Sunday: We got up early, packed the car and started the drive to L.A. We had to stop in Orange County to download 16g of data from my friend, C (he bailed my ass out)... we pulled into Downtown L.A. sometime around 4pm, checked into the hotel, got back in the car and drove over to BIL's house for dinner. Nice, but a long day. My plan was to get up in the morning for yoga... only the room we have has two double beds.. 4 adults, 2 kids... 2 double beds. I chose the 5 year old... this was a huge mistake.

Sunday Night: Awake nearly all night from 5 year old kicking me in various body parts.

Monday: Awake in the pre dawn hours, thinking how crappy it was that I didn't get sleep... turned off the alarm on the Treo somewhere around 4am and figured, with a lighter schedule Monday, I could practice later in the day. Meeting 1 started at 10am.... I spent the rest of the day in meetings, more meetings than I was aware of... I got back to the hotel around 4pm. The Husband told me to go pratcice, it was hot and humid out so I went onto the 4th floor rooftop. I tried to find the cleanest spot I could but every Chatarunga my nose was dangerously close to spots of bird poop. Practice was going along nice, until I decided to throw in Hanumanasana... as I got into Somakonasana, I felt this gnarly and scary pull in the connection between my left hamstring and glute. It wasn't necessarily a seering pain but pain... and I got scared... I literally had to sit down for awhile. The pain subsided but the scariness was still there...... I did a few more poses and thought I should give up, I had lost my drive and, moreover, I was worried about the experience I had just had.

Monday Night: We got a rollaway bed. We forced the children to share (but the 8 year old ended up with The Husband). I got more sleep, not a full night's sleep but more. I already knew I couldn't go to Ashtanga Yoga LA because of my meeting schedule but I did set the Treo.... I turned it off at 5:30 and slept til 7.

Tuesday: Long drawn out meetings at Microsoft offices involved server topologies, security, ports, ISA servers, firewall sandwiches and the like (read very boring). I came back to the room around 4:30 when it was decided tomorrow was going to be the long night... laid the mat out in a less bird poop populated spot, did 3 Sun Salutations and thought "You know, right now, I don't care to do yoga... in fact, I don't care the next time I do yoga at all." Rolled up the mat and left.
