This morning my eyes opened at 5:30. Not sure why but I immediately recognized that I was awake and should probably get up and do something with regard to practice. I started thinking, as I lay in bed, that I used to do this routine of eating some yogurt before practice and I realized the heaviness and lack of stamina feel like having no energy... so I got up and I made a cup of coffee and I ate 5 tablespoons of yogurt with some raw nuts mixed in.

I left for practice and was on the mat by 6:30... and I loved my practice. I had a nice strong and normaly steady meditative practice.... My teacher gave me a nice adjustment in Kapotasana... I held my toes in Supta V (which is usually a no brainer for me but my knee has been bothering me lately)... I didn't land Bakasana B in class... I did give it a try but I never did land it... I think I was really nervous that maybe I could... and be seen.

Luck was on my side today -> got out of practice at 8:30, no traffic (very very unusual) and was able to make it home by 9. I leave tomorrow for the drive to Seattle so I had plenty to do plus getting my "life" together -> dr. for thyroid, hair cut and a meeting I did as a favor.

I've been eating a high protein, low carb diet and I've found that I get really tired in the afternoons and every night around 8pm. Tonight I actually laid my head down on my desk and took a cat nap!

I now have the car packed to the top... I have no idea what I've packed and what I haven't. I know my mat is somewhere in the back and I am hopeful perhaps I can practice once or twice on the way up... Friday morning in SF I hope and maybe Portland Sunday. Our plan right now is here to SF tomorrow. Friday morning checking out Golden Gate Bridge and Fisherman's Wharf with the kids... Friday afternoon up to Crescent City/Eureka area... then into Oregon for Saturday and finishing up to Seattle Sunday.

I don't know what I'm gonna do about practice in Seattle... I guess a lot of home practices. :)
