Finished the jar of Nutella tonight. Could cry.

Tweaked my back doing yoga today. The teacher uses a very different system than I’ve seen before and she was super ambitious & I am super unflexible. Pain. It was probably good in the long run for me b/c it’ll straighten out the curve in my back? Looking on the bright side.

Nutrition became an endless mass of numbers and gibberish sometime yesterday. It was so much worse today. I’m hoping to some day wade my way out of the gunk but right now, it’s all baby steps. The kids in my group are really terrific to me and help simplify, say encouraging words, all that sort of thing. I’m so grateful because learning is harder for me right now than I ever imagined it could be. What happened to the days of hear it once and remember forever? Sigh. Now I listen, talk to teacher, write it all down, stare at the notes, read through the books and want to cry because none of it is sinking in. I’m operating on 2cyllanders, trying to get back what used to be there and am really relying on the possibility that once upon a time I knew this information. Goddess help me with the new material! It’ll have to be common sense all the way.

My new flatmate was cracking me up earlier with tales of woe in the life of a three-toed sloth. Did you know they can swim but can’t walk? So if they get swept out of their tree in a rainstorm (monsoon, shall we say?) and get left on a tree in the middle of a field and have eaten through all of its foliage, what do they do? Sit there and sigh and think, “bummer dude. the leaves are gone. i wonder when it’s gonna rain again”? OK - maybe you had to be there. I may not be the smartest woman in my class but I am certainly pushing for dorkiest. And to prove it, here are some photos of our cow class today! (Luckily, the pictures of me were taken on another camera and are only available on Facebook - if that. Haha.)

   Memory is just a muscle and will spring back with more use. Try ignoring the negatives about what you are frustrated with and ‘know’, really know that it will all happen perfectly and that your memory is working perfectly

   afterall, the information is really in your head, I promise.
