If you're happy and you know it clap your hands
Bonjour mes amis. Here I am, sitting in bed at Boxx's, early in the morning, just lovin' it. When I was having all that anxiety before I left, I completely forgot how adaptable I am. I've been here two days and it feels like home. (Brighton? Where? Dunno, mate)
Yesterday was very chilled (for which read I did fuck all for most of it). A day of acclimatisation. I had a bit of a swim in the pool here, but Boxx having sunburn from Mexico, despite her Californian tan, made me very aware of the risks, so I scuttled back into the shade pretty quickly.
In the evening we went to her gym and did a yoga class. Ha. I came to realise that all yoga teachers have their selection of asanas to which they return and this one used a whole new set. Not new as in WTF, I've never heard of this, but as in OMG, it's been years since my poor old bod has moved in this way. Fabulous though, and just magic to look up and see Boxx next to me. Who would have thought such a thing was possible?
Afterwards I rushed outside for a fag we had a swim:
and a spa and a steam and all that. Just lovely. I sat in the steam room with a big grin on my face.
Here we are fresh home from our endeavours:
Today while Boxx is at work, my plan is to make breakfast without setting fire to anything (the smell has almost gone from yesterday and the microwave is not actually broken, thank god), to watch Eastenders on youtube (I know, sad fucker, but it's been really really exciting, honest), then to go for a wander around the area with my camera.
Hey and do you know, I haven't had a single twitchy moment since I arrived. Not a trace of Anxiety. I mean, I did feel anxious when the flat was full of smoke but within the normal range, not the usual (for me) hysteria and need for medication, not at all. Touch wood.
Grateful for: everything really - friends, life, laughter, soft fleecy blankets, laptops, just everything.
You have a nice day, ya hear, xxx
