To follow Kathy's lead:

In completely informational, boring news:: Crazy morning. Not only did I have to get myself ready for yoga, to take a shower at Tiff's house after practice, for a meeting right after that but I had to get The Dog all packed up for his adventure with Tiff.... I'm actually surprised I made it out the door on time.

In completely self-indulgent practice related news: Today's practice was much much better. I don't know if it is a combination of having eaten some food with the Motrin this morning, the couple hour later start time (though that didn't help on Sunday) or that I took the Motrin 1.5 hours before practice instead of just 45 minutes ('cause I just don't get up that early for 7am classes). I felt strong and happy today for practice... I did Kapotasana on my own the first time... got to mid-foot on my own... did Kapotasana again... only got my feet this time... with an adjustment I actually felt my heels, the whole heels... not on top of the heels but I was definitely fingers on heels. I was so excited when I came up that I said, to my teacher looking at me with one of his unexplainable smiles, "I felt my heels!" as if that didn't happen to people everyday.... I followed up with "really exciting for me!" Dropbacks were fun again... hang out... drop down..come up... no drama and excitement to try it again. I even managed to come up straight legged into a headstand again... but couldn't manage to time it so my teacher would see my progress ;) I could just put a sign on my back that says "Look at me!" (kidding..really).

In equally boring but blog worthy news: I am dealing with a doomed project at work. Hate those. On the other hand, there are some really exciting things underway that really drive towards all the things I've ever wanted in my career. I don't know whether I actually get to do it/them or not but it is exciting to think about. I was nominated for a particular position (not with regard to my actual day to day job) that will be pretty cool. If it pulls through I'm not even sure I can announce it on my public blog since it will be completely NDA (Non-Disclosure Agreement) but it will be cool for me anyway. The wierd thing is that when I do 9am Mysore, I usually bring my phone because I technically should be working so I check once during practice to see if anything is hitting the proverbial fan. So today when I did my check I got a strange email, that I read.... and this email informed me that I would be nominated for this particular position (for lack of a better word). I was really sorta moved by it. It is quite an honor (in my small brain)... So the wierd thing is that I didn't really process it until about Savasana... and then I felt like I might break down. I am pretty sure if I didn't feel pressured to get out of the room, to Tiff's to shower and make sure my dog wasn't freaking I might have had a cry fest... unfortunately for me, I had minutes for Savasana today....
