Last night, I returned home and made a salad. I felt like trying to be healthy. I think I have been decreasing my results by overthinking and ultimately, guilt. Guilt is such a powerful emotion. I must release my feelings of guilt when it comes to what I ingest and inhale. I enjoy the social aspects of drinking wine and also the health benefits.
I made a salad and chatted with my aunt. I will be visiting her in Minneapolis next week and wanted to touch base on our itinerary. My friend, Shari, also lives nearby and so I wanted to coordinate with the two to arrange a dinner or dinners. My aunt seems agreeable and I appreciate that very much. I have spent time in Minneapolis but it's been ten plus years. My last visit was in February. I'll leave it at that. After confiding in my aunt that I would be interested in reflexology or something along those lines, I retired to bed. I could use a good night of sleep and wanted to do just that. I fell asleep and then was rudely awakened by a rustling of bottles. It was nonstop and so my first thought as I refused to open my eyes was that an animal was rummaging through the trash. A quick disruptive search through the garbage. It wouldn't stop though. I look outside and there is a man throwing recycling all over the alleyway. I want him to stop but don't want to get involved. He won't stop. He walks to another spot and decimates the trash there. I think I can stop listening and then he returns. A car alarm goes off which I think will force him out of our alley. Instead, he intensifies his crazed search. I try to block him out and he keeps going. I see an officer and lights on him. It looked as if they were trying to help him find whatever it is he is searching for. I finally fall asleep and awake to debris all over our alley. I have no idea what this man was looking for or why he was not escorted out of the alleyway. It was disruptive and incredibly loud. I thought about calling the police and then thought-why, what will they do? Is this what we are heading towards. Apathy and inability to have results?
I, sincerely, hope not. I mentioned it to a few people while working and they knew all of the drill. How people are going through trash, actively, and how they do not care how they leave the trash everywhere. It is annoying!
Today I woke up to some mixture of snow and rain. Definitely the type of day to remain indoors, couch side with a blanket and book. I made more coffee a little bit ago to nestle in and inspire more reading. Jenn wanted to meet for sushi but I am growing tired of dining at the same spot. I suggested another place and she felt it was too far from her house to make it work. I declined to meet her. I prefer staying in and making soup. I have lentils, carrots, onions and a few other items that should make a nice soup. And, the weather absolutely motivates soup!
I attended a barre class this morning. I wish there had been a yoga class that matched up my day today. Unfortunately, they keep changing the classes at my gym and the other studio, I attend, did not have any class that I wanted to check out this morning. There is a class at 5:30 but that requires moving my car and finding parking. I think I will do an early class tomorrow instead.
Enjoy your evening! What motivates you on rainy days?
