No yogi training

B refers to yoga as Yogi training, (rhyming with Jedi). No yogi training for a while for me. I am hurt. Yep, hurt, and pretty badly. I have strained a muscle in my ribs and I can't do anything. I have to take some time off yoga. This is hard for me, but perhaps this is an exercise in the path of yoga itself, non-attachment to the physical practice.

I am soooooooo ready for our vacation starting on the 15th. Get me out of here. If I have to see one more Hummer I'm gonna die. Yep, just keel over. Granted, so cal is great in many ways, but right now I'm feeling REALLY over the mindset here. Hmmm, maybe this is my yoga lesson of the week- Non-judgement. Is this part of yoga? Probably. Just feeling weird about the money thing here- So much money- and when you don't have it, nor really care to have an abundance, it is like you don't really fit in. But perhaps this is my perception only and reflects some kind of self confidence issues as I don't have any money, nor do I care to have an abundance. I like that word, abundance, but it can be used in strange ways. Some anusara people talk about abundance and relate it to material wealth. I wonder how and when that translation came about.

I heard something disturbing. I won't name names, but someone was talking about how she wants to meet someone and the qualities she would like to find in a partner. These qualities were all very honorable, nice to her and her kids, responsible, mature, like minded, etc. The person she was talking to said "you need to be more specific in what you want, HOW will this guy treat you, and HOW MUCH money per year will he make, etc." This last comment blew me away. Is that really number two on the list? Wow, my perception of this person has now changed quite a bit. I am disappointed. But heh, that is life, good to know I guess.

Back to the day in my life, we got our post office box today, going to arrange for a storage space and start moving our junk in there this weekend. Next thursday or friday (depending on whether we get all our crap moved out in time) we will be heading for the hills. I love to hike and to sleep outside. I also just love spending time with B. As is probably evident, I am in love. Ahhhh, it's so great. And it just seems to get better all the time. Did anyone ever see the Notebook? I rented it when B was in Cabo and I was expecting to be making fun of it the whole time. Well, I loved that movie and I swear, like the beatles said "All you need is love." (I hope that was the Beatles anyway, besides, you get the point). Anyway, I am in love and it's probably the best place in the world to be.

In re: to vacation, I've heard that the Trinity Alps are spectacular and not crowded and so perhaps we will get up there. We are also thinking about moving to Oregon after I've done my student teaching and perhaps we will have enough time on this little excursion to get up there. Gosh, I am all about vacation.

I am drinking a glass of Syrah, oh yummy. Just had some soup. Feel fat but heh, I am a girl with body issues, that's what we do best. B is working on his van which equals B is frustrated. I had some stuff to do for school so I was gone for a few hours this arvo (as say the aussies) and I think he's been working on it ever since. Love a man all dirty and sweaty!
