Since You Last Saw Me (The Good and The Bad)

Since the last time I posted (June 8 – my wedding day, yes I blogged on my wedding day yet can’t seem to find the time on basically any other day ever), my life has changed pretty dramatically. It ranges from the good (I’m married!) to the bad (I spent two hours crying at the doctor’s office with excruciating rib pain yesterday!).

Here’s a quick list of what’s been going on in my life, both the good and the bad.

 

The Good

I got married

Dori and friends - wedding photobooth

I went on my honeymoon in Bermuda

I went on a glass bottom boat

I had my first couples massage

I found Rainbow flip flops for $15

I got Dori color*

I did yoga on a point overlooking the pink sand beach at sunset (honeymoon photos TK when I stop being lazy)

This was my view from my room in Bermuda

I moved to an amazing duplex***

Larry somehow got even sweeter and cuter

LQ cute bed

I don’t have to wait until my rib heals (see The Bad below) to “jog,” as long as I am not in terrible pain

I made use of my apartment building’s pool

Dori's apartment building pool

I ate the best brunch of my life – by far

I got bangs

I’ve been nonstop listening to and changing the lyrics of every song from the wedding CD we made for our guests to be about our dog

I got a new last name and email address.

The Bad

It was too windy both days we tried parasailing in Bermuda

Twitter denied my request to claim inactive username @dorigray**

The wedding credit card bills won’t pay themselves

I am suffering an excruciatingly painful rib injury caused by the violent cough I had the days leading up to my wedding

I haven’t taken Refine since June 17 (my only class since June 7)

I haven’t gotten to take any Refine outdoor classes that I was missing like crazy from last year and so looking forward to

I haven’t run since June 28 (my first run in months), even though I paid a coach for the month and I am supposed to be marathon training

I have to wait until my rib heals before I can take Refine again

By the way, I still have that neck injury

I am terrified about losing my muscles and strength that I worked so hard for at Refine

Edited to add: Without exercise as stress relief, I’ve become a bit of a schicker

The $15 Rainbow flip flops caused a blister

**does anyone have a contact at Twitter?

***technically I move the day after the post is published, but I didn’t want to interrupt the flow

 

What’s good and bad with you?
