I did a double header in yoga this afternoon since I had to miss last Thursday. I was sick and mopey and thought inverting my head a bad idea. Anyway, the first class was a Gentle Flow class that was actually the first class I had ever started going to. I love the teacher. She's such a lovely woman who always seems genuinely delighted to see me and gives me hugs. I come from a family of non-huggers. I only hug my mom when I'm going on a trip and I don't know that I've ever hugged my sister. It'd be weird to start now.
Anyway, double-header. I remember when I used to think the Gentle Flow class was challenging, back when I couldn't touch my toes and had to use blocks during the standing forward fold to bring the floor up to my level. During today's class, all I could think of was how it was too easy--no challenge at all. And then during my second class, which is Yin, I thought the same thing, too, though that's because I think she's been taking it easy the last two times I've gone--not a single pigeon pose to be had (haaaaate pigeon). I'm off work for a week and a half beginning Friday and had decided a while ago that I would try a bunch of new classes. I think I'm ready for a more intense flow class, which just the thought of used to scare me. I love yoga, have I mentioned? I mean, lately. :D
What else I love is Fandom! All The Hobbit squee is filling me with joy and I'm happily spoiling myself all over the place reading everyone's impressions. For me, The Hobbit isn't actually something that I can truly be spoiled for as I've read the book sooo many times. (And am completely boggled by the oft repeated statement of "I couldn't get through it". I think it's the most accessible of all his books. I read it for the first time when I was a kid. My sister had an illustrated copy from the animated movie from the 70s. I know she saw it in the theatres but I think I was either too young or banned (I would invariably fall asleep during movies. The first one I actually remember seeing all the way through was Xanadu). Anyway, I don't think I'll see it in the theatre until I'm on break, so after Christmas. I think I'll likely adore it no matter what. I had a bit of When Fandoms Collide this weekend, too, when the lovely Patrick Adams tweeted about getting his Middle Earth fix. Fanboy! Likely not in the same way as me but you know. Whatevs.
Speaking of fandom, I have not written a single word this weekend, despite giving myself a perfectly good set of deadlines to act as motivation. Totally didn't motivate me. I want to write! I keep thinking I want to write, and then I don't. I keep trying to bribe myself, too, but that's not working either.
Work tomorrow. I'm going to try to be really positive about it this week. Easier now that the likelihood of actually having to interact with my boss has diminished as I'm pretty sure he's out of the office this week. I have a plan with treats for good behavior (yoga on Tuesday night, lunch out with friends on Wednesday, a new song every morning (any recs?)). Anything to get through--oh wait, being positive. It'll be great this week.
