Achy Breaky Ass

It's been a few days since I've done any yoga. Since I'm not working, the need to take any kind of freelance gig that comes my way takes precedence over any self-improvement/hobbies I'm dabbling in. Plus, this particular gig I wanted to do because I like the people there, it's fun and could possibly lead to future gigs. 

During my brief stint on the copy desk, Bikram was missed. I could feel the "goodness" leaving my body at a rapid pace. The familiar, old aches and pains are slowly creeping back -- especially in my right shoulder, which is "paining" quite a bit. It's irritating me and causing great discomfort. My only remedy (well, not my only--Western med is always an option but I want to try something different) is to get back to Bikram ASAP. So, tomorrow morning at exactly 7:30, I'll be standing on my mat and towel, butt & thighs squeezed tight with all 10 fingers intertwined under my chin, getting ready to BREATHE. Knowing my physical and mental self, relief with be instantaneous .... 

I can't wait.

    The owner, Jessica, is a good egg. I like her a lot and the teachers are completely cool, knowledgeable and helpful.
