So Random

We had tickets for the Calgary Zoo which expire soon so we figured we'd go on Saturday since it was going to be so beautiful. I try to look for opportunities to be nice to strangers even though I'm still uncomfortable doing so. When in the penguin exhibit I saw a couple trying to take a photo of themselves with their super adorable toddler. I went over and asked if they'd like me to take the picture for them. They guy looked at me and asked if I went to Silent River Kung Fu. I looked at him oddly and said yes. He said he went there too but had to leave a couple years ago as an orange belt for knee surgery and told me how he's been thinking about coming back. We chatted briefly and I told him I just started back again and encouraged him to do the same. I'm hoping he does.
How random is it that I try to do an act of kindness because of Silent River Kung Fu for someone who went to Silent River Kung Fu in Calgary in a penguin exhibit.

Howdy!

Finally feeling so much better. I'm not sure what happened but after starting to recover from my chest infection I kept feeling like I was choking on my own spit. Gross. Not sure how I got all this, it's not like I was licking the seats on public transit or anything. Anywho, I'm glad it's over. Now I just seem to have a never ending runny nose. I'm like the sick kid in class no one wants to sit beside.

I'm in a conflict and confrontation school seminar this coming week on Thursday and Friday, so I'm not sure if I'll make it to class. Good news is though, I get the summer off of school and just have one more course and seminar to go and I AM DONE. For now anyway, until I find a job with a company that will support my goal to write the government exam. Woo hoo!

I decided to join a running club. I'm not sure why. I hate running and clubs so what possessed me to join is beyond me. Seemed like a good idea at the time while I was bored and medicated, and Josh had a gift card from the running room he hadn't used so I went for it. Looks like I'll be running 3 times a week. I'm going to try to incorporate yoga back into my life too so I'm not getting too stiff. I feel like if I run 3 days a week, do an hour of yoga 2-3 days a week and kung fu classes Wednesdays and Thursdays, I'll get back into shape.

I'm pretty happy the way things in my life are shaping up. I may feel different about things after my first run though. I'll keep you posted.

OMG!!!!

I don't hardly ever use the term OMG, but I have to share this I'm so beyond excited. Josh's family is taking us to Maui for Christmas. I've never seen the ocean and am beyond excited. I will be done school by then and will get to have an actual vacation. I'll be there Christmas and New Years eve. AAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!
I'm at work, and had to share this news, I'm bouncing in my desk chair with anticipation.

Catch Up

An ear, throat and chest infection really through a wrench into my plans last week. I was finally starting a new routine and then kablamo...hello fever and congestion! I'm feeling so much better now. I didn't get to practice my stick form yet like I was hoping, but I did mental reps so I didn't forget it. I just learned it last class and I do not want to forget.
I went to physio today, the first time I left my place in 5 days, the therapist commented about how much strength I've seemed to have lost since last time she saw me and lectured me on getting back into an exercise routine. Yeah...I know...I have no excuses so I just hung my head in shame.
I am getting there though, I feel like I'm getting back on a really good track after being lost for awhile.
Anyway, thought I'd type out a quick blog before I start catching up on my school assignment. Ahem, we all know I'm probably going to watch a cat video or two before I get started. Who am I kidding? Mr. McKee, if you could somehow incorporate cats and pandas into your vlogs, you'd really be saving me a lot of time.
