couple weeks due to holidays, travel, and being sick ALL this past week.  It just seems to be a really bad cold, not the flu, but I do not recall the last time I’ve had a cold like this.  It was a good kick in the butt to get back on my vitamins and other healthful routines but has done nothing for my attempts to lose a few pounds before going to Paris in April.  Oh well, I’ll get back on that when I’m better.  The nice thing about yoga is I can’t “fall behind” really.

And next week, after I get back from Vegas, I start my weekly pole dancing class!  I’m still very excited about that!

My schedule ends up that I only have one week night free each week and then the weekends.  I’ve been doing a decent job loading up weekends with dates or girls nights though

After Paris in April I have new baby birds (chicks, ducklings, goslings, and turkeys!) showing up.  I need to think about garden prep soon too.  The baby birds will have me grounded for a couple months at least though, but I think I will have done enough travel by then though.

Oh! I used some frequent flier miles for my Paris trip, as I had been planning on doing, BUT I still have enough miles left for ANOTHER international flight.  I’m thrilled!  I have to think about where I might want to go late this year or early next year (and save up some extra cash for it).

I bought a new bow over the New Year and I’m pretty excited about it.  I need to make time to practice regularly at home (when I’m no longer sick) and I still really want to try to find a league.  I also hope to make it to the mountains for snowboarding at least *once* this season.  I need to get on that too.
