Chin Strap
Mar. 7th, 2007 12:54 pmNothing starts your morning like an old lady with bat wings and a bathing cap with a chin strap saying "You're only as old as you feel!" in this very crotchety-old-lady voice.
Because yes, I did spend this morning at an 8 am aquacise class with![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
rosefox. 8 am! I didn't even let the snow thwart me. I have this lovely mental image of me with Danielle X in her mini cooper going to the beach... in bikinis.
Yes, this is clearly a lofty goal, but I figured that it was time to step it up. I've worn a bikini once in my life, withgmonger at the country club with his family. And I felt very nude. Toute nue.
I spent the last two weeks or so going on and off Raw every couple of days/hours, and honestly, it felt SHIT. My whole body chemistry felt like it was changing, and my energy level and mood tanked. I'm back on the horse now, after buying lots of snack-type food to stock in my fridge and my shelves. Raw life is easier with a fridge full of berries.
I've had a lot of thoughts recently about my self-identity, and how it's changing, and whether or not that's OK with me. I'll definitely devote a complete post to it in the next two or three days.
I guess it's been perpetuated/exacerbated by the fact that I've behaved very nestingly of late. I'm falling into comfortable happy routines and I'm losing the things that I prized so dearly of myself in Africa. Or feeling like maybe it's less appropriate to reference so many things in my mind (and out loud) to things in Africa. Not that I have been helping/can help it...
After swimming class,rosefox and I went to Target and I bought towels and a shower curtain, and plates, and things that people buy when they're not planning to run off to other countries on a moment's notice. I guess this is really something I should email with one of my "Africa friends" about...
Before I forget, is there any interest in getting a group together to go and see the Edward Scissorhands Ballet with me sometime in the next two weeks? It plays until the 31st at the Brooklyn Academy of Music.
And, because I'm a lemming, here's my silly crush meme:
