I’m not feeling the writing bug tonight, so keeping this one short.  I went to Zumba this afternoon and had a blast dancing.  Still looked pretty gawky and not-so-graceful, but I had a lot more of the steps right this time, and there were a couple of other girls in class who weren’t that amazing, either.  Can’t wait until the next class rolls around.

As for the rest of the day, I ate well, and have some calories left to snack if I feel like it later.  Not sure what I would snack on, as we’re pretty low on groceries, but maybe a bowl of soup or something.

My Bliss Love Handler came today, and I’ve applied it twice already.  There were no immediate effects, just cool and tingling sensations, pretty much like rubbing on some Icy Hot.  I put it on both my core area, as directed, and also on my arms.  I figured it couldn’t hurt, and maybe my arms will get a little tighter as a result.  I also found out today that the Planet Beach directly under my gym has a hydrating infrared sauna pod.  I’m not interested in tanning at all, but monthly membership is really cheap at this location (half the price of another one on the other side of town), and it includes Mystic tanning and a few other spa services.  I’m thinking about doing it, if just to help trim up as I continue to work out, and maybe get some color on my pasty thighs.  We’ll see.  I’m still weighing out the pros and cons.

Gotta get back to work.

I’m Nova

I have no “personal brand.” I’m not a girl boss, I’m not an influencer, and I don’t aspire to be powerful, inspiring, or rich. I probably can’t teach you anything, and there’s a good chance that there’s nothing at all of interest or use to you here. This is just where I come to talk about the random bits and pieces that make up my quiet life as a sober woman in her 40s. I’m engaged to the love of my life, have six (yes, SIX) indoor pets, and spend a lot of time gardening and hunting for thrift treasures. I also study classical voice (I’m a lyric coloratura soprano) and am deeply interested in all things spiritual and paranormal. Right now I’m trying to recover from career burnout and even out my personal energy, but my eventual goal is to become a medium and shamanic healer, using music to remind humans of the things that actually matter: connection, community, and loving all living things as though they were our own children. I may or may not talk about all of these things here (and sometimes all at once). Welcome!
