Yup, it's a huge, black/blue/purple/red/yellow bruise on my left thigh I am currently sporting for a week now. No thanks to a 12 year old black Labrador Retriever that bit me and my sweet, gentle Saint Bernard for no reason. Anyway, I don't really want to discuss the incident right now. Trudy and I are both okay, thankfully. Someone had asked me if I've had a tetanus shot since the incident. Yeah, I think I've had one years ago--the doctor who had administered it has been retired for many years now.
So, this bruise of mine is not pretty. In fact, it's pretty horrid, pretty ugly. Anyone who sees it is quite mortified by the sight of it. You know that I love to practice right up front. Today I decided to do just that. What the heck, so what if that ugly bruise is staring right back at me for 90 minutes. I will consider it a challenge for my monkey mind, and for the monkey minds of my fellow yogis. So how do you like 'em apples, eh?
Okay, let's get on with business, shall we? Today marks Day 4. I've mentioned that I'm on the first trimester of the challenge. So everything is pretty rosy at this point. Everything is pretty much going like clockwork. No major aches, pains, soreness, what have you yet, although I must mention that my left bum cheek is crying out lately. The dizzies came back for a short visit today after the Awkward Pose. Locked my knees during Hands to Feet Pose. Standing Bow Pulling Pose is still going strong, as well as Standing Head to Knee. Balancing Stick is touch and go. I do need to stretch those arms and keep them strong and taut.
With the class over, after that invigorating shower, and relishing my Emergen-C spiked water, I yearn to go back to the hot room soon! Does this mean that a Back-to-Back and/or a Double are looming in the horizon? At the moment, it sounds pretty appetizing...
Good night, Mommy. I love you.
