I’ve been a little behind this week and for that, I do not apologize. I will instead pass the blame (for absolutely no good reason) onto the fact that I injured myself on Saturday. The tale, goes like this: I was doing warm up with one of my jazz classes and at the end of our stretching, we all work on our splits. The girls get gold stars for achieving their splits and so we work each week on building their flexibility. Joining in the fun, I slid into my left splits to “oohs and ahhs” from students about how great I was at them. “I know, right?” I boasted back, when suddenly SNAP! Something in the back of my left thigh made the most chill-inducing snapping sound and feel as I carefully tried to move my legs back together in the most nonchalant way possible. I continued our stretches as normal, both as a way to pretend like nothing really happened, and out of fear that I may not be able to stand up. I was able to get up though and things seemed okay though and I did my best to remain calm for the rest of my day teaching. Once I left dance, however, I gave my friend Rob a call (okay, I called my mom and then I called Rob) because he’s a physio. He absolutely came to my rescue and gave me an emergency physiotherapy appointment. As far as we can tell, things seem relatively okay and it’s most likely my hamstring muscle fibres that snapped (TMI? Sorry about that) so I’ve been hobbling through life, icing my leg and punished to 2 whole weeks without exercise. Oh, the joys of a hamstring injury. No heels for me for a while. Tried to wear them yesterday and it was a major no-go. Sounds like it’s time for a “how to rock flats for a week” kind of post 😉

This was actually my uniform for a week. An entire week, everywhere I went, I was wearing this exact outfit. It’s just irresistibly cozy and easy to throw on. Plus I just can’t get enough of this scarf…or as I like to call it: the adult bib. Seriously, how is it that scarves manage to catch everything? I find all sorts of goodies from popcorn and crumbs, to bobby pins and chocolate in my scarf. Just a great collector of things, those scarves!
