Today is Memorial Day, no work today to catch up on household chores. It's nice to have a long weekend but even with the extra day off I'm still trying to catch things up. Let me sum up the weekend.
Saturday - Hot yoga in the morning with Alesha. 2 months in and I finally got the crow pose down! I remember seeing this pose for the first time and thinking how?! Now that I'm practicing yoga and taking the meditation and breathing into my daily life it's really helped me with my anxiety. I'm really glad that Alesha took the challenge to join me too.
We hosted dinner at the townhouse (first time having guest over) Calvin's sister, Carol wanted to know when I would invite her over to see the place, so Calvin asked if we could host dinner and make hot pot. Ended up inviting Carol, Shane, Wilson (Calvin's childhood friend) and his gf Sharon, Eric and Alesha's original plans cancelled so they stayed home too. It felt so nice to have good company and a great space to host.
Sunday morning - hiked Heather Lake with my Aunt Vannary, Eric and Alesha. I really need to get out into nature more. I can't wait to hike more this year. The view at the end of the hike is always worth it. It just makes you remember that in life you'll struggle but it's worth it in the end.
It's cool that Eric and I have a good/close relationship with our Aunt Vannary, she's 7 years older than me and being able to talk to her about life now and our family and striving to keep our family bond strong is amazing. Our family is huge, it's not perfect and it takes work. We have to be careful and keep the communication and bond strong.
After the hike we went to our Aunt Vanno's to eat banh xeo. I am a person that cannot do 2 activities at once but I really wanted banh xeo LOL. Luckily Eric and Alesha and I are on the same wave length and we always wanna go home at the same time.
Although Alesha and I did sneak off to Ross to look for storage stuff for the house. I love that she and I have become close. Seeing Eric and Alesha in a happy healthy relationship and growing as a couple is so great to see.
Today - laundry day/cleaning and I took a nap after Calvin left to go to work. I really needed a me/lazy stay at home day. Even if it was just doing laundry, binging on sappy netflix movies and sitting down to write this blog.. It's now 7:48 pm. Already almost time to go to bed. At least its a 4 day work week.
Oh yes one last thing! Neil is coming home at the end of June for a few weeks. This makes me so happy. I miss him lots and I'm excited that he stays with us and now we have a bigger home, it will feel so full with him here.
Today I had to up my dose of antidepressant from 1 pill to 2 pills. I know it can take 4-6 weeks to really "notice any changes." I feel good though. Things feel better. My period starts in a week and usually the week before my period is hard. So far, I'm coping ok.
