Reality | Joy | Sore

The reality is that I have no business being conscious right now... 12:48am. It happens to be my favorite time but STILL. Its too dang late and now my stomach is growling because it thinks its time for another meal.

Why shouldn't I be awake? Well, I'm getting sick again. (note to self: research why I get a cold every month in spite of clean eating.) I tossed and turned all night last night so I'm so tired that I'm borderline weapy and no one wants to see that. Also, I don't drink coffee any more so I know tomorrow will hurt. Tuesdays are always my hardest days but it will be amplified tomorrow.

Another reason? I took my first class at Crossfit tonight and it kicked my booty. I may not be able to walk tomorrow (not the cute, "hehe, I can't skip down the hall" stuff... I'm talking, "how badly do I really need to use the bathroom" sort of decision making level stuff.) I do not frequently have this feeling, so it needs to be documented... I was absolutely exhausted by the intensity of that workout and yet, I am hooked! Stay tuned for semi/ somewhat regular occasional updates. Who knows? I may just get up to 6 pull ups, y'all.

Can I just say that I feel like I'm living a great life lately? Sure, I have a bajillion things to be grateful for. I always have. There's just something electric about this season. I feel empowered, focused, and confident.

I CANNOT believe I haven't shown you one thousand photos of my beloved niece yet. I mean, how is that possible? All in due time. She is more than every perfect word I can try to muster. Simply: she is my delight and makes my heart sing like a crazy person. I love her deeply and I want you to get to bask in her insane preciousness.

So, here, darlings... here she is:
She was 10 hours old and getting kissed by her mama here. Le sigh.

Now I must go sleep... or toss and turn. I have missed this space and you.

love,
Kelley
