trying to get back into the swing of things

Since I’ve been back from Houston I’ve been trying really hard to get back in to the swing of my yoga and gym routine but it’s been hard to do that. First of all, it snowed last week and that really threw every off. The whole city shut down for about 2 inches (max) of snow, and it was actually gone by 1pm. Crazy. Rich hasn’t been feeling up to working out, so if he goes with me and decides he’s done I’m usually talked out of working out in favor of grabbing lunch. I know, right?

I"ve also been working a lot more lately, trying to pick up any extra classes whenever I can so that I can make a little more money. I’ve never really tried to make money as a yoga teacher, instead I"ve just been happy to do something that I love that pays the bills… but with Rich being unemployed right now and not having any luck with his job search, I’m going to have to work as much as possible.

Last month we had to put one of our dogs down, and now we just have one dog left… and he’s got some medical bills that go back to this summer. He was attacked and his health went downhill, he had to be nursed slowly back to health with some antibiotics before he could get treatment for some parasites, and he had his first treatment last week. In a few more weeks he has another appointment… It sucks that we’ve had to spend about 2000 bucks on dog bills in the period where Rich is unemployed, but neither of us is willing to let the poor dog die right now. He’s a good boy, we love him.

Ugh, I’m kind of depressed right now, thinking about all of the potential stress and sadness that could come my way. I try to remind myself that none of it has happened yet and that there is still reason to hope for the best, but I’m really finding it hard to stay positive.
