And it finally rained, howling wind and all included in the package, the best part was that, it was overnight which made our sleeping time even more enjoyable.
Ernesto is still out there and perhaps turning into an actual hurricane today, so although I am thankful that we got the best out of it, there are still people being affected by it, so let's keep them in our prayers, because today is them but it could totally be us tomorrow, thanks!
The rain was so nice that this morning my hubby slept in a bit longer than me, so I got to feed the cats myself, well what a nice surprise of them to leave me a dead mouse by the driver's door of my car, yay for kitty cats and their gifts of love!
I feel very loved and special to say the least... specially when I had to find something to grab the mouse with and get rid of it...
In unrelated news, I think I am finally seeing some improvement on my back.
The chiropractor has officially discharged me until next month, last week I had two massages done and my gym [and soon to be yoga] instructor gave me some fabulous stretches for hip openers in order to release the pressure on my lower back.
I have to say after the first set of stretches I could already feel the difference!
This is the pose (which is also great with people with sciatica pain).
This pose is probably the best hip opener in yoga. It opens the deep muscles of the hip and the hip flexors.
Start in Downward Dog. Lift your right leg up and sweep it through to your mat, folding it and placing it on the mat. Keep your right foot flexed to protect the knee. Your left leg is straight behind you with the toes pointed. Keep your hips square and level, with the left hipbone pressing toward your right foot. Inhale and press your hands into the mat, getting as much length in the spine as possible.
I am totally stoked and cannot wait to be able to start yoga class again.
Have a wonderful Tuesday!!!

I'm glad you got some rain and are starting to see some improvements to your back! I hope the stretches keep helping you!
three cheers for the rain. and three cheers for your back getting much better!! There is no way I could get my knees into that position. I just laughed when I looked at it...getting old means no bending the knees so far back!! lol ...debbie
thank goodness Cody only brings me mice that are TOYS!!
So glad your back is doing better!
I posted we didn't get much rain. Guess I should be thankful for what we got.
I'm glad that you were kept safe from the storm, and that your back is feeling better; feeling healthy is such a blessing!
