Stand at the front of your mat

Back on track with yoga and then a walk around Jamaica Pond. Yesterday I lost too much time in the morning because it was Thursday and I slept late, then got backed up with the fam. Ended up sitting down to work in my nightgown. Then meetings. I did get around the block once, then took a long walk after dinner. I ended up walking enough, but the rhythm of the day was thrown off. I need to figure out Thursdays. I ended up with wine and chocolate cake which I enjoyed, but still. Watched Unforgotten.

Today is the kickoff of the new website. I'm excited to leave the old one behind. The firm is transforming, shifting and streamlining. So many people have left to start re-imagined lives. We're not going anywhere for three more years at least. Is it time to step up to full-time and try to get a promotion? The extra money could buy me a home. What does it mean to be this relatively rich and feel unsettled. Temporary. Waiting for 20 years. As a child, you think you can live in any house, not understanding that the die is already cast. Bah!

I enjoyed reading the Once and Future Witches. Full of slightly alt. history and feminism. Now I'm reading Jo Walton's final Thessaly book. Florence before I die. Shall I start a list? Again, thoughts spiraling down. Maybe it's the teen angst music spawning middle-aged melancholy.

Things are moving quickly now. I need to step thoughtfully forward to a better life.
