Cold as a witches tit.

It is so cold. Cold to the point that your body starts to hurt. Even my teeth are cold. I am bundled now in bed with turtle and tea, watching a documentary on Tom Petty. Oh I just love him so much.... "Oh, the days went slow, into the changing season Oh, out in the cold, for all the wrong reasons"

I headed to NYC today for an appointment with a kinesiologists (a movement doctor). He is a very fascinating man who picked and pulled my body for an hour. Overall I am open minded about it all and excited for my next appointment. Only downfall is how far it is. I have to say I have fallen out of love with NYC. I am just not a city girl, not that I ever was but I felt like it a bit in high school, maybe more Brooklyn. Everyone is moving so fast, I just want to stop them all and remind them to breathe.
But I was reminded about the perks of NYC, subway systems, hotdogs, the best pizza and grand central.

I will be headed to NYC again next week, maybe I will be a little bit warmer to it. Sorry New York City, I like your older brother upstate New York much more. It smells better.

I am heading to another city tomorrow, good old bean town. I am looking forward to seeing friends, eating twin donuts and dancing the night away. Not looking forward to red socks fans and again the cold.

Oh Spring and Summer, come back!

Just in time for the New Year

Six months flew by. New Zealand was everything I wanted and more. Dunedin will forever be one of my homes.

I arrived back into the states after many planes and small side meals. Felt good to drive up Narrows road and see the Christmas lights. I was welcomed home by Miss Barbara and two lovely cats. One fat and one skittish. Smokey RIP. Being home feels good. Clean house, good food and great company. I forgot how loud everyone was but I am slowly getting back into the swing of things. Having everyone over for Christmas was amazing. My family is full of different characters but when they all come together, it just works. Lots of pasta and meatballs and many cookies. I sat on the couch full as can be listening to stories. I learn my 85 year old grandma has a boyfriend, good for her. My Aunt got so stoned she rub and hug everyone’s faces. It really was a great day. Ended the night watching Sex and the City with my Dad and Ira (commentator one and two).

Woke up to whole wheat French toast. Now sitting with Babs as she does her morning stretches, it feels good to be back.

So excited for more visitors, going back to bean town and eating pizza.
