Day thirteen: Gah! I'm behind!

Totally not my fault! I spent Saturday afternoon in the Emergency Department at the Rockyview to be told that the cat scratch (little rotter!) I suffered on Friday night turned into an infection of the lymph vessels. Quite serious if you don't catch it, but luckily I am an obsessive moisturizer and that's how I noticed the red blotches on my legs that alerted me to what I'm calling my near death experience. There was even talk of a week of IV antibiotics...but I managed to get away with horse pills instead:) I did have to get a tetanus shot too - which I swear is still stinging two days later. Owie! Anyway, a little bit of drama and it's encouraging to know that it actually took doctor's orders to make me miss two yoga classes.

I feel fine and was back in class tonight. Awesome class and I think the two days off actually allowed me to gain some much needed strength because this might have been the most successful class I've had all challenge. My balance wasn't even that bad and I was super bendy. (Sounds like an eharmony profile trait.)

Oh - and you know how I can't hear jack in class? Well I decided to try and find some meditations to download on iTunes and when "The Napping" happens at the end, I will just think about my own meditations! (In my mind, this made a lot of sense at the time.) Well I found a bunch of meditations by people I didn't know and had never heard of - and then in my sleep deprived state (it was very late at night) I got all paranoid that it was a bunch of bad guys on the internet trying to brainwash me. So instead I ended up downloading an entire album of ocean and river sounds.  I put my headphones on and it sent me straight to sleep! It was remarkably soothing and very relaxing...or it would have been had I not gotten up to pee 3 times during the night!!

The bad news is that I have to make up two yoga classes now which means going twice a day - TWICE!!  Gah!! I haven't done that before and I'm sure I'll be a wreck. The goal is to take in a 630 class tomorrow and then a later evening class too.  Wish me luck.

I tried this pose tonight and mine looked exactly like this lady except that I was completely bent forward and up about 2 feet higher - but I got the hands perfect!!!

Oh - and the winner of the "Condition Off" is the Bumble and Bumble Leave in Conditioner! Light weight, but nourishing and smells really nice. It's all about the smell:) I thought it might be too heavy but it's working really well...and I don't have to use any other pre-hair drying prod. I am now Master of the 2 minute shower!!

Goodnight All.
