The start of the craziness of the holidays! Halloween goes by to quick for those of us that work retail jobs. Next year I am going to enjoy Halloween a lot more then I did last year. Already making plans to decorate more then I did this last year. I will not have to get much in the form of decorations since I already have some. The most I will have to get is a little black tree and a ceramic pumpkin. I wish my mom had not gotten rid of the two she had. Will need to do at least one cool costume as well.
The only good thing about this time of year in retail is the extra money you get from working overtime. I already have enough money to get the gifts I need to get for the few people I need to buy them for. I may even get something this year for the museum that they can use even though I have already given them a few things throughout the year. I never realized the joy I would have volunteering there. I think I have found a happy balance in the time I do volunteer there.
Work this time of year does make getting volunteer hours towards the end of the year hard. They understand why I can not because I am very upfront with them and tell them why I will be missing time. Which makes things a lot easier since I am upfront with them about it. Communication makes a lot of things easier. Wish more jobs believed in it. One of the big complaints about retail is lack of communication.
Will be doing a lot more at home yoga not that I will not have as much time to go to a studio as I have in the past. Will probably join the one of the studios near me at the beginning of next year since they have the option for a three month membership. It will give me a chance to get back itno organized flows and rebuild my basic practice. Plus it will give me a chance to wear my leggings in a studio session again. I got a new pair from Lulumon to wear to my next class.
If I do join the studio near me that has the three month membership I will be able to buy a mat from them and store it at the studio. Which will make it a lot easier for me to go to class without always have to drag my mat to the studio. It will also make it so that I can walk to the studio more as well since all I will need is a backpack. Since all I will need to bring back home with me is my wet clothes and possible wet towel.
I do need to keep an eye online for a yoga towels on sale along with looking for a new mat for hot yoga. I do not always like using a mot towel but I also need a mat with grip for when I do sweat a lot. The Lulumon Align leggings are great for hot yoga classes because they breath and are lightweight when you sweat. I may have to get some more pairs down the road if I ever can get a bigger studio practice again.
I did not thing I had wrote as much today as I have. I will get going now since I will be taking my youngest niece to the museum I volunteer at today so that she can hold one of the snakes there. She has been asking for a while and I have finally gotten time to set it up before i get to busy. After the beginning of the year I may get a membership to the Springs Preserve so i have a place to go at times.
I hope everyone has a good Sunday and a good week ahead. Until next week, namaste!
