Easing Back In

I'm very slowly easing back in to normal life after a whirlwind of Christmas activity. B and I decided to stay at home this Christmas in an effort to make our holiday far less chaotic than last year, and I'm sorry to say that our efforts didn't quite pan out. What is that they say about the best laid plans? Our "at home" time got cut short when the storm forced us to stay the night in Buffalo after the game, then I once again underestimated how long it takes to cook things, and then it was off to Albany to see B's family. Don't get me wrong, I love seeing everyone, but it's just too much to try to fit all of your visiting in for both sides of your family in the span of 4 days. I'd much rather take more time in a month other than December and actually be able to enjoy the visit. I'm very grateful that today is Friday and that there is only one day of work before the weekend.

Yesterday was my last private pilates session and she definitely gave me my money's worth - I'm already having trouble moving today. I learned that I push my shoulders down too much and therefore have weak rhomboids. I barely even know what my rhomboids are, but apparently they're very weak. I have to practice bringing my shoulders up a little. which looks normal if you see it, but it feels completely unnatural and like I'm permanently shrugging my shoulders.

On a happy ending note, B finished the huge 3 month deadline last night, so there should be no more working until 10pm and no more working every Saturday. Wedding planning, here he comes!
