Real Life Halloween

Few weird things have happened to me today (and this month). Kinda spooky things. Its Halloween season after all. More strange things may happen before the weekend is out, so stay tuned.

I was just scrolling through old emails, came across a resume and cover letter for one of my career classes that had me fake an application for a "future" job I potentially wanted someday. The date on the cover letter was today.

I was cuddling with Alex, scrolling through Facebook or something and out of NOWHERE he flips out, flies out of my arms, hits the wall and is standing on my bed, back arched and staring at a spot just to the right of me. He has never done anything like that before. I tried to pet him and see what scared him but he just kept staring at that same spot. Something unseen to me which was also right next to me. He hasn't come back in my room for an hour.

Earlier this month I had the house to myself all night. I slept roughly and had weird dreams/nightmares. One dream was that someTHING had gotten into my place via my unlocked door. I woke with a start and felt like I couldn't move. The thing was still in my mind and it felt like it was still there. It took all my courage to flip over back onto my side (somehow the dream had me twisted in a weird shape) and I had to convince myself that the door was locked. Its always locked. Still, I was up for about an hour after that and I didn't sleep well the rest of the night. The next morning I went to leave my apartment and the door was unlocked.

 Sometimes the dresser behind my door creaks which isn't a big deal, but just now I heard it sort of thump. I ignored it as usual but then heard it again. I was listening to music so I couldn't really hear it, maybe my ears were playing tricks. The next time I heard it I went to pause my music, stopped moving myself and then heard "thump, thump, thump". I had a mini heart attack and then went to open the door realizing that Alex had somehow gotten trapped in there and didn't care to more for like 10 minutes after I closed the door! Alex, the almost black cat is really enjoying this Halloween thing...

Red = Passion

Yesterday, I had a shit-eating grin as I was winding through local streets, pedaling and feeling the warm breeze in my hair. I recently, in the last month, moved to the DC area and have been struggling to fit in and find my place. This month, Ty and I got our own room in a place that we share with a few others that are our roommates in our new town. But there are still so many things that are missing in my life. I need yoga, rock climbing and freedom to get around on my own. On Tuesday afternoon, I took that first step at transportation freedom in the form of a two wheeled vehicle. I took the metro to Virginia which is a bit of a ride from my new home on the Maryland side. I stopped at one of the last metro stops and walked out into the sunny, nice weather. I was meeting someone from craigslist who was selling a little, red Schwinn bike. I exited the station and immediately saw the little red bike being held up by a sweet looking, older man. I introduced myself, took the bike for a...

Guatemala: Day One Adventure

The following is a conglomeration of journal writings that I made about my travel day to San Marcos, Guatemala and some additions to make it all run together smoothly: 11/5/15 6:60am Chicago I JUST made my first flight. It helped that the dude behind me in the security line was on my flight. We chatted a bit about travel and it eased my mind a little. I get so stressed out when Im not early... I had to take the earliest bus from Milwaukee at 4:30 am. I slept three hours. 10:55am ATL I think I smell... I didn't do that deodorant thing this morning. Whatever. I had less than an hour layover and had to run through the huge ATL airport to get to my gate. I got there with a bit of time though which is nice. Im between two not so fun humans. One is a very large man who thinks he can have half of my seat (though at least he seems nice) and an older woman who I don't think speaks good spanish or engligh. Also, when she's passed out its fine but as soon as she wakes up, the ...

Yoga Teacher in Quarantine

After a few harder days, today was much better. I went into work on Tuesday and it stressed me out so much that I made myself sick for two days. But, back on track today. I got to sleep in cause I didn't have any online classes. I had some very vivid dreams about house shopping and traveling... I woke up, had breakfast and did my 20 minute sun bath. Yesterday I didn't set an alarm and got caught up reading my book and accidentally got sunburn. So today I set an alarm. No sunburn and still felt great. The sun greatly affects my mood. After my sun bath and a little bit of relaxing, I decided to do my "Fiton" classes. Just some short exercise classes to make me feel like I did something. Im trying to improve my fitness and exercise also helps my mental health. I have been feeling more mentally productive, awake, and happy because of it. For lunch, I prepared a salad for Ty and I. I love a good fresh salad. We ate outside on the patio in the fresh air. After lunch...
