Today I made a friend

And silly though it sounds it meant the world to me. Making friends as you get older can be oddly difficult. Given that I am a creature of habit (and boring habits at that) and a homebody, it means that I'm pretty much bound to never meet anyone new. That all changed today! Woooo! A yoga instructor (how first world-ly) introduced us and we had dinner andi t was magical and amazing and made me SO happy!

Lest you think I have no friends, that's not completely true. I DO have friends. And you can even see them! It's just that they have all moved away or live in Maine or something. To have a girlfriend here in Oxford is the ultimate treat! I have girlfriends in Oxford (not a total pariah) but Not enough! However, that is changing! Finally!

Pictured is a miniature violet which was a gift from my mother. I put it by my morning coffee spot and stared at it while drinking and it made me absurdly happy today.

Also? Totally a mini thunderstorm today. And rainbow. In DECEMBER! What the what?

And finally, yoga kicked my butt today and I was sweating. I'm not proud of this but one of the reasons I so love yoga is that I rarely sweat hike doing it (perhaps because my favorite poses involve lying on my back and pretending I'm dead?). Not so today. A sweat was broken. And my ass was whupped. Yoga, wtf. Why you gotta be like that?
