Pre-vacation catch-up!

Time sure flies when your computer won't boot up!

So I am typing on whatever computer is available and not strictly suited for work.

I haven't done many full practices since the computer mess, although yesterday I let myself modify whatever was necessary (balance poses, primarily) and did up to Pasasana and then 10 backbends (more backbends when more stressed, makes backbends easier) yesterday, and that was very good stuff. True, the first two made me feel like I was going to toss my cookies, but the ninth and tenth saw me lifting one hand from the floor to the thigh. Exploring that "stand up" mystery...

Three different jobs have asked me for "more documents," which means they have at least some interest in pursuing me as a candidate. Score! More of this, I hope, will come as the big conference at the end of December approaches.

Tomorrow morning I am off to the East, and back on Saturday. There's a led Primary in town on Wednesday night; I'll have a report if I hit it. There's also an Anusara-flavored vinyasa studio.

Finally, I led a Primary last night, and got to actually roll two people to-and-fro in Garbha Pindasana....fun fun fun, but boy HOWDY, hard on the lower back...no wonder they say that teaching ashtanga will mess up your practice...

anyway, today I'm off to my FINAL day of the two-week free sampler at the gym, and it's way too expensive to keep. I'll probably try a YMCA membership (cheaper, and all over the city) for my new "rental space."
