It's sunny outside. The birds are singing and the woman is sleeping in after an entertaining movie kept us up a bit later than usual. It was a luxury - and the sensationalism of the experience was incredible.
There have been many incredible moments in the past two weeks. Free group salsa lessons on campus, re-learning the brainstem, finishing the OSCE, watching flowers with a beautiful and fun person, and long/deep meditations.
I got the money back from that excellent trip in Turkey and briefly presented what the discussions were about.
My date is set and I feel focused, driven toward the goal. Things get rocky here and there.
Recently I had trouble viewing my health records but now they're available. I need to visit the doctor to get a TB test, history and physical.
I lost weight (and found some of it again). Crossfit is a fun cardio workout and it makes it easy to burn some calories and make some friends.
Two days ago I had a great day with R - we played catch with a medicine ball and exercised on the machines. I was having a low-focus day and it picked me up to just talk to her and try to alleviate whatever anxiety she was having about Sunday.
It's so lovely to have someone who speaks Spanish to practice with. Moreover, she's an upbeat person who keeps me in check when my pessimism or bizarre thinking interferes with me being happy. At the same time, I'm better adapted to handling large amounts of conflict, so I can support her when she is feeling overwhelmed.
It is May - which means that it's mindfulness month. I would like to journal every single day to build a good habit. I've heard that 60 days is the minimum time required to form a habit - so now is a great time to start.
A good morning kiss after brushing my teeth and washing my face is an excellent, mindful first activity. I think I will go do that now.
