Road To Mysore

Last Thurday, I had the best practice at home...I was in the zone. It felt good and easy. My mind didn't wander much.

Yesterday was a totally different story. I woke up tired and forced myself to the mat. I did a few warm up stretches. Started and ended my practice with one Surya A. Ditched practice and headed back to bed. I've missed too many practices already, I stop beating myself up. This is without question my worst practice week since coming back. For some reason, I'm not worried about it. Why...I dunno!!!

I got a couple of emails from my shala mates suggesting that I come back and practice with them at 5AM before the shala energy gets weird. Haven't been sleeping well lately so getting up at 4AM to practice at 5AM is a little difficult for now. I'm considering it though. I decided to do one more week of home alone practices before I consider anything else. The whole balance between a daily practice and having enough energy to go work is still a mystery to me. My practice now a days is nothing close to when I first arrived from Mysore. It's been scaled back drastically just so I can accomodated the overrated experience called, "work"...oh well, you got to do what you got do.

Today is a full day...oil change, checking out the sale at REI, a little more shopping, 5 massages (need to pay for the shopping) and maybe do laundry if I can squeeze it in. I'm at the Honda service station now waiting for my car. It should be ready in 30 minutes. In the meantime, I'm hooked up in their wireless network...how sweet is that, blogging while waiting for my car being serviced. It's a new facility too, so everything smells new...really sweet. I've never been know to be a computer techy (in fact I've been dissed by a fellow blogger for being so computer challenged/incompetent...ha ha ha) so learning how to use my IBook has been an experience/journey all in itself. It's still amazes me how technology is constantly changing our lives. I can no longer imagine living without internet. My favorite hangout place now a days has been the Apple Store. I love the fact that they constantly have free classes. OMG...have I become a geek? Naaaaa, I'll never be mistaken as a geek...not that smart.

Today's shopping list looks like this:

REI raincoat....$125
Zoom lens...$160
More sweat pants (favorite outfit, does that meantime I'm already going downhill...oh well)...$35
Travel bag (needs a little more meditating)...$199
Knowing I'm going home soon...priceless:)

My name has just been called. My car should be done...sweet. Next stop...REI. Life ain't all that bad...
