Still feeling rather out of whack from my appointment on the 31. But I'm in the city for the first leg of my holiday, and today that included challenging myself to get a pedicure (did it! I was nervous and mostly uncomfortable, but I didn't panic and could manage it again!) and also met a challenge of going downstairs at the hotel to use the steam room on my own. Then I even went and swam a few laps (I haven't done front crawl in like a decade or so!).

Keep it mind, yesterday I spent $100 on stuff for school ... at the dollar store... (I left the supplies in my friend's truck while they head out on their own vacation) and today I spent $200 on me. It includes a pair of yoga pants, 3 shirts, some stuff from LUSH, ONE book (that was a proud moment) and two journals (one for myself for the T's challenges, and one for my friend for her bday as I'm making her do this stuff too haha). Also purchased some movies so it's actually more than $200 now. And this cut little "buddha board" that's like a tiny paint easel but it's just water and it dries so you can do it over and over again. I think I'm going to find them and purchase two more - one for my students and one for the councellor at my school because I think she'll really like it.

Oh yes. And I chatted with two employees in the book store - 1 of them about the new Doctor Who being announced tomorrow (I'm wearing a tardis t-shirt so he started the convo with me) and then another employee, also due to the shirt, initiated one about geeky t-shirts. Also had a good chat with the lady at lush, and some short chit-chat with some other people at the nail salon. All conversations NOT initiated by me, but still nice little convos anyway!

Am now planing out a potential spa trip with my friend as a challenge to ourselves.
