sunny spring

The blue jay brought on spring
I'm slow to adjust to the warming weather 
a new jacket would help.
I try to spend all day outside.
Yesterday I woke up early and went to yoga at 7:30 
pushed and pulled in the one on one instruction 
I spent the afternoon biking around the city
forcing myself to bike rather then walk the hills
the extra gears on my new bike help.
I couldn't help having a nap 
woke up with sushi at Dharma with the Spaniard.
He told me about a magical deer island in Scotland
the perfect setting for a movie, a reason to go to.
Went to Laura's to do some sewing while she cleaned
we had had lunch earlier so didn't need to talk so much
she is finished neuroscience.
I had an epsom salt bath 
started reading a Yannick Murphy book 
which I will bring back to Danielle in Montreal.
Today my legs hurt without even moving
a good reason not to go to yoga 
instead I borrow a roommates bed to read and drink tea in all morning.

business trip extravaganza






On Monday I caught a plane to Toronto 
watched Charlie Chaplin stifling giggles
and listened to classical music 
reading Burrows' Naked Lunch
Went to dinner with my boss & co
ate salmon on lobster artichoke risotto 
and talked about the metaphysical.
Met with my summer roommate Keren
took the subway to the suburbs 
and discussed joyful living
Woke up early with song lyrics
got ready for the meeting
and walked around Queen West
Gave the pitch to Treehouse 
felt good but overwhelmed
and caught a cab to the airport

Business trips are fast and make you tired but inspired
