The End of Summer
I truly cannot believe that the end of summer is already here... of course, living in California, that's only a metaphor for the fact that school is starting and the beaches will have only slightly less people on them during the weekday school hours. Our weekend was spent with family...first one family gathering, then the other. My weekend sorta sucked because we saw my family first and I'm beginning to get the idea that my niece is manipulating my feelings by exaggerating or, maybe even lying, about her homelife situation. This was demonstrated by a dramatic shift in attitude the minute we walked in the door for our family gathering... and some verbal things that she said to me which were different than what she'd indicated to my mother. It sucks to feel like that and I'm at a point now where I believe that we cannot continue to have a triangle of a relationship -- that we all need to get in front of a professional and have someone else mitigate the triangle.
I got a new neighbor over the weekend as well... she asked me immediately about yoga and, to my surprise, she's into ashtanga and jumped up and down when I said that I sometimes visit Tim Miller's studio. She wants to go with me this week and then try the other studios I visit. I haven't practiced in nearly 3 weeks now...it should be a painful week!
