Imagine the hottest, most scorching day in August.

Then imagine a violent late afternoon thunderstorm on that day. Then imagine that the sun comes back out after the storm is over, raising clouds of steam from the pavement. That is what it felt like in the hot room last night in the studio, where I went for a hot 90 at 6:30.

I had a good practice, though. James mixed things up a bit, doing a vinyasa of ardha chandrasana, trikonasa and dandayamana bibhaktipada janushirasana early in the series. Trikonasana was easier in one sense, because it was earlier in the class and I felt stronger, but also harder, because I was not as warmed up.

During poorna salabhasana, he came and sat on my legs. Man!! When he did that, I really flew up in that pose. It was awesome! Today the muscles in my mid back are sore, but in a good way.

Yesterday morning I went to the dermatologist because I was worried about a couple of spots on my left forearm. They weren't moles, but instead lighter spots with a pink center. One spot had been pink since the summer, and the other two had turned pink within the last month. I had myself in a state, imagining I had skin cancer. She said they could turn into cancer, so she froze them with liquid nitrogen. It stung some while she was doing it, but I did my yoga breathing and it helped. The three spots have now blistered and while they don't hurt, I get the willies if I think about banging my arm against something.

Today has been cloudy and disgustingly warm. My hair is really big and curly and looks like crap. Tonight a bunch of us moms are going to Ikea to eat dinner and shop. I'm looking forward to it!

Tomorrow morning we're all meeting for coffee after dropoff, then going to help Beth with xmas Decatur bag checking. Brenda is coming tomorrow afternoon, and tomorrow night I am working a shift at the Oak*hurst table at the Marketplace. Saturday morning we are going to the parade; I think Robin & Gloria and families are going also.
