I think I probably say the same thing every few entrys, but i need to get back into shape. I also need to figure out what to do for freelance work in the midst of all the (non-paying) band chaos.
I used to photo assist, so I could get back to doing that a little. That's been one of the plans, but I've been putting off getting in touch with people until the holidays were over. Then the holidays ended and i went to SF to start recording. I can also do primitive web design (I put together www.adornbodyart.com ) and very good photoshop manipulation and any other post production stuff. Oh, yeah, I'm also a commercial photographer.
Why am I listing all these things? I'm not sure. I think I'm just reminding myself as to where I can try and scrape together some work.
So yeah, gym. Yoga. Health. I've been meaning to get going on this stuff forever. I used to go to the gym 5 days a week and was in super good shape, but gyms are painfully boring. Yoga is fantasic, but last time I did it I pulled my back, so i'm a bit scared of it at the moment. This is aside from the fact that i think I need to be in a bit better shape to even start it. That stuff's hard!
I've been doing pretty well at the healthy food though and it's not just for me. My mom was diagnosed with lymphoma just last month and has already had two chemo treatments. It's all gone that fast. She just had to shave her head a couple of days ago and was very sad about doing so. (Oh, she hated it so much when I used to shave most of my head in high school.) I told her that I had thought about cutting my hair in support, but had decided on eating in support instead. Lots of whole grains, and nuts, seeds, fruits, and vegetables. She was so pleased and we've started sending info back and forth for eachother.
I will be heading back East to visit and help her and my father after we finish recording next month. I can't wait to get into the kitchen. I also can't wait to hear the words I long for: remission. I try to keep her laughing every time i can. Their strength astounds me.

I wish your mother a remission in the near future and a quick and steady recovery. And you, a peace of mind and no worry or frustrations. Im trying to live a healthier life as well. I've cut my drinking to wine here and there, trying to quit smoking, and I want to get back into yoga and back in the gym as well. I cant afford the yoga or gym thing at the moment though. Im wondering if there are any good yoga dvds?
