I am now well oiled.
Yoga was so, so good. Anna knew about my back being a stiff board so while in child’s pose, she gently pressed down on my feet and it was a major low back release that felt delicious.
I was so calm in savasana, but per usual, that calm has quickly faded and I’ve been racing around all day. Have I mentioned how much I hate moving? I now realize that in the past year I have moved four times already. How can that be? That isn’t normal. I should probably be a professional by now and this should probably be a relatively simple move, seeing as I’m only going 16 miles away. However, it seems I have accumulated a lot of “stuff” over the past six months and now all that “stuff” is sitting in the middle of my floor (thank goodness I never bought furniture!).
I can’t wait to be all settled and have everything neatly put away so I can feel some sense of organization in my life once again.
Sigh.
I’ve also been packing for Wisconsin because I have an early flight out tomorrow morning. Here’s a random fact for you—I actually started this blog in 2007 while at my grandparent’s house in Milwaukee! Let me present my first post ever, titled simply “airport adventures”. I was much better at packing little airplane lunches back then….all I did for tomorrow was slap some peanut butter on an english muffin and call it a day.
Lunch today was tempeh (1/3 block raw!) with hummus and honey mustard on yet another english muffin with an apple and some carrots

May 5, 2010 at 4:15 pmAre English muffins considered unhealthy or something?
Katie@ Two Lives, One Lifestyle
May 5, 2010 at 4:16 pmThat pile of “stuff” is always an inevitable part of moving I’ve decided. Have fun tonight looking pretty and drinking good wine! Safe travels.

No judgement, I once lived off of English Muffins.. I kid, I kid.. but I did eat them almost every single day for a while.

Beth @ DiningAndDishing
May 6, 2010 at 6:08 amI’m with you…moving is the worst!! It’s such a great feeling when you’re all settled into your new place though, right? I would suggest movers but I guess with no furniture there wouldn’t be much work for them to do :).
Corinne
May 6, 2010 at 7:07 ambefore you know it the move will be over! i think the best part of moving is the “awful” settling in. the redecoration process and making an apt/house into a home! aw, all yours and a fresh canvas 🙂
enjoy the wine and pink dress! looking forward to the recap jenna

May 6, 2010 at 7:10 amMy partner is from Wisconsin and has some family in Milwaukee. I’ve been to WI once, but to the small town where his family is from and let me tell you, as an Indo-Canadian, that was a very new and exciting experience! Wisconsin has amazing agrarian culture…and amazing local cheese! Have a great time!

May 6, 2010 at 7:17 amI’ve been moving every few years for most of my life and I’m still not better at it. I might be moving soon and I’m petrified of moving all my stuff to our new place where ever that may be 🙂
Heather (Heather's Dish)
May 6, 2010 at 7:28 ammoving is seriously such a pain. we just bought our first house last year, and because of the loan we can’t move until 2 years from now (3 years from when we bought it). i really couldn’t be more excited about being “stuck” there because i hate moving SO much!

May 7, 2010 at 12:59 amAw! I just looked at your first post and you were having problems with running even back then! So sad! What a long journey of wanting to love running and it not loving you back! I admire your determination, nonetheless! ;D
