movin'

lots of movin' with me lately.
major move #1: early morning shift at work. by workday is now from 5:30-11ish am. yeesh. that was a pretty hard adjustment. after three weeks at it, i'm feeling pretty good. it's nice being done by noon, but nap (which i have always cherished) are like gold. got the puppitos trained pretty quickly on the new schedule. if they go to bed with me, they are ready to get up to go outside right when my alarm goes off. if they stay up with everyone else, then they are super groggy when i make them go outside in the morning. it's pretty adorable.
major move #2: room relocation. after 13 years, give or take the time i lived out of mom's house, i've moved above ground. the windows are fantastic, i love laying in bed and looking out at the sky/stars/trees/moon. this coincided with my move to the morning shift so there was a whole lotta new to adjust to. the dogs love it because they can sleep with me now since they don't have to brave the downstairs disaster that is keyn's "man cave". and the room is totally amazing, thanks to mom.
major move #3: really movin'. with my shift change i've been able to go to the dog park almost everyday and it's been fantastic. nature, fresh air, walking with my puppitos: all fantastic. they love it. i love it. and i'm feeling really good. it's about an 1- 1 1/2 hr of walking each time. one day we did a 2 hr loop and it was good, but i was a bit sore the next day so then we had to take it easy. pretty sure i'm not hydrating enough since it's been so cold. will work on that.

minor moves: i'm getting back into creating. i've started carrying a little blank journal with me to jot things down. think i've a got a new idea to turn into a story.
and i'm drawing again. no painting yet, but i feel like i'm getting there. pinterest has really been helping me to feel inspired on that front.
also have been dancing to my records in the afternoons.


good and good and good.
