Trek America: Photos

As I can't think of any decent content to write this week I thought I'd do a post on my Trek America photos - can you believe it's 2 months tomorrow since I flew out there. Time is going so fast!

I haven't written in AGES.  I have been pretty down in the dumps and haven't felt like writing.  A variety of things, starting with the stress of trying to find a job and not knowing if I could stay in the country or not, followed by moving out and cat sitting on my own for 6 weeks, followed by being led on and rejected for the 2nd time by Morrison followed by some family stuff at home making me feel a bit anxious, followed by moving back into my house and not feeling part of the flat anymore, followed by my new job being utterly ridiculous put me in a pretty shitty semi-constant mood, and it was a vicious cycle as I come home from work grumpy and exhausted and not want to join in flat festivities and hide in my room, which meant I only isolated myself further and made me feel lonelier than I already did. And with my impending birthday - the big THREE OH, being in a state of flux, realising that I was in the same place I was in when I left London 2 years ago - flatting, in a jo

Yoga

Alas, my month trial of hot yoga has come to an end. I am really going to miss it.  When I come back from the USA my plan was to pick up swimming again, but I am wondering if perhaps I should do the yoga again too, except it's so bloody expensive. I have learnt lots about my body this month.  I learnt that I can put it into all sorts of weird positions, and then hold the position.  Balancing is all in the mind - it requires focus.  If you think you can do it, you can. Deep breathing helps - it distracts you from the task (and usually the pain and discomfort) at hand and focuses your mind on something else.  Half pigeon hurts, but is bloody good for you.  I love Shavasana.  I am not as self conscious as I thought I would be.  Trying new things is good. I always thought yoga was for hippie types and I just didn't 'get it'.  The "ommmms" put me off, the weird pose names put me off, the deep breathing put me off and I thought it was just a fad.  But I really

End of year roundup

I thought I had an entire year to update on, but I forgot I did a post back in July - to be honest not much has changed since then.  It's currently 10am on one of the most beautiful weather days we have had in ages, but I can't enjoy it fully as I'm laid up with a sore throat, achey body and cough - annoying timing! I've been beating my body the last few months so I guess it's to be expected - my first proper break in a long time and my body's like nah- enforced rest, lie in bed all day.  So where did we last get to...   I went back home for August, which was an....interesting....experience. I never quite feel like I belong now - the UK doesn't feel like home, but it used to be home, so it's not like a holiday because you're stepping back into a life you used to live but it's moved on without you, just as you've moved on without it.  It costs so much money and takes so much time to go back that it should be a holiday, but it just isn't -
