Yoga and ACCBO

I returned to my yoga class today. I hadn't been there in a while due to health reasons. Kathleen Perkins runs a very relaxing class for breast cancer survivors at the Breast Center at Good Samaritan Hospital. For just de-stressing, it's a fabulous class.

I'm going to look for something a little more strenuous once my port removal site heals. (It still hurts.) I'm looking at the Empower program which is a three month class in weight lifting for cancer survivors or to start some kind of martial art, probably Tai Chi. I dreamt last night of going to a Tai Qwan Do class, but I was disappointed because they didn't seem to do kata. Tai Chi is all kata, so perhaps that was the message.

I'm also getting ready to become a level 2 Drug and Alcohol Counselor. I've been gathering all sorts of documentation and jumping through hoops just so that I can sit for an exam in July. I went to ACCBO today to see if I have enough of the pieces and I do. Now I have to study for the thing.

In the meantime, I'm going to relax about looking for work. I need to take it easy still and not get frantic. I'm in no shape to be going to interviews, even though I'm feeling lots better. I still haven't managed to clean my room, change my sheets, or do my laundry for a while. When I manage to keep up with the self care that will be a step in the right direction.
