Tartan Yogi

I am suffering this week because of having to sit in a chair all day like some sort of prisoner. It is like I can feel my spine steadily compressing so I am contorting myself to try and make it feel better when what I really need is to not be at work and to be doing yoga all day.

Argh.

In other news I have been getting Christmas presents like a demon. It seems like everyone is getting either a pashmina or a robot this year! Am getting into the spirit of things now seeing as it will actually be December as of tomorrow and I get paid (hoorah) and I have taken Friday afternoon off so I can wander round the shops without being jostled by grumpy people trying to do their shopping in a rush.

I know Christmas really shouldn't be about the presents, but realistically it so is. And so long as I don't bankrupt myself I will be happy. And this year my family have decided we are each giving two presents to every person which really concentrates the mind on what to get.

I do love this time of year. It means I can unleash my rather excellent Christmas CD collection including Elvis' Christmas Collection, the Beach Boys at Christmas and various more traditional tunes. Oooh and I will get to watch It's a Wonderful Life soon too, hoorah!

The husband is off out tonight so I am going to go home from work, put on some loud Krishna Das and practice as I totally failed to get up this morning. Will get back to morning practice tomorrow as I don't have the 'recovering from Ana Forrest' excuse to use anymore which is a shame.

In a related thought, I wonder where Ana Forrest gets her marvellously loud and coloured yoga trousers from, I want some. Oh god, am such a materialist, maybe all this yoga really isn't doing me any good whatsoever....
