Notes from a WILD start to the semester

 I took a hot yoga class! And I did not even get sweaty! To be fair, it was only 45 mins and was a lovely flow. There was only one time when I confidently popped up in warrior 2 and found myself facing the rest of the class instead of the wall. Lefts and rights are hard **shrug.** I do think I went deeper than I normal would on some things (skandasana, I am looking at you) because the heat tricked me into thinking I was bendier than usual. I will definitely be back-- I think especially in the winter, it will feel amazing. 

I am still loving decide-once athleisure Thursday (but this week, I have class observations and will probably level up a teeny bit)

Speaking of decide once, I have basically worn the same thing to teach so far

And! The snack box decide-once is rolling into week 2

This week Dorothy is in the snack biz, and we have added nutella sandwiches.  (her box also has strawberries)

Ben and I have also instituted a Thursday night cocktail hour where we go out for ONE SINGLE DRINK and come home to watch Big Brother with the big kids (who definitely used to be the little kids). It's perfect and low stress-- no reservations, asking each other what we're hungry for. etc etc etc.

I am a little underwater in-- checks notes-- all areas of my life. I have barely been reading (thank goodness for audio books!), and class admin stuff is all encompassing. I have 400 undergrads of my very own this semester and supervise the teachers of 1000 more. I think things will slow down. But! That[s why I am writing this n a Tuesday and not a Monday. Blergh.

It is getting dark and cold here, you guys, and I lost my very favorite fuzzy fall coat! I wore it to the last department meeting of the year in May (eff you Madison for still having coat weather in MAY), and it disappeared. I have checked the lost and found, etc. (I think maybe it just fell out of my bag between my building and the car) SO, YOU GUYS. I bought a replacement (NEW WITH TAGS) on Poshmark for $18!!

My IG algo is almost entirely messy bun hacks, and I am rethinking my hair cut at the end of next month...

(Not really. I am growing out my gray hair, and I think the best way to do it is to get an aggressive trim every 4 months until the weird orange ends are gone. IN A FEW YEARS).

More later because we had the best tme at parents' weekend!

But let me just say by way of closing (spoiler: not really a closer coming up more like just onemore random thing in a series of random things-- you're welcome). THIS MOISTURIZER is so good I use every single bit. Highly recommend and very gentle on redness-prone skin.
