Grandiosity!
Apr. 24th, 2011 12:47 amLike a race car in the mud, I have driven myself into a rut: posting only on LJ when I am unhappy. And, dammit, I am not that bad off! So i am determined to post something UPBEAT and POSITIVE. I don't want to look back on this journal in a couple of years and be like "Dude, wow, I was miserable."
THINGS THAT ARE SPLENDID:
I am doing Yoga once a week! I actually have got off my bum and I am going out and taking a moving class doing moving things!![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
ancientwisdom recommended the Mukti Yoga studio in Bloomington, and it is affordable and enjoyable. I don't do the Vinyasa, which was too much movement and too much trying to keep up with folks, but I found a great balance in Kundalini style, which focuses a lot more on breathing, meditation, and bursts of (sometimes really intense) excercise. I *like* the more hippy-dippy stuff, dammit.
Having a roomate is kind of wonderful. That teeny bit 'o extra social interaction is great-- and he cleans the living room frequently and picks up after the cats. Win.
I HAD A PIECE IN A SHOW. *Word*. I am pushing to put other pieces, in other shows.
I am starting to meet other people who do art, and I am *talking* to them and EVERYTHING. The other day I spoke to 8. Different. Strangers. I am a small talk superhero!
Steve, my little tabby, loves playing fetch. All day. He has this tiny, dilapidated grey mousie toy that he will bring to me in his mouth and drop in my palm, and then will chase it down whever I throw it and bring it back. This is less amusing when he decides it is play time at 3 AM.
All my other cats are cute to the fourth power.
Mom doesn't have cancer! Mostly and sorta kinda! They took a look at her scans and declared her Mostly Cancer Free, i.e. she has, and I quote: "A little bit of lymphoma. We'll check back in a few years." She does have crazy Hep C, but very hopefully will be included in the new drug trial, which has an 80% success rate of curing as oppossed to the 40% that the current drugs have.
SHPONGLE IS PLAYING BLOOMINGTON. I have all the tickets. Or at least mine. GUYS YOU GUYS.
There is so much rain and thunderstorming and everything is explosively green and beautiful and pleasant in temperature.
There. Happy news.
