I had hoped to sleep in, but Balt had me up early. When were out walking, I had to wear a sweatshirt and it felt very September-like. The day seemed so wide open with not all that much to do. Even with Erika home, there's not enough laundry to do keep me busy for more than an hour a week now. I went grocery shopping, cleaned the kitchen, vacuumed the whole house, redesigned the newspaper t-shirt, created an event for the yearbook club, and met with a guy for an estimate for my tub replacement, all before 2pm. The tub situation ended up being not so easy as I thought. It was a really good thing I didn't rip out the old tub. I would have been in without a tub for a while. It seems I need an electrician before I can get the plumber. My jacuzzi tub needs to be plugged in and there are no outlets anywhere near my tub. So instead of calling an electrician, I'm going to return the tub. Erika wants me to use the money to buy a new front door instead, although she is pretty bummed about not getting the spa tub.
I made it to Hot Yoga today. It was a difficult class to begin with. I felt dizzy a couple of times and needed to lay down. My goal is to bring my mind to the present moment and cleanse it from the stress and neagativity. As I dripped in sweat, I could feel myself calming down, becoming more flexible, and feeling more balanced. I definitely need to do more yoga. I came home and made zucchini and tomatoes for dinner and watched a movie on Amazon Prime. Erika told me I would enjoy Must Love Dogs (2005) with John Cusack and yes, she was right. Romantic comedies are always a great way to finish a wonderful Saturday.
Jake (played by the lovable John Cusack): You know, but I think your heart grows back bigger. You know? Once you get the shit beat out of you. And, um, the universe lets your heart expand that way, and I think that's the function of all this pain and heartache that you go through and you gotta go through that to come out to a better place and that's how I see it, anyway. (great movie quote & words for me to believe in)
