Work Is Where The Heart's At
... and I don't mean work as in my professional work... the work that happens on the mat when it isn't that blissful "Whooohooo look I'm doing yoga" feeling...
Today I worked. My muscles feel like stones with their insides torn out. I felt like I gained 30 pounds instead of 15 I'm willing to bet I did gain. I had a realization about first series and second series today. It's one of those personal ones but it was there nonetheless. I did through Laghu Vajrasana again. I have promised myself I won't go near Kapotasana until I can stand up on my own again....
Today on my last assisted dropback, when Tim went to stand me up... he put his hand on my sternum for the Magic TM Standup adjustment... I had a panic attack. I said "NO no no!" while shaking my head. Tiff laughed for me and shut down and let someone else do all the work. I just didn't quite think I was ready to do it and I suppose I trust the lesson in there is that I'm not ready to do it mentally. When I came up: "Oh ye of little faith." In myself.
I spent the rest of the day writing code against the latest offerings from The Software Giant... where the API entries were: "assemblyName: TODO" -- it's always a good thing when you are trying to GUESS what the heck your arguments are supposed to be. :) I love brand new code. It smells like a new car.
The Son and I talked about the NXT block today (the new Mindstorms). I suggested we ask Santa for one together.. he thought maybe I need my own brick. I told him I just wanted to make the thing go and I didn't care what it looked like so he agreed to share ;) We decided we should also ask Santa for the Bluetooth dangle and the compass sensor!!! Santa isn't quite sure how to play this gift idea but we'll figure it out.
Tomorrow I am hoping to practice in the morning but will have to bring The Kids with me. I know they'll just sit in the other room and watch a movie or play Gameboy... but its still distracting for me. Maybe I just won't care tomorrow :)
