Rainy days....not!

YAY!

I don’t know why I’m in such a good mood on a Monday, but here it is, deal with it. I’m assuming it’s the overabundance of sunshine, that definitely helps, and promises of even warmer weather to come.

A few other things that might contribute to the good mood: We had a really nice weekend. Nothing fancy, but a nice weekend. We registered yesterday which was one of the WEIRDEST things ever. But it was fun too, once we could let go of our protective layer of “we really don’t need anything” we started to loosen up with the gun and really let go for it. I knew it was getting good when I asked John if we could go back to scan the “pedicure massaging water spa” heh.

Saturday I spent a few hours with mom, I’m not going to say it was easy. I went in to it with my Tolle in my head. I was going to be “present” with mom. I was going to stay open and aware and then just BOOM! As I told John later “I was totally present, she was just annoying me to death in the present.” So yeah, but Tolle often says that these are the real tests, the ones you just can’t seem to get, and I’m really willing to use mom to educate me on this whole thing, to let her be my “spiritual test” and to be more open with her and less frustrated. We had a really great talk this morning, both apologizing for being snooty, so…

We went to Sabrina’s birthday party on Saturday and that was way fun. John and I can be quite charming when we want, and we charmed some lesbian pants off of some people. But I drank a little too much. I swear, it’s gotten to the point where I barely drink at all and yesterday, I really felt it. I was hungover, sure, but mostly I felt it in my legs, in my back, in my arms…everything was just…tired. I hated it. I’m still tired today and feel like a whimp and like a warrior at the same time. See, I kind of liked that I really noticed a difference in how I felt, that I really do feel better with exercise and good food and no liquor, so when I really feel poopy after some drinking (not even that much!) that makes me feel good!And then this morning to get back to the routine of it all, good hearty breakfast, good lunch, green tea, a run tonight…I think I’ve finally gotten to a point where I can admit that I do feel better living a cleaner life.

So yeah, it’s a good Monday. Remember that, I might never say it again.
