I’m alive!

1 Sep

I don’t even know the last time I blogged. It’s been a HELLacious summer around here. I’ll spare you the details but briefly, in May, my grandfather died. Then in June, my MIL was diagnosed with stage 3 ovarian cancer. She had surgery in July and just started chemo treatments. So far, so good but cancer, man. That’s why my grandfather died. Then, last week, one of our cats died. 2 nights ago one of the black and white cats bit the shit out of my finger. I didn’t think anything of it at the time but the next morning, my finger was all swollen. $45 later, I had 2 shots, 2 antibiotics and a steroid. 

I applied for a full time job (didn’t get it) and a part time job (didn’t get it) and acquired another adjunct teaching job at another community college in the area. So I’m now teaching this:

Mondays: Humanities, Ancient and Medieval Philosophy, 2 yoga classes and a night Humanities class

Tuesdays: Eastern Studies and Intro to Philosophy; Group Power

Wednesdays: Humanities, Ancient and Medieval, 1 yoga and Bootcamp

Thursdays: Eastern and Intro; Bootcamp

Fridays: Power Yoga and Ancient and Medieval

I had to give up a few classes at the Y so I’m hoping (GOING) to add more running. Fall is almost here and I really miss a good run — I haven’t done much in ages mostly because I was teaching like 9 classes a week at the Y and my whole body hurt. I think that teaching more academic classes will be a good thing — my workouts can actually mean something and I will enjoy planning them again — I was seriously getting burnt out. 

I’ll try to stick around, share some workouts 🙂 IMG_4476 IMG_4524 IMG_4574 IMG_4605 in the meantime, here’s some photos of some fun things that we did during the summer IMG_4634 IMG_4655 IMG_4679 IMG_4720 IMG_4726 IMG_4729 IMG_4740 IMG_4748 IMG_4750 IMG_4765 IMG_4786
