Sweeping

Hey there, this is a calm Tuesday morning and I'd like to gather my thoughts before I head out.

I noticed that I can imagine a flickering fire flame when it comes to how my mind jumps around. In the morning my mind is hyperactive, but my body is most definitely not. During yoga practice last week I visualized the flame and how I can turn it still and change it's color and kind. This is a good tool for me I think.

Today it's definitely jumping around. Maybe this is why I turn to knitting these days, it keeps me in repetition and my mind just barely attending to it.

I've been doing a 'supermarket diet' -- a very balanced, healthy meal plan with readily available food from the supermarket. The recipes are insane and the quality of my meals has made leaps and bound upwards (plus I lost 5 pounds), but now at week 3, I don't have a set menu to follow and I am trailing a bit behind. There has been a dishwasher accident (where I fell on it and broke its door -- it was open), and I have mountains of dishes to make. This is slowing me down.

I must leave now but lo and behold, I am doing ok and trailing up, I think.

Good things:
Nice meals
Knitting gifts and doing the online knit-along
Shopping books and bags
A friendly office space
A respite at work
