Coronavirus Coexistence DAY 85 Friday, June 5, 2020

Guys, the week is ending, Phase 2 is ending, the world is ending. Anyway, I’m doing my thing as always, thinking about why there are different types of people, what each type gives us, which types to stay with, which ones to stay away from, which ones to make disappear, and which ones I fall in love with more every day… those things.

Today you are going to be super, super proud of me, you will see why. I was going to make a video of my experience cooking lentils for the first time… but I was already running late, my face was a little messed up and I didn’t want to scare you. The responsibility of having to cook and have it turn out well was too much to make a f****g video that you wouldn’t even watch or you would start telling me that I should have done this or that, or that you have a better recipe, and all that stuff. So on Google I put “Easy lentil recipe” and voilà, I found one that I thought… “I can handle this and more…” And well, I have to say that for the first time it wasn’t bad. As always, I was missing some ingredients and had to improvise; Instead of chorizo, I added a piece of chicken that I had left from yesterday… that’s it! Shut up, you’re in my head.

Well, as I told you yesterday, I always have things happen to me that make you say… Huh? What the hell? Well, I have to say that the day this pandemic started, all motivated, I said to myself, “Nuria, this is your moment, take advantage, exercise, especially practice yoga, which you love and you stopped doing it a long time ago.” I had given my yoga mat to my son, and I thought, “Ok, no problem I’ll buy a new one, so I can do yoga classes at home.” I ordered the mat in mid-March and it arrived TODAY… from China (if I tell you in 15 days that I have the virus, you already know what happened). Super pretty, purple my favorite color, and with instructions in Chinese… If someone can translate them for me, great… Maybe it says something like “You’re a loser, you now have the f***ing virus and not even yoga is going to help you”, I don’t know, I imagine it says something like that…

And what a coincidence (nothing is a coincidence) that today the interview was with my yoga teacher Karina, the universe is trying to tell me something… And I thought… Well great, since the interview today is at 5:30 p.m. at 7:00 p.m. I can go to yoga on the beach with her…. Everything was fine until a an ex-coworker called me and said “Hey at 8 pm I’ll be there so we can see each other and have a couple of beers” I of course couldn’t say NO…

Daily reflection: Nothing better than putting on some braids, forgetting about the week and chatting with an old friend, beers and full moon included… When you forget what you should do and discover what you want to do, your world becomes pure magic…
