A Lot to Report

Ok, I'm back after two weeks. A pretty eventful two weeks.

Last weekend, our sisters fully broke in, and blessed, our new apartment. About 45 sisters, oblates, and family members were present and it was a great afternoon. The apartment feels a little more full and warm now. Check it out HERE!

We also have Carrie's dog Daisy at the apartment with us now. After a 2-month probationary period, we passed and went to pick her up after work on Friday. 24 hours later, we were back in Erie with her in tow. She's already made herself right at home. I don't think she had much trouble.

In health news, I'm still trying to stick to my new routine: Yoga and diet. This includes attempting to mostly cut out red meat...which will probably be harder than it seems. Now and then I can tolerate it, but I can live off of chicken, turkey, and fish just fine. Made some pretty awesome turkey burgers and tacos with ground turkey this week. Tasted just fine to me. 

In work related news: I have a completely new classroom full of toddlers now. There are 8 total, which means we are finally at capacity with less than two months left in the season. 8 little toddlers between 18 and 24 months. Quite a challenge, but who doesn't like one of those every now and then? Throw in a few monitorings and it makes for an interesting few weeks. Never boring, though.

This week's yoga pose is a breathing exercise:

Begin sitting with your legs crossed, arms and hands by your side.
As you breathe in, raise your arms above your head, hands together.
Breathe out and bring your arms and hands back down to your side.
 Do this for 5 breaths in and out. 

Benefits:
Centers mind, body, and spirit
Helps control breathing
Relieves stress
