Na'vi

Yes, I saw "Avatar" like the good sci fi/fantasy nerd that I am, the capitalist that Americans are expected to be, and the cinemaphile I pretend to be. I, too, am fascinated by blue people with pointy ears, prominent cheekbones tails, and a physical, tangible connection to their ecology. The idea of a species that co-evolved with nature fascinates me, and not just because of the screamingly obvious metaphor to Earth. And now for the Fibro connection...well, there isn't really one, other than the fact that my poor little nail beds are blue right now.

I unintentionally skipped the gym yesterday--forgot that I had a Girls' Wine Night, which made it impossible to hit the gym for weights and a swim in the evening, like I'd planned--whoops. However, apparently getting up early helped my sleep a tidbit. I was out like the Red Sox in the 2009 World Series (Go Yankees!) by 9:30pm. I remained dead to the world until 3:30am, when I woke up ready to start the day. After a short, less than kind, conversation with my body, we agreed to make an effort to go back to sleep. I'm not gonna lie--I rolled over so many times I'm surprised I didn't get dizzy. I forgot to take my melatonin before bed, though, so all-in-all I count that as a success.

It's getting colder outside, so the game plan is to run on the hamster wheel at the gym again tonight. I'm hoping to make it to the 7:30pm yoga class afterward, too. I miss going to the Hot Yoga class I went to for a while--it did wonders for my joints and flexibility and sweating out every available ounce of liquid in my body was very cleansing and relaxing.

So far this week has gone well, and I feel like I'm mostly battling to overcome the residual weakness and sniffling from my sinus infection, rather than fighting Fibro. Here's hoping it stays this way...well, not the sniffling.
