evening off
I needed some me time badly, so I took tonight for myself. I finally got my car into the shop for an estimate, it goes in early next week for 3 days, most likely, so I should have it back by Friday.
I feel like someone beat the living daylights out of me at the moment. Oh wait, they did. Not really, but last night’s class was tough. Since I haven’t attended class in a month and half until Monday this week, the warm up was wearing, especially since I went to yoga class at lunch. We did a lot of extra rolls and falls for warm up, thinking we’d be doing a lot of throwing, which fortunately we didn’t, I don’t think I would have made it through class. instead we wound up working gun defense, which still had its share of ground work, and some grappling, which just wore me out.
I can’t wait for this weekend to get here, I’m tired and I want some time off from work. Part of it has been my diet - I’ve eaten horribly the last couple days because I didn’t get any of my food prep done last weekend. I won’t be skipping it this weekend though. I find myself wanting simpler fare at the moment though - more raw veges and less ‘prepared’ food, even the raw stuff. Salads and other raw veges with a nice tahini dip will be the order of the week, possibly the month. Tomorrow won’t be much better though, I’m meeting some work friends for lunch. If I go to work. I keep not wanting to go in the morning, but somehow I make myself do it anyway.
I’ve decided to try my hand at something new too - contact juggling. I can juggle 3 balls ok, even though I usually drop one after 30 seconds or so. Contact juggling is a little different - there’s no throwing involved. Most people know contact juggling from the movie Labyrinth, where it appears that David Bowie’s character moves an acrylic ball around in his hand. so, I bought an instructional video and a lacrosse ball to practice with until I’m ready for a better one. I haven’t seen the video yet, and I’m going to journal my experience, but I don’t know if that will make it onto my blog here or not.
