So.. I haven’t been keeping this as up to date as I’d like to. I’m going through a huge time of personal change and upheaval, which is apparently sparking all kinds of creativity on a lot of levels I don’t typically see. It’s kind of like my brain doesn’t shut down anymore, it just keeps kicking into higher and higher gears. Sounds great, but it’s a bitch for my sleep cycle.
Why Ari, what is it you’re doing?
So glad you asked, nonexistent prompter! I’m consuming under 1200 calories a day, still off soda and booze, 30 minutes of recorded activity, 60 minutes of hard cardio, 60 minutes of movement meditation a day. I’m down a tshirt size and feeling pretty good about hitting the necessary goal to cough up a kidney by the time we get through all the initial stuff.
Because that’s not enough change, I’ve found a bunch of our processes I can streamline and automate (that’s sexy in datageekspeak, trust me).
The domicile is getting a needed facelift (more on that as it concludes- I have a whole post for the dining room we never really used as a dining room turning into the Den of Geek).
In short, I’m changing, my world is changing, and that’s… well, awesome, but also freakin scary as hell. And tiring as hell.
So today was really a great day- because it proved that in the middle of all this chaos in my life, the constant is the people that believe in me and support me. That want to show me how much they appreciate me to the point of devising elaborate schemes to be sure that I’m super surprised. Like repeatedly.
While I cherish and value that recognition, I find what brought me to tears is the realization that no matter how much is changing in my world and how violently different things can seem, I’ve got people who care enough to trick me. Twice.
Finding my people took a very long time. Having their (kind of knowing, but not the whole shape of things) support means the world to me.
