Connected with some friends over phone calls
Talking with friends over the phone almost always lifts my spirits. Over the years, through some tough life lessons (including divorce, burning out working at Amazon) that I no longer place all my eggs in one basket. I follow this mantra for multiple areas of my life and that includes my social fabric. It’s just … relying on a single person places too much burden on them, I think. This includes romanetic and non-romantic relationships (dear God, am I turning poly?)
- Talked on the phone with Brandon (WhatsApp voice call)
- He actually moved from Seattle to Japan! So proud
- He said that my little nudges helped propel him forward and follow his dream
- Hopped on a short call with Kristine (WhatsApp voice call)
- Her and I have been trying to link up for a while and jokingly (I think) she said maybe we’re finally able to talk because it was a full moon eclipse (I have no fucking clue what that entails and will research it)
- Caught up with Kennedy (FaceTime audio)
- We’ve sort of fell out of touch after her visiting me here in London
- She’s going to message me some dance academic papers since I’m interested in learning about dynamics (and other concepts) from both a theoretical and practical point of view
- Exchanged some Instagram voice messages with LIYVZ (IG messages)
- As mentioned in this blog post, her recent video inspired me and I reached out to her to share my joy
Today
- Stretch – calves, ankles, and squat
- Meditate (paired muscle relaxation) and concentration exercise
- Pick up Elliott from school and celebrate her classmates birthday (potentially in the nearby café due to rain)
- Visit Waves of Focus online class
- Revisit Pilates / Yoga instruction
- Reach out to Mercan to see if he wants battle 2 vs 2 for upcoming battle – he said yes! I’m excited and we’re going to plan on training together over the next few weeks in preparation. I’m both excited and nervous
- Posted on IG about the creative dance project bridging computer science and dance – sorting algorithm with house dancers
