Hello, Sunshine!

Summertime hath arrived a bit early, me thinks.

Yoda would not be proud of that syntax. “Arrived early, Summer has” might be appropriate.

Happy Memorial Day. I hope you have a relaxing, joyful holiday weekend. 

Yes, I’m feeling better. I’m doing small things with my newly bionic arm without realizing it. Last Wednesday, I was driving home from the Austin studio and realized I was using my right hand to control the steering wheel. I noted it, put the left hand on, and took the right off. Little things like that. Progress.

My wardrobe is slowly expanding as the arm is able to do a few more things. I love my pull on work shorts, but after 4 weeks of ONLY them… I’m ready for some of the other fun ones. Ditto with tops.

Big studio shift starting next week thru August 1.

My Middle School run programs begin Tues & Fri at 630a, with a 2nd session at 8a for the new runners/rising 4th & 5th graders.

I’ve not coached this early since early COVID days, and this isn’t even #crackofridiculous yet! Yes, it requires a whole schedule shift. I’ve been getting my bedtime routine figured out so I can get to bed early, a solid night’s’ sleep AND wake up early. I’ve been naturally waking about 430a on a few occasions, so I’m getting there.

Pilates & More, in person in Taylor, shifts to Wednesdays for summer because of the run program.

Taylor Track (Tues 630p) will shift to Wed 530a (that IS #crackofridiculous) when my athletes say evenings are just too hot.

Updated Studio hours, thru August 1:

  • Monday: office day, coaching plans for week completed
  • Tuesday: MS coaching 630-9a, then alternating Taylor (1045a-230p) & Austin (10a-230p); 630p Taylor Track coaching
  • Wednesday: class from 830-930a, then in Austin 12-515p*
  • Thursdays: Taylor 11a – 515p
  • FriYAY: MS coaching 630a-9a, then Taylor 11a-230p
  • *at some point when its too hot in the evening, Taylor Track will flip to 530a Wed.

Traditional 2-handed massage will begin to be worked back in as of June 5. I’ve taken this service off my scheduler at the moment as I’ll need to slowly work my shoulder capabilities. If you’re already scheduled, you’re good. It may be a combo of 1 & 2 handed work, as the shoulder tolerates. I am guessing July I’ll re-open traditional massage for new bookings.

June 23-27, I’m available for Zoom sessions only – currently on M & Thu. If those days fill, I’ll open up more options.

Available virtual openings:

  • Mon, June 23 – 115p, 230p
  • Thurs, June 26 – 1215p

Oh, I am working July 4th, since I’ve been out with this shoulder thing. See below for the 1 current open spot in Taylor.

This week I should be back to full Wednesday schedule. Still limited to 1 hand, but I’ve been quite successful with the work I’ve been doing.

Upcoming openings

  • Tues, June 10, 10a (30 min only), 115p
  • Tues, July 1, 145p (30 or 45 min only)
  • Tues, July 8, 10a (30 min only) & 115p
  • Wed, July 9, 2p; 445p (30 min only)
  • Please ask to be put on the wait list if you don’t find a slot that works for you, or need something before the next available.

If you can make it out to Taylor, you’re likely to get in earlier than in Austin. I know sometimes that’s not feasible, so please get on the Austin waitlist.

Upcoming openings

  • Thurs, May 29, 415p
  • Thurs, June 19, 1215 & 415p
  • Fri, June 20, 130p (30 or 45 min only)
  • Thurs, July 3, 3 & 415p
  • Fri, July 4, 12n

Class packages

I appreciate you reading down this far. I’m getting back on track. I’ve restarted my audiobook when traffic is light (Blueberry Reads). I’m still not cooking or playing with my food much (Amber Eats)… in other words, the other fun sections will return slowly.
