"and life flows on within you and without you."
A whole day off, what to do? Answer: apparently nothing. Today has been spent halfheartedly cleaning, doing laundry, and psyching myself up to go out of the house and do... something. I feel the need to be out instead of cooped up in the house. I understand why people go to coffeehouses to sit on their laptops now. Free wifi, sure, but it's nice to go somewhere and just sit and have people around you. In the same vein, more than ever lately, I've been that person who is always busy... I think it started as a diversion tactic after becoming single and I guess it stuck. I like it that way, though. I feel like I'm living a fuller, happier life than I was, say, a year or even a few months ago.
I yearn for a polaroid camera. I used to have one that was my mom's, and it must've gotten lost/broken because I can't find it anywhere. I wonder if you can even buy them anymore? I hope so. Sometimes you just need to return to the classics. Speaking of cameras, I found a few rolls of film while cleaning the other day that I need to take to be developed. I have no idea what's on them, but they have to be at least a few years old since I haven't shot manual film since I got my Rebel (for shame.) Maybe to get out of the house I'll make a trip to Randalls to drop them off and then stop by dad's house for a while, I'm bad about keeping up with visiting him. Sometimes I go two or three weeks without seeing him, which is ridiculous since I live in Lakeway again.
I've been thinking a lot about my body lately. Generally I'm really in tune with the changes it goes through, but not so great at addressing the root of these changes. There must be a reason I'm tired all the time and feel really sluggish and lethargic. I know I have issues with candida that still haven't been addressed, and I've been a bad vegetarian these past few months- too many carbs, not enough fresh vegetables. This is probably the reason my skin looks terrible, and even though it makes me unhappy I'm not sure what else to do about it other than attack the problem from the inside rather than out. I do everything right externally, so I'm starting to think my skin issues come from what I'm eating and things like that. I know my skin looked the best (and I felt the best) when I was going to the gym every day, taking vitamins, and eating a limited amount of processed foods. So that's what I'm trying to go back to. In addition to changing up my habits, I'm also looking into seeing a naturopath or holistic doctor to address my candida issues. Esther is also giving me my first yoga lesson at the springs tomorrow! I'm excited :)
My tummy is making bad rumbly noises. I tried tempeh for the first time last night at Whole Foods, and it had this weird fuzzy white stuff inside it that looked like mold. Seriously. I have no idea if that's normal for tempeh or not (Kristen please explain?) so I decided to stop eating it after a few bites to be on the safe side. The flavor was good though! And speaking of Kristen and tasty food, the San Fran trip is looking like it's happening the last week in July. I'm going to talk to my boss about it when I get a chance just to make sure there isn't anything crazy going on that week, and then I'm bookin' my flight! I'm not too sure how everything is going to work out in terms of what I'll be doing, but Esther's dad is about 30 minutes outside of SF via the BART and Kristen is in the haight, but transportation shouldn't be too difficult all in all. I need to start planning.
Random entry yeah! Time to go eat a salad and drop off those rolls of film, I'm dying to know what's on them!
