passing the time

J is on travel this week. It's always hard for me to say good-bye to anyone. It doesn't matter if I really will miss the person or if I really want them to leave, good-byes just knock me to my knees. Yesterday was a sad afternoon. I was down and little DG kept going to the garage door and saying, "Daddy?" Still, we try to have a good time while he's gone. It turns out, I have a lot of time on my hands when J isn't around. I spend too much of it getting caught up on household chores and watching obscure movies. Sometimes i even make good on being a healthier, happier me. This morning I was actually a healthy, happy, holy me because I got up at 5:30am and did a kundalini yoga set before making breakfast and getting DG out of bed. It was a short, 30min set (45 w/meditation). I remember the last time I did it I thought it was a nice little easy set. This morning it was just at the limit of what I could actually do. pathetic. Still, I got up at the crack-of-why-am-I-awake and did yoga. Go me.
