Thanks LT,
Just wondering how the heck to explain it. Didn't have the chance when my mother got in from work today, and she's meant to be taking me. The timing was weird because she found out today that a studio space she was considering moving into has been let to somebody else. The other thing is that I usually write a blog about the workshops, for which I kind of need to be there... __________________ 'Somewhere up above the great divide Where the sky is wide, and the clouds are few A man can see his way clear to the light 'You have all the grace you need for today, and today is all that matters.' - Steve Austin |

Boy, this medical weight loss program through my work must be pretty popular. I finally got scheduled for my first dr appointment, and it's not until Nov 1! And I don't see the dietician until December. Well, I'm sure the time will pass quickly. In the mean time I'm trying to get back to walking every day.

Hey WFS,
Thanks for asking. It's hard to field that question because I tend to go by what I feel I need rather than the teacher. The most important things for me are my motivation and what my body will allow me to do. Most of the time I use yoga somatically. __________________ 'Somewhere up above the great divide Where the sky is wide, and the clouds are few A man can see his way clear to the light 'You have all the grace you need for today, and today is all that matters.' - Steve Austin |

I'm going to go against the grain, Lost, and suggest that you face your trigger head on. I have a feeling that you're stronger than you think you are and can deal with it. And if you can't and need to leave the room for a bit, I'm sure these kids can deal with it. I'm the queen of avoidance though, so take my advice with a grain of salt.

Thanks, NP.
Have to say that despite my two hour conversation with the helpline this afternoon, my work ethic is close to winning out here. I don't want to go through it again, but it would be weird if I wasn't there. __________________ 'Somewhere up above the great divide Where the sky is wide, and the clouds are few A man can see his way clear to the light 'You have all the grace you need for today, and today is all that matters.' - Steve Austin |

My mom decided to ride out Milton together with my dog in her apartment in Florida. They live in apartment building in a place way above sea level. She apparently took part in a community room "countdown" like for new year's eve for landfall. Her area is not flooded, and by now she has power again and the sewage plant is working. Water was always okay.
I do not understand her staying still... a huge storm that might have flooded her whole area for days or worse just went randomly a few miles South so it didn't bother her as much... I'm glad the people were very stick together kind of guys. They seem to have a text system in place for each other, the whole building is working together even though there's no big problems. |

It seems a pretty common human impulse, to deal with imminent danger by ignoring it. Of course, I’ve gone for miles-long walks voluntarily through the eyes of two hurricanes and -15F weather with no ill effects, so I may biased. |

HFC! Hair of the stopdog!
Ya know, y'all wouldnt be so cavalier about things if that woulda been a 2 by 4 flew into Anderson Cooper last night. Missed it by that much, as Get Smart used to say! ETA - Man, i was exhausted for a good 24 hours after i stopped working yesterday. But i was really pushing it. Altho not to the point where i was wetting myself, as usually happens on the last day of a house move! I guess i will know that i am getting old if my physical recovery time exceeds 24 hours. Altho usually i am okay after a nap and a good nights sleep. So i ended up taking it easy today. Watched Law and Orders tonight. Ba-bom! |

The dancer spawn moved to Florida to dance, and was at the edge of the stupid hurricane. After Helene I gently suggested that folks here were a little worried because we don't have those things. This time he texted me the day he and his roommate went hurricane shopping (water and snacks), and the day of when they were all holed up in their apartment to prepare, AND the morning after to let me know they were fine but had lost power. And he texted his grandmother too, without being reminded. So. He's a good egg.

I find Benji pretty inspiring, though. I can lie down with my eyes closed, yawn, and look around to see what's going on with the best of them. (Benji is the dog, for those who may not know.)

I often think that with Adriene, WFS!
If modifications exist, I wonder why she doesn't offer them. __________________ 'Somewhere up above the great divide Where the sky is wide, and the clouds are few A man can see his way clear to the light 'You have all the grace you need for today, and today is all that matters.' - Steve Austin |

Couch Workout Club day 71-72
Yesterday I was delighted to find that the 10-minute yoga video offered in this month's 10before10 self care challenge by the bereavement charity who have been so helpful to me was accessible. Today I had an optician's appointment, and then walked around town. __________________ 'Somewhere up above the great divide Where the sky is wide, and the clouds are few A man can see his way clear to the light 'You have all the grace you need for today, and today is all that matters.' - Steve Austin |

Some Dr. T dry humor for you from earlier this week:
We were talking some about the "love stuff" from a couple years ago, where I'd said I loved him (platonically) and he seemed accepting at first, then got all weird about it. At the time, he said I was the first client to have said that to him. Yesterday, I said something like, "With my being the first person to have said that to you. Well, not the first 'person.' I assume, if nothing else, at least your wife has said it to you." Dr. T: "It's an arranged marriage. We're still working our way there." |
