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...

Runners High

At 12:30pm, I stepped outside for the first time all day. I hadn't really even left my room until I realized that if I didnt go outside, I probably would bum it all afternoon. I put my running shoes on and bounced outside. I started walking and after I got myself settled, I started to run. After being cooped up, those first few steps of an outdoor run is so magical. The feeling of freedom, fresh air and adrenaline is fantastic. I always have a mad smile and excitement for being able to move so fast. After my first few minutes of running, thats when the exhaustion sets in. What keeps me going longer, is adventure. Do I like running? Not really. Do I enjoy exploring? Obviously. I decided to check out a new part of the power line trail that I have not seen before and ran up the hills, or on straight path, and walked down hills. I went to the beginning of the trail and back again, smiling at the other people who were also out for their afternoon walk/bike. The sun came out and it...

To Brittian and Back

Today Amber, Dana and I woke up early to go on an adventure. 6:23 to be exact. How I know that is because Ty had to call me to wake Dana and I up from our very deep slumber. I sprung awake and got ready in record time to try to help Ty jump his car. Only it didn't work so we had to wake up my roommate to drive us all. The three ladies convened at the dock where our boat trip would leave. We were all a little tired but mostly excited for our long overdue adventure and being tourists for the day. We started our tip with about an hour long boat ride to Virgin Gorda, British Virgin Islands (BVI), the three of us talking about anything and everything that came to mind. Once we got to Virgin Gorda, everyone on the trip took a taxi over to the baths. The baths (BVI) are a geologic structure in which volcanic rock is pushed up near the water to create tunnels, pools, arches and grottoes. There are only two baths in the world, one being in the BVI, so it was super cool that we got to go...
