i took a day off from intense homework and workouts...i had class in the morning then PT/ART session in the afternoon...(i'm sore from the PT this morning!)...then spent time at whole foods...shopping for my weekly groceries...not in a hurry...not on a saturday when it's crazy busy...just me and some other folks...before work was over for the day...
when i got home...j was home...he was able to escape early (by a whole hour) from work...he cleaned up some of the construction mess that was in the studio...and i cleaned the house...plaster dust is insane...let me tell you!...after some time together each with our own laptop...me reading food blogs...j doing work on the magazine...we made some really tasty stir-fry and watched a movie...
sometimes giving ourselves permission to just relax for an afternoon is so much better than struggling to get some work done that you don't want to be doing...you can have a few minutes to recover from a hard week, a hard workout or just a hard conversation...i think that recovery is just as important as getting things done...it's like the relaxation pose at the end of a yoga class...you are giving yourself time to integrate your yoga practice into your body...and for me those afternoons off are the integration pose for what had been happening in your life...
today we get back to work...
