Day 283: Good To Be Back

"Welcome Back"

Well, hello, Blogger. Hello, familiar interface. Hello, 23.36 as a start time, still with the intention of posting before midnight. Aaaaah, it's good to be back.

I have been blogging. Ish. I've written almost every night. I consider nights that happen during 30+-hour flights don't count. You can't really tell when they are anyway - you just know you've been up a long time and you wish you'd had the mettle to say no to the dodgy-looking muffin that was thrust at you to curb the boredom, but you know you pretty much never will. Aah, embrace it. Eat that fatty dough and be happy with it. It's all part of the experience! 

So yes, I wrote. I wrote a lot. I still haven't decided, though, whether I'll post those posts or not. I may, in the interests of consistency and courage, if nothing else. Or I won't. I'm not sure yet. The act of blogging every night was completed and I enjoyed it very much. That I was tired doesn't cover it. Tired I was, but envigorated and all over the place too. It was fabulous, but from what I remember (I haven't yet read back), quite contextless and weirdy. We'll see. Soon, I'll decide.

In the meanwhile, back to today. Bugger me, I'm grateful. For one thing, I'm still awake. It's 23.41. I've been up since about 9. Now I'm starting to feel tired, which seems very right. But I"m still standing (or sitting) and I'm ready to write. That's got to be good. 

I had a lovely day. The Hub was Annaless, which is never quite as good as when it's Annaed up to the eyeballs, but it was nice to be back. I saw Misters Hix and Reason, Lady Rebel and lovely Jen, among many others. William and I (and the Hixster) decided we'd do a thing and the thing is probably going to be something like The Eatwell Experience. We're going to start late August/early September and do a group balanced eating session - 21 days, all about eating in a balanced way, drinking water and playing a game/doing an experiment to see what it does to your mind and body. I've heard it said that 'nothing tastes as good as fit and healthy feels' and I realise I've never really been as fit and healthy as I could be. I suppose the closest would have been on the farm at Esalen - I was toned and fit from doing physical work every day, but I still ate a lot of gunk and wasn't hugely happy in my head. This time, then, will be a revelation. I feel great already, so imagine how amazing I could feel with a body clear of all the junky, sticky, achy stuff I often eat. I'm excited about that. We're going to talk about it at Thursday's Sexy Salad lunch. Wahay! Should be good.

Good times with Nikki - she's brilliant, and looking fabulous too, with new hair and everything! Great to talk to her. We shall do some yoga next week. That will be good. And then this evening. Thank you so much for my rich seam of lovely Em that I blatantly got to mine this evening. She really is something, that girl... A soul and a half. A real delight. We talked and ate thai food, swam and swapped. It was so good. SO good. I feel blessed, and she gave me one of the nicest compliments I think I've ever had, for which I'm almost floored with gratitude. Wow.

I left her just after the meal, to go to the supermarket. As I queued to pay, my phone went off, but I couldn't' find it. I crouched down and looked, and swore  saw it moiving. The aldy there was beign sligtly ex;reas]]sskvkkkkkkkk/  Oh dear... I spoke too soon. So, another girl and I offered up our phones to phone hers , then her mother's, so they can' get back to e by hometime. Then cn I go home? CAn I,can IO[[
