Five Things on a Tuesday

seren_ccdHowdy!
1. I'm feeling much better about life and things in general. I mean, it's still January, but it'll be February on Friday and that means that time is passing and I think that's a good thing. But boy howdy, this month has lasted for at least a year. Sheesh. So, I think I've turned a good corner in regards to the fellow I broke up with. We've kept it friendly and even talked on Sunday. I've returned things he loaned and/or left at my place. When I hung up with him, I had the thought that if I never spoke to him again, I'd be okay with that. Not in an angry way, just - it's done. I took a risk in starting a relationship and allowing myself to be vulnerable and, for the most part, it was fine. A good experience, even. But it's over and I can move on.
I have to say, there were definitely some things about him that would NOT have worked out long-term. For example: not really a dog person (which I very much AM), sometimes used 'females' when talking about women (which sometimes felt like a bit of a red flag), didn't like the Princess Bride (I know, WHAT?!), and I always got the feeling that when a situation arose that would involve compromise -I'd be the one doing the compromising. Y'all, I already had that kind of relationship - I ain't doing it again. In short - I'm feeling very good and sure of my decision to call it off. The sadness and loneliness are lingering around the edges, but they're moving on.
2. I started exercising again! I went to my very first yoga class last week and loved it. I'll definitely be going back.
3. I'm also going to fold 1000 origami paper cranes this year. I'm teaching myself origami and if I make 3 to 5 cranes a day over this year, I should reach 1000. It's really fun.
4. Who actually managed to write and type up 2,500 words of the next chapter of 'a tide of hope' this weekend? THIS GIRL. WOOO!
5. Has anyone watched 'The Terror? It was an AMC series on last year about the Northwest passage. It looks intriguing!
I hope everyone is okay! Happy Tuesday! ♥

Date: 2019-01-30 07:46 pm (UTC)2) Exercise for the win! My man & I are looking into starting Tai Chi & I'm super excited about it. Wanted to try it for years, and I think it will be kind to my crappy wrists which sadly yoga was not so much.
4) Wheeeeeeee words!! Sounds like it's gonna be a nice long chapter and I am here for it!

2. I know folks who swear by Tai Chi. It's a really good work out!
3. It's coming! I'm going to work on it this weekend. There's going to be very little Billy and it's almost totally Abigail centric. Which feels appropriate for this month. :P
