life after it all

my summer job is over, and that means getting back in touch with the real world and enjoying that beautiful thing called FREE TIME.

things I haven’t done in foreverrrrr:
go to a yoga class in Westchester

ahhh, it felt ah-mazing to stretch my poor beat up body… but it also hurt so good. My shoulder is less than thrilled now. Some poses came back easily with muscle memory, other poses felt foreign to my body.

the boy and I hit a huge milestone in our relationship….

our one year anniversary! (and I got him to smile in a picture, not an easy task…)

we spent last weekend in the city and saw the lion king on broadway. Actually… that was my long overdue Valentine’s/ 6 month gift… but better late than never, eh?

On our actual 1 year anniversary we headed back to the burbs for a fancy dinner (hence our spiffy outfits) at The Kittlehouse in Chappaqua, NY.

It has almost been a week since my summer job as the dance specialist at a day cam,ended but I’m still recovering.

Recovering from the physical demand of dancing my butt off for hours a day on cement floor and screaming still my voice was hoarse.

Recovering from the constant anxiety that I should be choreographing and working harder during any downtime in my schedule.

Recovering from the exhausting schedule. up at 6AM, out the door to workout by 6:30, starbucks, camp by 8:15, work til 4, socialize and/or workout, pray I go to bed by midnight.

Recovering from the crap I consumed all summer long– I couldn’t resist a midmorning cookie at camp, anytime someone brought dunkin donuts munchkins, homemade treats and vegan ice cream….

In the whirlwind week since work ended I am trying to give attention to all those things I neglected for 8 weeks– my overall health, my abused body, my ugly chipped nail polish, my eyebrows in need of a good waxing, my voice and my yoga mat that is collecting dust. It’s time to take control of my life again in these few weeks before I leave for California.

How do I create schedule and routine when I have literally no plans from now until September 19th? I don’t do well without routine.

and lastly, I have the greatest friends/ coworkers ever. They willingly do my silly choreography in front of the whole camp <3 imma miss stuff like this the most about camp.
