Monthly recap

So I can't decide whether or not to let this space go. I could say I've adopted a monthly posting schedule, but I can't promise what will happen come January. Here are the highs and the lows of the past little while...

Good news
- I think I can say I've successfully established a regular morning yoga practice. This involves getting up at 5am every day and practicing for an hour to an hour and a half. I just counted this weekend and realized I've done this on 27 of the past 32 days, which gave me a day or two off per week. I'm pretty proud of this. I've tried before and lasted a week or so, but this is starting to feel like a habit and I have definitely noticed a difference, both physically and mentally.
- I got a Canon Digital Rebel XT to play with - photos here. It's my new favourite toy. :)
- We've got 2 ski trips planned in the New Year - one to Sun Peaks and one to Big White, each for 3 days.
- Finished the first course of my Holistic Nutrition certificate program.
- Luke got a cool new job working from home which brings us a lot closer to one day being able to live somewhere like the gulf islands.

Bad News (thankfully this list is shorter)
- My shoulder hurts again.
- I had another nasty flare-up on my hands, which may or may not lead to a Lupus diagnosis. I see an allergist on Friday and am being referred to a rheumatologist in the New Year. This is good or bad, depending on how you look at it. Shitty to be diagnosed with a disease, but good if it at least provides some answers.

What's next? Lots of holiday baking and cooking, more knitting projects, more reading, lots of mandarin oranges and egg nog, some snowshoeing and maybe some cross-country skiing! I have a feeling the next couple months are going to go by very quickly.
