Four days into July I finally get around to this. Apologies for tardiness. On Saturday I had my hot stone massage exam and yesterday I went to see my beloved Foo Fighters at Milton Keynes Bowl. I learned two things: 1) Dave is much much better in small venues (he was tired and grumpy last night) 2) I am too old for spending the day in the middle of a field with nothing but portaloos and burger vans for comfort.
That said a teenage dream was fulfilled last night. Had my 15-year-old self been able to time travel, she would have flipped forward to yesterday as the great Bob Mould joined the Foos on stage for Dear Rosemary. I am not ashamed to admit tears. Some things are worth waiting 22 years for!
So July goals – well four days in and one is already complete but here you go:-
1) Take some time out to read more. As of next week I am not teaching group classes again until September which means some time to myself. This Time Traveller’s Wife Readalong I’ve been participating in has made me want to read more slowly, more contemplatively (is that a word?). This is my chance to do it.
2) Write more. I have some blog posts and other exciting projects planned. Stay tuned.
3) Rest more. No group classes for 6 weeks and a one week retreat with my teacher should help me get a bit more balance here.
4) Final assessment for Pilates teacher training. Yes well, wish me luck for that one.
5) Hot Stone Therapy training (done and done)
June in Review
1. Write the content for my new website. DONE – website should launch very soon, keep your eyes peeled!
2. Send out the final podcast (readers this is on it’s way but, once again, slightly late due to severe lack of voice this week). Watch out for a special offer now the whole series is complete. DONE – special offer upon launch of new website.
3. Pedicure, eyebrow wax, Pilates one-to-one session, book acupuncture consultation (I’m going to give acupuncture another go both for my migraines and this whole immune system/tonsillitus stuff that the regular dr seems so reluctant to assist with). THREE OUT OF FOUR. Have had absolutely no luck finding an acupuncturist but my osteopath is also a Reiki practitioner so we’re seeing where we go with that for now.
4. Book cat’s health check appointment. DONE. Damn cat needed £150 worth of treatment and only this morning Himself had to clean up four little vomit piles. Nice work cat.
5. Movement practice 4 x a week as of next week (health permitting!). DONE
