Work life balance is so simple when one only works three days a week. At least I get to live that life this week. Actually, I cannot complain (well I can and generally do, but I'm in a good mood).
Last week was a four day work week,
This week is three days,
Next week is four days,
Following two weeks I'm on holiday with my sisters in town
After that I'm off to Shanghai for a week (ok - that's work).
That takes me to the end of May.
In June I will most likely head back to WHQ for work meetings; but of course will tack on some days off to be with my sister and her family. Come back and it will be July. I hear July and August weather in England is generally wet and not so nice; so am planning to explore Spain and Italy with D.
I am so incredibly fortunate.
Decided to go to yoga class tonight even though I was tired and wanted to lay on the couch and drink wine. Of course, once I was there glad I made the effort. While not a great practice, it wasn't bad. I got my shoulders touching in kurmasana. I've always been close, but with such damn long legs it's hard to get legs totally flat. Plus all those years of running doesn't help. Yasmin gave me one more pose Ardha Matsyendra. While the pose looks easy, I definitely feel it in my shoulders. And here I thought my shoulders were open - I guess there is always more opening....
After class Yasmin told me I get to split my practice. My first words were yeah! As it is I completely rush through my entire practice and it takes me just under two hours. By the time I get to the end where I should really be working hard, I'm exhausted. By splitting, I can cut out more than half of the primary series and go straight into 2nd series. This will allow me to really work on my backbends which need a much more work. Plus, I would like to get all the foot behind head poses which would help me with supta kurmasana.
okay D needs my help with something - gotta go.
I haven't proof read - so hopefully this isn't too sloppy.
