Fishing

I went back to Monroe for Thanksgiving last week. We had a very nice, relaxing time, which I know Cody needed greatly. We went out for a little while on Friday night to this bar/restaurant that apparently the entire town goes to now. They were having an anniversary party and it was pretty packed. Cody was outside smoking (I know, I hate it.) and some redneck made a comment about his earrings. The guy said something along the lines of, "Two earrings...that must mean you're double gay." Dumbass. While I enjoy going home, there are many reasons why I don't live there anymore and comments like that are one of them. Cody said the guy was just fishing for a fight and he didn't give him the answer he wanted to hear, which is a good thing because rednecks run in packs.

I spent the entire weekend eating, drinking, and doing not much else. There was so much food at my parents' house it was unreal. I ran yesterday and went to an ass-kicking yoga class last night. Sean had two humidifiers in the room so it felt like a summer day in New Orleans. But it was a good class and it made me feel better.

Big change coming soon. That's all I can say for now.

Giving Thanks

I haven't had much to write about lately and I'm not sure why. I've been really busy, so that could be one thing. In the past week, I've fallen asleep on the couch or in the recliner at 9:30 pm on three different occasions. It will probably happen tonight, too. The bummer about that is that I wake up before 5:00 am and can't go back to sleep. But when I want to get up at 5:30 and go running before work, waking up early is not such a bad thing.

I went to Hannah's Detox and Recharge workshop at Castle Hill on Saturday. I've done that three times now and haven't been disappointed once. I was really sore this time and I don't remember that happening the last two times. My quads were on fire the next day. Hannah said maybe it's because I'm squeezing my leg muscles more than I used to...something she taught me to do. I'm a fairly flexible person, so I've really tried to focus my practice on muscular energy more than flexibility. I was thinking about how much my practice has changed since I first began almost four years ago. It's actually always changing and I think that's good because it's easy to get stuck in your yoga practice. It's sort of like a metaphor for life. Well, that's my insightful thought for the month. Enjoy.

Oh, and I'm super excited about Thanksgiving. I'll be headed home next week and I honestly can't wait!
