All done my qualifying exams.
They’re all graded.
And my classmate and I passed all three.
WOOT!
Upward Facing Unicorn
As I embark on my second Yoga Teacher Training, I need an outlet to vent my frustrations with the whole process. Though I expect there will be many moments when I will not agree with what is being taught, I go a bit crazy when scientific findings are used as proof of concept for a completely unrelated topic. Grumph.
I chose the above pose because it was a point of contention between the teacher and me today. We disagreed on what is being “stretched” in this posture, and as it is a pet peeve of mine to hear people say back bends are a great “back stretch”, I challenge him. Let’s just say he chose his words much more carefully after that moment.
Checking it twice…
My Productivity…
…at its peak?
I tried to do some actual work. Then got distracted. And went down a rabbit hole of unicorn themed things. Shoes. Costumes. Bags… Happened upon this design for an origami unicorn… So of course I had to fold it!

Yipes! It’s been ages since I posted. My bad!
Been so busy with the whole move to St Louis that I have been slacking on my baking and general posting. Today’s post is a short narration of my move.
First, I packed a U-Haul and drove it to Central New York with my friend Jack.
Once upstate, we traded the U-Haul for Nancy, the car my parents have kindly given me (THANKS!). Jack and I drove Nancy to Indianapolis where, while looking for a motel to stay, we met Fievel, the mouse living in the hood of Nancy. Apparently Fievel wanted to go west.
We managed to find the last available room in the area, a non-smoking room with 2 double beds and cigarette burns in the blankets. Thank you, Budget Inn… NEVER AGAIN.
Once in St Louis, we unloaded Nancy, and I went for a run. People are so nice here. While running through the park, looking like a sweaty mess, people were like:
Basically, my experience in St Louis thus far can be summed up by this video, a video my friend Katherine introduced me to several years ago. It basically captures how the two of us experience the world… or something
Back to unpacking (and seeking out the best margarita in the city). Somewhere I have pans I can bake with….
