Happy Halloween!

Well it's been one crappy week, I've been barely able to function let alone blog.

I don't know why, really - probably some kind of combination of terrible case of PMS and lot of other things piling up, but I was almost in tears most of last week. Since Sunday I've been slowly building up back to the normal life and I feel pretty good today... We celebrated Dragon's birthday on Saturday with our dear friends with a Halloween theme and everyone had made a great effort with their costumes.

Yesterday was Dragon's real birthday, and today was the real Halloween. I used my black cat costume in both occasions which was fun - any excuse to dress up, really. I also tested out my new freaky contact lenses - they are cat's eyes, but I can also be using them with my Orochimaru cosplay for Sakura-con in April. It was fun walking home tonight from yoga, the neighborhood is buzzing with kids dressed up trick or treating, and there are firecrackers and spooky sounds everywhere.

I have a feeling though what has been causing this mental upheaval I've been having... but I'm deliberately avoiding the subject since it's still kind of raw. I've started studying Patanjali's yoga sutras with Padma, and it works almost like (psycho)therapy - it has started stirring up some mud in my mind and I've had to rethink a lot of my thought patterns: it's painful at first, but will be beneficial in the long run. I've also deliberately not written much about those sutra classes because I feel them in so incredibly personal level. I want to share some of it with you though, but at some later date.

For now though, I think I'm back.

Birthday hugs for Dragon!!! And a woof-woof to you in that cat costume, Mrs Hotness. The eyes are freaky, yes indeed, they work really well.
