Man, my chatarungas suck.

Because I did a hot class last night, and because I needed to take a shower first thing, I just did surya namaskars today - 10 A's and 6 B's.

I cannot lower myself to just above the floor. I don't have the arm strength yet to do that, so I have to lower something all the way to the floor. What I have been doing is lowering just my chest while keeping my legs off the floor, but then in order to do updog correctly, I have to kind of shimmy forward which isn't right either.

By the time I got to my last surya namaskar B, I was pretty much collapsing onto the floor with noodle arms. I am stronger than I was when I first started, but I have a long long long way to go.

I did manage to push up into a backbend and hold for six breaths.

I was susie homemaker today.....I made a pot of vegetable broth with some broccoli and celery that had been languishing in the fridge for a while, and I threw in half a package of dried shiitake mushrooms that had been in the pantry for god knows how long, plus some fresh parsley and carrots. I also made a batch of bread crumbs from the bread ends I had been saving and storing in a baggie in the freezer, and I also made a batch of caramelized onions in the crockpot (which I had to move to the back deck with an extension cord because I didn't want everything in the house to be saturated with the smell of caramelized onion, as delicious as they smelled).

I also did our taxes....I keep thinking there must be something wrong, that I entered or did something wrong, because we are getting a bigger refund than ever before. We do pay a boatload in property taxes and mortgage interest, but Lee must have also over-withheld. I've been through it again, and everything looks right. I'm scared to file lest a mistake turn up.

For dinner we went to Mellow Mushroom and I had a greek salad, a glass of wine, a (horrors) slice of feta cheese and sun dried tomato pizza and then (double horrrors) several bites of moose track ice cream. I was fishing around in the carton for the ribbons of caramel, which are by far the best parts.

Primary at home in the morning.
