designed of natural you

spent the past few weeks moving into the new house in ballard. we began a painting spree during the first weekend of the month, and continued it after work every night for the subsequent two weeks. sunday we moved all of our goods in and i'm still in the process of packing up some odds n ends at the old place for a final trip tomorrow.

so much space! deck, yard and copious room are a welcome change. i've taken this week off and it's lovely to have the time to unpack and put things away at a semi-liesurely pace. i begin summer quarter next week with two courses: history of jazz and geography 110, about which i am very excited.

the natural balancer and stimulant that i've been taking to compensate for the slow thyroid and hormonal imbalance have been working wonders--i have so much energy! this new place is a block away from a public pool and sean & i have committed to swimming each morning to get into better shape. my goal is to be more fit by the time i head to una's wedding in the yucatan this october--it will make ruin trekking much more enjoyable!

things are good. i can't really express how much feeling physically better has contributed to an improved sense of well-being. gone are the intense mood swings and days during which i cannot imagine dragging my exhausted bod out of bed. it's absolutely wonderful.
