Day 10

I couldn't wake up this morning. A friend came over and had a great time catching up, but I was exhausted from the long day and from the exercises. I climbed into bed at 1am, but was up again in a few hours when our daughter had a nightmare. I passed out while soothing her. I woke a few hours later to her tapping my shoulder, "Maman起きて。ここ○○○(娘の名前)のベッドよ。Wake up Maman, you're in my bed!" We got dressed and went downstairs to the kitchen where Arnaud had prepared both of our breakfasts before leaving for his 7:30 meeting. That's dedication. (Thanks, Arnaud!)


I am off to see my grandfather this evening- he is ill and it may be one of the last times I can see him while his spirits are relatively high. He is my hero, so it will be a difficult trip. Will be a challenge to keep everything afloat- emotions, family, reverting to old family dynamics with the parents, doing the things I want to do for myself, keeping all of that in balance.
All I know is that the exercise will keep my mind bright, yoga the spirit high, and the food my body light. 
While there will definitely be a lot of things going on this weekend, I know what my priorities are- I'll have to not beat myself up for anything I can't do over the course of the visit.
But I do need to remember to take care of myself.


See you on the other side of the weekend.
Have a great end of the week!
