one week

what a difference it can make.

i went on yoga retreat and now everything seems so much easier to deal with. it doesn't mean that nothing is happening but somehow it's more manageable. (things that have happened upon my return - clearing the air between friends, hanging out, mourning the loss of a lovely cat, strategic planning with lots of wonderful people and one person who LOVES the sound of his own voice and is an arrogant prick when he is at work - otherwise he's lovely too - chores, and test-driving a new gym).

and i am completely back on the animal. i was totally veggie (except for at my cousin's wedding since everything veggie had serious amounts of dairy) for about 4 months and all it took was a day long yoga practice and all i wanted at the local pub was a bacon cheeseburger. and there were tonnes of veggie options too. today i had chicken for the first time in a long time and my brain totally said "welcome home" when the chicken went in my mouth. maybe it's a seasonal thing too.

anyhoo - not sure what my intent was in posting this but, hey, it's words that are filling up space in an unoffensive manner. i have a new yoga toy - toe-spreaders - they hurt but they work. on the retreat we just called them "toe torture".

here's a yoga freak off the internet. where did her hands go?


now to bed.

i thought you had a toe spreader already... or was that something else (bwa ha)

no seriously, the foot arch thing - didn't that make your toes spread?

ok - i have to apologise for the previous comment. i feel like toe spreader is just a dirty phrase. i can't help it! and i can't actually explain what i wrote - but it stands! toe spread bwa ha!

um those are my other yoga toys - my footstones. those rebuild your arches in your feet. these toe spreaders work on decongesting the fascia in your toes. kind of the difference between working on the palm of your hand and working on the joints of your fingers. either way, you can tell that i'm in deep - 2 yoga toys for 1 appendage??!!

jess said...

oh ya, and something about toe spreaders is funny. except i think of margarine. you know, spread??

Julia said...

seriously, my brain is so damaged right now. because toe spreaders somehow sounded dirty in my head - it's not devolved into the phrase 'camel toe' swirling around my braing.

must sleep now!

and seriously dude - you have mocked me for less than this type of obsession. i'm too tired to bring up a specific example, but it's there...

jess said...

okay.

i really hope that you are sleeping and getting nasty thoughts out of your head.

that was too much for even me. i really wish that you could see what they look like to know that it is also too much for you.

Julia said...

see what i mean??? damaged. now lets delete the comments and pretend it never happened.

jess said...

there will be no deleting of the comments. no way, jose.

i need proof for future blackmail or proof of your craziness and gutter mind (a trait which i also am proud to share).
