Day #12: Afternoon

True to form, I’m feeling pretty worn out right now. It doesn’t matter, though, because one way or the other I’m dragging myself to Bikram this afternoon. So far today I’ve eaten two eggs with a piece of buttered toast, a burrito, carrot sticks, and some of my favorite snack ever, Snapea Crisps. I’m not hungry at all, just feeling a little worn out. Totally should have gone running this morning to get my energy level up for the rest of the day.

Have you ever tried these? They’re awesome. I dig the Caesar flavored ones (but they’re more of a creamy ranch flavor, imo).

Oh, did I tell you guys that I ordered a new exercise video set to work out to on days when I wake up too late to go to yoga but don’t feel like going running? Yesterday Groupon was running a deal on Shaun T’s Rockin’ Body workout series, where the whole package of 7 workout vids was only $20. After reading the reviews and seeing the before and after photos of people who used the series to lose weight, I thought it wouldn’t be that bad of an idea to add it to my collection. It’s all about dancing, which I love, so I figure I’ll at least get my money’s worth. If you’re interested, the deal’s still available on Groupon for the next couple of days.

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!
