I reheated a few in the oven, and while they were heating I made a sriracha garlic tahini sauce and warmed a pita.
Since it's Caturday, I have some funny cat pictures! Roxy likes to drink from the toilet, which is kind of a new quirk.

I hope everyone has an amazing Saturday. I'm feeling a little blue today, I did yoga this morning and I cried through almost all of it! It's super hard to breathe in and out through your nose when your sobbing! I notice that sometimes yoga forces the feelings out of me. I plan on taking a mental health day. I'm going to sit in the sun and read my book for a little while, and just try to clear my head, and feel whatever it is I need to feel so that I can hopefully feel better tomorrow. I'm also cooking some black beans to make a salsa with corn, black beans, red onion and jalapeno. Cooking in my kitchen with counter space and a window seems to cheer me up. Something I'm starting to finally learn and accept is that there is really no running from what you are feeling. Of course there are distractions but it's always there, and if you don't deal with it, it manifests itself in other unhealthy ways. It's so freaking hard to accept though, I always want to run, run, run. Sitting with yourself and your feelings isn't always easy. But here's to a happier tomorrow.
Happy Caturday!
While my heart breaks for you reading this, I'm kind of glad you had that release through yoga. Think about it - you had to hold in those crappy feelings during your very dark period with no release. Eventually it all comes out. I read a Rolling Stone interview with Keith Urban (I don't listen to his music but I read interviews about all musicians) and he said that he cries every so often. What man admits that? He said he welcomes it and feels so much clearer afterwards. Makes you think....
ReplyDeleteWow, that almost makes me want to listen to his music. You're right, very few people, let alone men admit to crying!
DeleteOh, Roxy, what a goof! :D Great idea about taking a mental health day today; I hope it helps!
ReplyDeleteShe is a goof! This is definitely a new habit! My mental health day did help a little.
DeleteDim Sim would sometimes drink out of the toilet, and also sometimes pee in it, but she hasn't one either for a long time. Now she demands that I refresh her water bowl every time she wants a drink, even if it has just been refilled!
ReplyDeleteYoga definitely brings out my emotions. I do bikram, in the hot sweaty room, and there have been classes when I have just quietly sobbed through a lot of it. It certainly does bring it out!
Enjoy your mental health day, they are very important. <3
Roxy sometimes will pee in the bathroom sink, I'll have to keep an eye and see if she pees in the toilet. That would be too funny!
DeleteI know it sucks to cry and is so exhausting emotionally and physically but sometimes you just need to get it out. Imagine keeping all of that inside... so awful. I'm glad you were able to get it out and I hope that you start to feel better soon. At least you have an adorable crew to cuddle with and catch doing cute things :)
ReplyDeleteIt does suck to cry, but you're right, to hold it in is worse. Holding in stuff is what gives people heart attacks!
DeleteMy kitties always manage to cheer me up a little. It's been such a relief having them back.
