Quarantine Day: 6+?

This morning I woke up before the sun and taught some kiddos English. I had all my favorite students today which makes getting up early worth it.

Then I had my morning computer time and went on a deep dive into this Facebook group called "House Plant Hobbyist". Its seriously the best group on FB ever. Lots of people post about plants, literally anything about plants and everyone in the group is so supportive and positive. I love it. It makes me happy. I probably spent about 45 minutes just looking at plants and posting suggestions and comments...

Yoga time was next. I wanted to get out before the sun took up the backyard space. Theres a nice concrete patch thats perfect for my mat. It was in the shade for my whole practice! I did a long and slow flow and felt super calm and connected after. Not to mention all the great music that they play through that app (Down dog). Its a free membership until May for anyone interested!

Ty and our roommate decided they needed to get some work done on the house so while they were up on the roof, I was on ground duty. Anything they needed, they'd text and Id bring it to them. Important work for sure.

I scrounged for lunch and then did a quick ab workout on my app FitOn (its free for now!) and then packed up to head to Aldi.

Going out to confined public spaces stresses me out so much. People aren't cautious. they walk so close to me and I try to get away and get so much anxiety. Too. Many. People. Also being overly aware of how much I touch other surfaces or how much I touch my face is anxiety inducing. Its crazy how in a month I went from just living my life and hanging out to not wanting to leave my home and being on guard whenever I leave. I wonder how much longer this will last...

But I made it home and got most of what we needed including lots of delicious salad supplies for healthy meals!

Once home, it was shower time! I definitely didn't take a shower yesterday so It was necessary today. It felt so great to get clean and use my new shampoo bar. I am OBSESSED with those. I love how they foam up and leave my hair so clean! If you haven't made the switch yet, do it soon, you won't regret it. I was mad I didn't switch sooner!

Anyway, shower completed, organization of room commences. I recently found a FREE new dresser on the side of the road a couple weeks ago and finally put it together and now have to organize all the stuff that I have. Its nice and clean and organized now. Woot!

I started to take the sheets off the bed to wash them (cause Im finally clean, so should my sheets be) but the machine was being used so now I have to put the sheets back ON the bed... Oh well...

I just got back from a virtual walk with my mom and cracked open a cider and am going to get ready for bed. Tomorrow is a work day at the museum. Grateful I still have a job right now, even if its for just a few hours... Hasta Mañana!

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...
