Creative Meanderings

Well, my best intentions of late have been waylaid the past few days. Not without some positive moments as well. 🙂 Thus, let me share what has been happening.

On Thursday, we were in Dubai all day. I had made plans to go meet a few people from yoga about future work and collaborations. While that was only two meetings in the day, M also had a couple of appointments lined up with clients. It also happened that my SIL was in town on short notice for work; therefore, we were able to meet up with her, step-daughter and boyfriend for dinner. Despite being out all day and in Dubai, it was a fairly relaxing day and almost felt like a mini-holiday day since we were away from home. 😅

My weekends are now no longer weekends as they are my busiest days in the week since that is when people want lessons or sessions. Therefore, I had an early morning yoga session on Friday morning, followed by a coffee stop at friends’ to pick up my ballot and say hi to their little one. We had a few hours to relax before heading out to a friend’s 50th birthday party. Unfortunately, I did not pre-game well for this event, so a 2hr boat cruise with continual filling of my bubbly glass and very little food led to a bit of a messy evening. 😩While we had part 2 of the party on-shore, there was still not much food. Thus, the four tequila shots I did instead of drinking water or eating food ended up with a quick departure to home and a christening of the taxi (yes, again! 🙁 ).😳

Even though we left reasonably early, I was still in very rough condition come Saturday morning. 😷Although I had a lesson, I had to cancel it as an hour beforehand, I knew there was no way that I was going to make it. Sadly, we cannot afford for me to cancel lessons as the money I make on the weekend gets us through the week (or events like yesterday…). So, canceling one class was okay, but my Japanese lesson is worth the entire week’s of survival. I got myself about two more hours to recover, which I barely did enough to get to the lesson. While I initially felt unsure about surviving the two hour lesson, somehow I made it through and felt reasonably well the rest of the day, although I did have to cancel meeting up with some new friends in the late afternoon. The rest of the day was used to continue recovering and looking forward to a new day to start!😔

The new day started, and well, you read about that yesterday!😥

So, that happened. I have luckily had a quieter day at ‘home’ today as being a one-car couple forces me to take some time off. It has helped me to catch up on my to-do list even though I missed my mall walking today. 😉

Let’s just hope that this week continues on the upward trend and by the weekend I’ll have my car back!✌🏽️
