Body: Waking Up (walking, yoga, stairs, fruit & vegetables)
Mind: Quietly Curious (reading in French, meditation, yoga futurism)
Spirit: Calm (meditation, walking outdoors, dog, friends)
The sleepiness which has dominated my first days in Victoria is, I think, starting to pass. I did some yoga on Monday which started the process of waking my body up to the possibility of exercise, something it hasn't experienced in some months thanks to the weird ribcage issues. Said issues are, by the way, now either gone or else very subtle, which is good.
I ate a bunch of wheat in the days preceding and following my flight, leading to a bit of extra lethargy and other symptoms, so I've been cutting down in the last few days, and that also seems to be helping.
Living at Mark and Karen's place of course means lots of fruit and vegetables. We just got some amazingly sweet and lovely oranges.
I'm still feeling fairly mild in terms of my mental and spiritual spaces, though generally in a pleasant way. I'm beginning to get a little more of an appetite in these areas, though, so I'm going to a bookstore shortly to get a slightly easier French book to read (I'm hoping for some Asterix). On the spirit end of things, I'm beginning to feel an urge to try something engaging like writing.
In any case, some semblance of a routine is starting to form. I am feeling a little bit less like a guest and a little bit more like a roommate, bit by bit.
Tonight we are going swimming. I haven't done that in about a year, so that should be a blast!
