Packing A Lot In

Several of the last posts have been basically a Jon's List of Craig's List. If moving and the sales were all that was going on I would be busy enough, but the last several weeks have been much more busy than that.......

So busy that I haven't blogged about anything not related to the move since the middle of February. And that was a pathetic, Facebook cut and paste re-cap of January. I have a lot of catching up to do.

January Re-Cap

January in February

So for February and March I'll do a similar re-cap and will hopefully follow-up better than I promised in January.

February in March (Almost April)

Took the 6 am Kick, Fly, Breathe (Martial arts cardio, conditioning with aerial silks and little dose of Pilates and yoga) at The Power Plant, a great class, challenging but lots of fun.

The first day of the month seemed to indicate that February was going to be a glorious time.

today sucked on a multitude of levels, and yes I know that I have a lot to be grateful of so please don't remind, today sucked, let's leave it at that and I'm sure tomorrow will be a better day, or not.....

The second day however...

So to be sure the month was going to have it's ups and downs, with much in between.

Much of the stress was getting the house ready to put on the market.

January 23--House goes on the market

likes sleeping on the floor. It's firm and grounding, as an added bonus you don't have to make the bed. Now off to San Francisco, hurray.

February 3 at 3:24am

Just in time to not be at the house for the first open house for the public February 5

February 3 to Feb 7--Skye and I drive up to San Franscisco to hang out with Cindy and celebrate her birthday.

Jon Danniells

did not plan on going for a 2 hr jog through San Francisco this morning, but....left the lovely Nob Hill apartment, down to the Wharf and the Golden Gate Bridge looked so inviting and not too far away, got lost in Presidio Park, through Pacific Heights, overshot the apt and almost ended up back to the Bay.

More, much more on San Francisco later....

We had to be back so that Skye could rehearse for her part in Romeo and Juliet, she's Juliet. And so she can go to various Girlscout meetings for her Mojave Encampment, and the Tasting Bee and....

had a great day yesterday, farmers market in the morning, jujitsu, introducing Skye to udon, a wonderful dinner with friends cooked up by chef Skye and topped off by home made artisan chocolates (brought by guest) and lots of story telling. Yummy yum yum. A delicious day indeed.

Along the way, one must stop to smell the roses, so to speak

Jon Danniells

sees toxic streams and rivers of emotions running around my feet and I know from experience that things get better.
At the end of the day, I know emotions, compassion serve us better as humankind than instinct, but .....the struggle is a just that none the less

February 13 at 8:27am

Wait a second what happened to smelling the roses?

Second open house--Feb 14
