Wandering Mind

I’m ready for my day off tomorrow. Practice this morning was physically just not quite working. Energy was low and vinyasas just weren’t happening. I’ve worked my shoulders a lot this week and I think they’re pretty tired. I couldn’t motivate myself to practice yesterday so I went to a led class last night, which was a nice, low-level class that allowed me to focus a little more deeply on my alignment. One weird thing the Chiropractor did (the teacher of this particular class is a Chiropractor) was had us do Surya A and B with our eyes closed… It was interesting because you get a different understanding of your movement but not something I would ever normally chose to do. And by the end of it my eyes were getting a bit frustrated… Class didn’t get out until about 8:00pm and it’s almost too fast of a turn around to be back in the studio at 6:30am. I normally would avoid a class that late but I just needed to do something and I couldn’t motivate to practice earlier in the day.

Work is interesting. The students are back and classes start today. It’s definitely a different energy in town and on campus and there’s a lot more of it. Today is my last obligation free day for the rest of the semester (short of holidays and weekends) and I have a lot to get done today. Yesterday we had a small convocation with the new students of the Fine Arts dept. and my boss comes to me 45 minutes before it starts and says “by the way, we need some lights, a music stand, a microphone and the main curtain in.” Not a horrible request except I don’t do lights or sound so I’m trying to get everything figured out before everyone comes in. I made it, barely. Blonde Lady is coming up this weekend and we’re going to get her on rock for the first time and hopefully up about 75 to 100 feet. Should be fun!
