Today I Identify as a Potato
For as productive as I was yesterday and the day before, today I am much more of a potato. A couch – potato.
I woke up at five as usual but I was struggling right away. My eyes were so heavy and I rubbed them more than a few times trying to get the sleep out of them so I could go through my routine. Cold water on my face and then I drained my water bottle and brushed my teeth trying to wake up. I got dressed… and then laid down for 30 minutes until I had to get up at six am.
Some times, no matter how great the sleep was (and it was chefs kiss deep sleep last night) our bodies are tired. Today was such a day.
Once I sent my husband off to work I did the Restorative Valkyrie Yoga and just hugged my yoga bolster and breathed and breathed and breathed. I drank two cups of tea by seven thirty, and had breakfast.
Yesterday I worked on and built out my brand kit for the new website and started working on some templates, and then created a spreadsheet to organize things a bit better on my end. Today I reviewed those things and started coming up with more ideas for things I needed to design. But I just kind of jotted them down, because my brain was foggy and unfocused today. I fully blame my luteal phase for this one, because I’m like four days away from starting my period and my brain usually goes to soup right about now.
I decided against walking Yrsa today, not because of my low energy but because of the smoke. The fires in Canada are choking us with smoke, and the world outside was hazy and dry and smelled of fire. So we stayed in and played several aggressive rounds of tug of war, Yrsa’s favorite game.
