13 Days

Today’s Weight: 158.6 (Isn’t that ridiculous? I didn’t even exercise yesterday. My body is weirding me out with its whims. I spend a day being sad that I gained so much, then it’s just gone, poof, whatevs.)

Today’s Health: I still have this stupid cold. I feel like I’m drowning in mucus, but nothing I’ve taken so far is helping. I was doing pretty OK until I ate a big bowl of yogurt yesterday, which is just about the stupidest thing to do, ever, if you’re congested. It makes me sad, too, because I’m craving yogurt and I have this ginormous tub of Nancy’s Organic yogurt in my fridge, just waiting for me to tap into it. Luckily, I have a house guest coming this weekend, so she can make sure it doesn’t go to waste.

Plans for Today: Don’t get fired. Work a lot more than I did yesterday. Come up with ideas for the company newsletter (half taken care of), find out how much it is to attend a particular conference, invent a blog post, request information on a few projects, request some info from our PR agency that really should have arrived in my inbox last week, the basics of running a marketing department.

Also, really important – get my Halloween costume fabrics and make my costume! I’m going to be an owl, after years of thinking I might and then not getting around to it. You wouldn’t know it if you don’t know me personally, but I’m crazy about owls – have been for years. I’ll blog about the costume on my other blog, Compass & Quill, either later today or maybe tomorrow once I’ve had some success in my recon mission.

I’m not working out again today, but I’ll probably end up going to the sauna. It felt so good yesterday, and really made me feel a lot better. I also might do a small smudging ceremony over my body again today, which I did for the first time yesterday. I felt much healthier afterwards, and the smoke helped clear my mind, so it will most likely be a welcome addition to my afternoon.

Alright, back to the grindstone.

    So do I, lol! Unfortunately, it took me a lot longer to get my costume bits together than I thought, and I was shopping on work time, so now the grindstone-ing will continue into the wee hours, I’m thinking. Blech, but hurrah for almost Halloween!!!

Hello,

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!
