First things first, here is my Tuesday #MomUpdate, “Mysteries of my mom.” And on with Tuesday.

It’s gray today, and chilly. One thing about Chicago: the weather will do whatever it wants to do, whenever it wants to do it. We’re tough people, we can take it.

But my arms are cold. Hoodie time.

It’s a second-cup-of-coffee kind of day, and I made it without any internal struggle. I just decided I needed it and there it was.

Well, I mean I took all the steps to make coffee, I haven’t perfected coffee telepathy yet.

Yet.

I’m still doing daily yoga, but now with Gaia, I have worlds more latitude. Today all I wanted to do was yoga, and the right practice just appeared as a suggestion. It helped, too.

We set so many rules for ourselves, arbitrary rules, rules, if we sat to think about them, we couldn’t quite explain the rigidity. With everything going on, I’m trying to be more fluid.

And drink more fluid, apparently.

OK I’m going to take that as a hint to stop for today. Have a great Tuesday.
