I am obsessed with having an Obsidian Mirror they might have them in stock at Mysteries by the end of the week.

Sap Rising

Last week in Tracey's shop I met a girl called Helen. She was talking with Tracey about all things spiritual and happened to mention that she had attended a yoga class that 'nearly gave her an orgasm.' Much as I dislike exercise I decided that in this particular instance I was willing to give it a go. The class was called 'Kundalini & Gong' and is held every Tuesday night at The Alchemy Centre NW1. I rooted out my Yoga Pants that I only ever wear as Dog Walking Pants and set off to Camden. The centre is in The Stables Market. It is a very attractively designed space and it has a cafe that sells chocolate cake so as an enviroment it worked for me. Downstairs however there is a kick boxing studio so the green tea & wind chimes vibe was regularly interspersed by the screams and grunts of mortal combat below.

Is There Some Light At The End Of This Tunnel?

So after working for 9 weeks without getting paid, I should have some money this coming week and hopefully some more a few weeks after. The thing is that the university I work for have not only delayed payment for over two months but they have decided that they will spread payment of my salary over 10 months. Of course this is totally illegal but without a lawyer there is very little one can do about it. So I am not sure how much of my money I can get my hands on but I do know this. I need to

• pay 2 months rent
• pay council tax
• pay back money I owe
• replace the hall carpet (thank you Stella)
• buy a new computer
• get a ticket to Miami
• have botox (should be at the top of the list)
• buy new winter clothes and boots

It's pretty frightening as the whole stress of not having money for ages has been getting to me and now that I will finally get some money I am worried that there won't be enough money. If I had the money that they owe me I actually wouldn't be worried about money at all. Very annoying how money issues can be so pervasive

Sunday Morning

Chai tea and cheese croissant from Maison Berteaux. Soooooo GOOD, soooooo NOT a part of new health regime starting tomorrow

Room For Manoeuvre

I see that I am in one of those places where I need to take stock of what is working in my life and what is not. I am exhausted, anti social (more so) and have little in the way of opitimism. I have not been feeling well and I really need to do something about it. This week I am going to

• Make a Dr's appointment and get some blood tests done ( I should have done this when I fell but I hate him)
• Buy some Floradix (which is £15 but really works)
• Try and Meditate for a few minutes a day
• Make sure I spend at least a few hours a day doing what I want to do rather than what I have to do
• Eat really healthy, light food and drink fresh juice everyday
• I might even attend a yoga class since a woman in Tracey's shop was talking about almost having an orgasm at a kundalini yoga class

Breakfast

Soy Latte and Macaroons from Masion Du Chocolat on a bench in Berkeley Square.

Stella does not eat cakes, she has a sensitive tummy and gets sick if she eats junk food, even if it is rather exclusive.
