It feels like it’s been a stressful past few weeks. I always know it when it has been (other than feeling frazzled) because my body starts to tell me with niggling little symptoms.
Who’d have thought being surrounded by dog poo would be quite so stressful. But it wasn’t just that in Buenos Aires – we didn’t sleep well at all (uncomfortable bed), we didn’t eat that well (despite the fantastic beef we found it hard to get other organic meat & when we tried ordering organic veg on the internet, it never turned up!), we didn’t do too much exercise (the dog poo & mossies put us off jogging or exercising outside & we didn’t have a gym) and generally, we just didn’t feel ‘happy’ there.
Which meant we argued a lot, we focused on the things that weren’t right which is really unlike me, and we felt out of sorts with just about everything, including work.
But now we’re in Toronto…it’s Miller time…as Rich Schefren puts it. It’s time to put some fun back into things and get out and about (despite it being bloomin’ freezing for us and only having one sweater each).
We’ve started well already – we’ve eaten all-organic food since we arrived on Thursday, we’ve slept brilliantly the past 2 nights, we’ve been out & about exploring the city on foot, we’ve been to the gym every day and we feel much, much better already. Not on the brink of divorce any more (just kidding, it didn’t quite get that bad!).
The next phase is to do a bit of exploring, starting with Niagara Falls sometime this coming week.
ps. If there’s anyone from Toronto who reads the blog, give me a shout, love to meet up!
