I think I have everthing under control now. My apartment is practically empty and I already have most of what I need to bring with me to Mysore. I have some last minute things I need to get for the Philippines. I promised a friend that I would get her chocolate chip cookies from Whole Foods. That's what she requested. I have to get that on Sunday so it gets to the Philippines still fresh. My sister wants some bagels which I will also get on Sunday. If I made a list of things I have to bring, I'm sure most of you will laugh. But if it makes my sister and friend happy, then I have no problem doing it.
This mornings practice was much better. My mind was a little bit more under control. The mineral hot springs yesterday really helped my sore muscles and I went through my practice quite smoothly. My flexiblity is still the same but my stamina is so much better. Although I have the luxury of taking a nap after practice, I rarely do. Psychologically, taking naps ruins my sleep at night. I must be getting in better shape too because I'm getting a little over 6 hours sleep everyday and I don't feel tired. I think the length of my sleep is shorter but the quality is much better.
