TWWs
Starting the week as the beginning of Ramadan and a good opportunity to use it as a way of getting myself back into regular practice for myself even if it is a short session. I need to get my meditating on too, so will see how we go this week. May 28th (Sunday) 35′ light…

_Poems of Paul Celan_ translated by Michael Hamburger
_Poems of Paul Celan_ translated by Michael Hamburger Somewhere I found this title on a list of books that one should read and so I put it on my Amazon wishlist of paper books to remember for later. My mother likes to give physical presents rather than ecards or vouchers so one Christmas a couple…

FWPs
First World Problems (FWPs) should seem so trivial and yet I ungratefully linger upon them. Despite having a roof over my head, extra weight on my body proving I am eating well enough, pets to love, a house full of electronics and so much more, I wallow in self-pity and dark corners.

Lots of TV time
Well, the past few days have seen me more on the couch than out and about. I realized this morning that I have barely – I have done so, just returning quickly 😉 – left the house since the weekend. The days go by rather quickly and I generally do not notice that I have…

TWWs
My workouts are still stagnant. I need to get myself moving or at the very least outside in the sun. I will aim to do more of that this week since my schedule is (fortunately or not) freeing up. For this week, I managed: May 21st (Sunday) 60′ Ladies’ Wellness Yoga May 22nd (Monday) 60′…

Stop Calling Us “Girls”!!!
M says I “have one on me” lately. For the non-Brit readers, this means something similar to “having a bee in my bonnet” or simply being generally irritable. 😛 It is probably true…. Between fighting depression and wanting to sleep, hormonal imbalance, feeling fat these days (no, I know I am not, but I feel…
